Let's not make it about me. Put up four positive features and try not to repeat what someone has already said.


Sure. I'll play the game. :nod:

But I'll list all of the positive features about the MPC Live 2, because that's how I roll: :lol:

  • Truly portable with up to 6-hours battery life :smoker:
  • Built-in speaker so you can comfortably jam without having to wear cans (patio, kitchen table having coffee, etc)
  • 8 CV Outs
  • Redesigned buttons for quicker access compared to Live (gen 1)
  • More buttons than Live (gen 1)
  • Master volume on front/top for easier adjustments on the fly
  • Bluetooth and WiFi (which will support Bluetooth MIDI in and out as of 2.8, according to "sources") ;)
  • Ableton Link over WiFi
  • Ableton Live control over WiFi
  • Etc, etc, etc (just fill in the blanks for all of the original Live gen 1 features at this point)...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: for the money, Live is the best MPC out right now, IMHO.

That's a good four, the others were already listed.

It’s not hard at all - plenty of things have already been provided. You just don’t see any value. :nod: :lol:

I agree and disagree with things you say, but they have value. I can't say I like or dislike you, because I don't know you. Just like you don't know me or know what values I see. :nod:
