Stoked!

Been a Live user for a while and I love that thing.

There's a big store in Helsinki that sells a lot of music gear and whatnot, and they always put their stuff that's been on display as a test unit on their retail section.
Well, they had X for 989 EUR there – normal price 1799 EUR.
I could not pass up on that one.

So, another X owner here!

I feel Akai has been making nice progress with Live/X and I hope they continue to do so, so happy about owning this one, too.

Cheers!

If the Ableton integration is good it will be even better, we'll finally have our delay compensation for MPC workflow :)

Light um up fanu. With this new ableton integration Akai should be paying you to make the product better.
Much respect, keep turning out the jams,

Akai is tempting me harder than they should with the gold MPC X. The gold MPC Live was "meh", but the gold X? FAM :worthy:

And I can get the 15% off on it, bringing it to under 2k w/ taxes...I'm trying to be responsible here...

Gots to be done :)
Also got an Akai s900 in the mail, so wanna try the X as a combo with it…s900 for crusty beats and the X for sample work!
