Anyone know what the "other" mode is? Did they want to have an "SP1200" mode, but couldn't legally or what?

they should return the favour and make a maschine mode... but do something funny to **** up the sound as a cheap shot

You could be right, unless the "other" button covers more than one emulation and they didn't want to clutter the interface.

True....but if that's the case and you can assign more "modes" there, why can't a user have more than 8 banks? Not that I would ever need more than that, but shit...if it's one big assignable mouse, why not?

I dunno...we're speculating here....guess we need more info.

They'll just give us more dudes in tight clothes bangin' on it for now .

Makes it cool .

Indeed....

I'm with everyone else, it needs to work in standalone mode for me to consider it.

I spoke to Akai on their FB page and they wont confirm it works in standalone mode but they have said "their software is killer". Which suggests it's purely software.

Lmao

That's the exact opposite of answering your question....


That's like


Customer to apple rep: Can I use my iphone in airplane mode?

Apple rep: It makes GREAT phone calls!


SMH

Fool me once....

Hey lab rats, let me know how this works out.

they just mentioned on twitter that the software is standalone

What is slightly sad is that we will probably never see another true MPC. Looks like the 5k was the last of the breed...

So they have. Now I'm even more interested to see more videos.

Well, I am guessing they mean it can do both. It can work standalone or with a computer. Like the Beat Thang (what a piece of shit that is).

Although they couldn't answer me directly when asked.

Edit: I see what you meant. Ignore the above. Just woke up to catch the launch still asleep.

They are saying under $1000.
