Thanks for that! I saw pictures where it wasn't clear WTF was going on with the back. In that case you guys seem to have the hardware in a good enough position where I would definitely give it a good chance. Now it comes to workflow, but it seems like you guys are on the right track and just need time to iron things out. I'll be watching for sure.

Oh, if I wanted a grill that said "excLOUsiv" could you guys hook that up, and how much extra? That's the only customization I'd really want. Just to let you know, I probably won't be looking at making a purchase till next year, but I want to get as much info. as possible now.

I don't like brussel sprouts!

But never do I go on and on about how brussel sprouts are wack, or try to get brussel sprouts banned from the supermarket, or tell others that they are silly or stupid for liking or wanting to eat brussel sprouts.
As a matter fact I went shopping yesterday looked directly at some brussel sprouts and didn't even think about the fact I don't like them. All of y'all dudes are straight up Beat Kangz Fans because your "Fan"-atic about this product weather you love it or hate it. I guess I just can't wrap my head around why anyone would want to continually talk so much about a product they claim to have no interest in, let alone dislike. But I know the Beat Kangz are loving you cats for all the polarizing energy your giving them...
Never have I seen a beat machine shrouded in so much fervor and controversy.
The Thang must truly be something special.
:lol:


Co sign..... This sums up this whole thread... It has me amazed. I have never in all my life seen so much buzz (positive or negative) about an instrument...... It truly is it own THANG. I'm very surprised to see such STRONG reactions. This is way better than we planned. This is the best Viral ever....

JUST KEEP TALKING..... just let the Thang consume you.... It needs your energy..... It's growling feeding on the positive and especially the negative energy..... Keep poking the caged beast..... make it angry........ rattle the cage..... tell it some more that its gonna fail and no one loves it.......Put your feet on its mommas couch.....

This is Epic..... it's a symphony.... You are helping to write one the craziest tech stories in history..... And you have never even touched it....lmao! I bet we'll be 200 pages deep before it even comes out...... ON THE MPC FORUM!!! Ha HA HA This is great!

Wheres those Bong twins?? ahh hell throw the gay alf in there too!

All that typing and no mention of my grill man. What about my grill? If I get a thang I want that hooked up real nice. I'd rather have my shit customized out the box.

Edit: Ok, how much?

The Thang seems to have XLR / Stereo line-in.


If it's in fact stereo that isn't so bad I guess, but I need this verified if I'm ever going to be a customer. How about stereo outs? Or is that just the headphone jack?

It's just some of the choices on the hardware leave me confused. It just seems like a REALLY expensive controller for the virtual software, and an expensive groovebox.

Work flow is where it's at, and If I have to be tied to a computer to do simple things like stereo sampling, then I have no need or want for this at all.

The only reason I'm giving a damn is because I do see potential here, and a lot of things about the machine I really think are next level and useful, but if the Kangs don't take care of the basics of workflow and basic sampling, I'm just going to stick with the MPC line, cause I at least know it does what I need it to do on the most basic levels without having to put up with a lot of uncalled for annoyances.


Stereo Combo Jack input..... So yes stereo sampling, Mic sampling and bass/guitar sampling

2 head phone stereo outs

and regular stereo outs

6 stereo outputs total


can we assign a track to a different output, so that we can process a some sounds external?

Depends on how you want it.... painted chrome... gold... platinum.... diamonds
Could be 50 -50,000 depends on what you want.

I'd just want chrome saying my production name. How much would that cost?

Probably not in the first OS but the hardware will be able to support that and we want that too so im pretty sure it will be an update.

We may even offer processor upgrades.....oooooh chat about that...

Oh, and if you get a customize grill out the box, do you still get the regular one too? I'm a big fan of transformers and the original one is on some decepticon shit. You guys may remember me joking about that.
