Interesting times for sure, but as they said in the above SonicTalk the stuff here is more evolutionary (what people have been waiting for) than revolutionary. Glad to see it finally taking shape now and at the same time giving Apple some competition too. It's all to the benefit of the end-user.



I took the "end of this year" meaning the MS's "embedded systems"-thingy launch or something... not talking about the mpc there.

Apple already has Logic Remote. All this needs is a dedicated IO-hardware controller (25key keyboard, drum pads, sliders and knobs, preamps, audio-midi USB hub), with some additional development in the software. And it's a wrap. Audiobus 2 has just been release.

In terms of Apple competition,

After seeing the "Microsoft devices keynote" I now see that Apple is behind Microsoft. Apple only just started with semi-embedded systems for cars. While Microsoft is using many layers, for development platforms.



Btw, I'm almost sure Roland will now come back with a new MV. So indeed, inserting times are ahead.

the one with the mpc redaisance is that a laptop in front of it? And is it in any way connected??

thanks for your elaborations

The Dell tablet (which is quite nice, btw) in front of the MPC is also running Windows Embedded Industry 8.1, but is unrelated to the MPC. It's actually the tablet for the Micros portable point of sale app.

The only MPC connections used on stage are audio and power.

Welcome here, I'm new here as well.

Question: is the Intel Quark you're talking about the same as the Quark on the Edison?

Thanks.

The board we used in the piano demo is the Intel Galileo. However, I believe the Quark on the Edison is identical.

AkaiPete, peteblues, MSPete... why isn´t there an engelbert, for chrissake??

it looks as if the chassis is slightly bent towards the right side. somewhat odd.

Strange distortion from my camera. Not sure what's up with that. The actual unit was solid.

From what I've read, these are indeed probably the same in their core.

The major plus I see with this is Akai being able to focus support on one OS. This is why older MPC units are still in use today because of the dedicated OS. Good to see development looking in this direction.

thank you rich hilton

Lmao get ready and save ya money you $3,000 beta testers , i bet you cant wait




some one answer me this , if new mpc came out today will it have 1.6 os ? running the new marverk driver ? y/n will do thx

my point is wouldn't it be smart to have a working /stable os first ? or maybe i am wrong some one plz enlightening me ...

and if every thing is in the box how will it sound ?. music is about sound and transferring emotion to the world ,,, **** a touch screen flashing pads . ect

1. 1.0, take two
2. You've been enlightened
3. Who cares about sound, just follow the flashing lights.

With all the other competitive options I don't think 3k would move a lot of units.

I'll go ahead and say... at least $1500 - 2000 USD street price.

All my other predictions have been right!

their are more people involved now , and they need to get payed

I can see the glue & duct tape holding that thing together in the pics, that is a prop. I don't even think it's a prototype. It's like one of those cardboard TV's you see on a stand in IKEA
