The box on the floor looks a lil puffed up as if it's an inflatable box, zoom in and check the edges, straight lines.

Saw a comment from the homie liftedNoise saying he was able order one while it was up and contacted Alto and they said it would ship when embargo was lifted in likely a couple weeks. So I think it’s a real

If it's named SAMPLE then it might not allow import of wav's, etc since it's marketed as a small knock flavor off of MPC 3000. There's a Micro SD slot for storage, I wanna know about import.

IDK yet.

It’s cute. I want it. I’d like the ability to import, waiting to see if that is possible, I can’t imagine they’d not include that, but then again, programs were thrown to the wolves so any and all type of **** is possible.

I have a XOG a L2Retro A Push 2 a Force and a MV 8000 and I have only been using MY XOG once every Week Lately... How Do I justify Buying this? :WTF:

I could easily Deny the XL and L3 by doing a cost to benefit analysis...

But when I see this my pockets are hungry to bite...

I'll just get a skin or some wood panels for my XOG and feel like I got something new.. Lol :roll:

2 of my Q-links aren't usable on my MPC One (out of warranty), Akai recommend sending to the nearest service centre, which is Thailand. Jumping through hoops dealing with import and export tax plus shipping and the time time all that takes, make that not worth the cost. The recommended Vietnamese parts place is not responding to my emails or facebook messages, but they are reading them. The Pro-Pack has returned to 200 dollars plus tax before I could get my machine fixed to know it's worth it, and it's not through Air Music so I have no idea if that was a genuine intro price only, or will follow the Air Music sale not sale, sale pattern. So I am looking the cost of repair plus 200+tax, or getting a new one. I wonder how far away the next gen MPC One is, and how much it's price will grow.

I'm unemployed at the moment, meaning I have to do Visa runs, so maybe I'll just fly to Thailand for the next run. Probably cheaper than posting the MPC back and forth.

I was hoping to fly back to the UK at the end of the month, and maybe grab the parts there, but half the flights that way connect in the Middle East.
