The MPC One is Europe was never 959€ on Thomann. It was always around 700€ new. In fact I got my MPC One for around 600€ new 2 year ago.

The MPC Live II is 1000€ new, it makes no sense to say that the MPC One was ever 959€ in Europe at Thomann.

Research & Development Is An Expensive Endeavor At InMusic... Unfortunately.

They Concentrate On Revenue 1st....Unfortunately

Too Many Companies Under the InMusic Umbrella Promotes In-House Revenue Competition.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


You'd think that hardware engineering, building grooveboxes, supply chain logistics would be MORE expensive than hiring unpaid interns to fix C++ bugs... but I guess InMusic works differently...

Pads more insensitive as well. But better button options.


:hmmm: Sounds like you have a bum MPC One, dude. If this was the norm for all MPC Ones, your forum would be littered with complaints. The MPC One my buddy has doesn't have any of the issues you mention.

No doubt, but past warranty now and I can live with its flakiness as I mostly use the Live (which is the only MPC I've owned that has not had any issues whatsoever).
