Hell will freeze over before anything comes along that ticks every box, so this sounds like a useful piece of software that we could all benefit from.
Some of it's downfalls are the:
1.Slice system, which doesn't allow you to edit, add or delete any slice points.,
2.When chopping using BPM if you've chopped a sample into 64 pieces it will only map the first 16 sounds to pads instead of all 4 banks of 16.
3. BPM is also lacking a global undo feature which is frustrating.

I understand that not all MPC users would benefit from this but I would be all over it. The problem with these others is the hardware really, not the software.
The machine software actually looks like it replicates much of the MPC software quite well.
Does AKAI have a feedback email? I will write a damn book on what they need to do, who they should talk to to make it happen.

I was thinking that too when I saw that image then found out it was fake.
They tried to fake us out to get interested in their software .
The fact they had to dupe me into being curious made me not give a f*** what they had to sell.

i just made the decisions of just going all soft synth. it would work so much better for me.
i mean, if it feels right. do it.

Just make sure that you aren't compromising workflow and that your PC is capable of handling the VST's you plan on using. I could go all software as well but for me nothing works quit like my mpc as far as workflow not even BPM. Don't get me wrong there are definitely benefits to working in the PC,..I just find that for myself the less I touch the mouse the more I can concentrate on the project at hand. This is one thing that is different for me with BPM,..it seems as if I'm always using the mouse.

well actually im on a mac. but...
dont get it wrong. i wouldnt have it in me to SELL my mpc!! no way...
actually right now. i still use my mpc 1000 a lot. but i just use it as sequencer.
the sequencer on the mpc is gold! platnium or whatever.
