Keyscape is the truth, but the sounds are just okay IMO, but I was hoping for a LOT more Rhodes sounds. You can do so much with a rhodes sound library, and with their creativity, I was expecting much more. But I don’t complain because the ability to create and mold sounds is awesome given the engine.
Agreed, Keyscape sounds better when passed through a filter and layered.
The MPC Live price drop, I think it’s just natural pricing. Holidays are coming up, they need to get in sales before people use their disposable income for a gang of other stuff. My opinion anyway.
Get ahead of the sales, reduce inventory, write off the lost for taxes.
And IMO Akai desperately needs to create a keyboard version of the MPC (think ASR). Keybed with the Live or X touchscreen interface.
If so, what do you think the price?:
This new Roland Fantom... Roland has a long history of reusing the SAME sound source library that Eric Persing created before he left and started Spectrasonics. Roland BEEN reusing the same sound sources for years. Bugs me to all heck. And their marketing reads “uses sounds based on research for decades”, or something to that effect. That to me means, this is STILL based on the same old sound sources. The hardware refresh is cool though. But I’m not necessarily into all the hardware bells and whistles like that. Though I could see why some people would want one. It looks compelling. Just hope it’s not JV 1080 sound library in shiny new hardware format. Being a bit sarcastic, but not really. Lol
Same library:

Akai BEEN missing the boat on creating an ecosystem for their gear. Criminal that they haven’t. Such a missed opportunity.
No ecosystem = Less responsibility. Ease to stop support, without causing global warming. Happens on the Roland side far to often for my taste.
