MPC Live + MPC X: new standalone touchscreen MPCs?

eclipxe wrote:We already knew 2.0 had clip launching. Dan talked about it last year.

Yeah I know, im just posting what dude said, he says it looks amazing & its worth the wait & that hes going to email akai to tell them to clarify it to touch users.Im sure you read that already like everyone else?

Been thirsting like everyone else for info on these new units (hopefully) dropping soon. I like to work using a mix of DAWs and hardware. Got out of producing to do other things a few years back and sold my 1K. Ouch.
So I completely missed the Akai controller movement.

The idea of a new standalone unit has me coming out of hiding. I'm thinking about copping the MPCX but I know I'm going to miss the portability that you get with the 1K.

Does it make sense to cop the LIVE and a used Ren instead of the MPCX?

Well Dan told me that it was gonna be more than $899 for the Live, so I guess your decision would be all about the price points and how much you're willing to invest. I personally won't even entertain either until I see 2.0, bc I think both of the new units' success or failure will be directly tied to how good the software is.

welcome - was also thinking in that direction ; LIVE and MPC x

=uno duo tres magnificat=

The info im getting says it sounds like their only showing live FOR USE AND DEMO at namm not x,at least fully & that they are still finishing putting together more commercials.he says x isnt as finished as live which is basically done.He says x isnt going to be usable at namm for sure. And that well get a teaser video of 2.0 before namm.So what do you guys think? If only live gets released but they show x would you wait for x or cop live now? Or do you guys think touch would be a better deal at half price. Assuming it goes for $1k-1200?

I don't want no 'Live' the better bring out the 'X'.. Is it even possible to submit an unfinished product to the FCC..??

More info, 2.0 will for sure be free for touch buyers,(I know pete already said this before),
Im sure this is the reason why they didnt say anything as they assumed people would be so happy with 2.0 that they forget the broken promises.
My contact says hes sure theyll at least show X at namm.He just doesnt think theyll be released together. & Doesnt think x will be FULLY usable ,general public/journos wont be able to try it out.Based on the fact that their still doing software for x.
I will add that I wouldn't be surprised that all this info is leaking because they started putting everything in place now for reveal.(which I know is obvious) Im now believeing everything he says since as we see I was the first to post that they finished 2.0 FOR SURE & everything else then everyone seems to agree he did know,based on developments since then.

All we see here is rumors. I'll believe it when I see it.

I just got new info that for sure namm is going to be dedicated to live & that live is going to release much before x or whatever the name is. This is coming directly from someone who knows.He says he's absolutely sure now. SO IF ANYONE DOESNT BELIEVE THEN HIT MUTE.

I told you everything around 12 hrs before akai released their teaser & finally spoke a lil, that info has now also been confirmed by people who are artists with inside access that can only say certain things who are from ask audio & have replied on twitter, & I now have given fresh info that has not been proven theres no rumours here.So please stop acting condescending towards me as my info has now been confirmed little by little. And my posts time proves it.I told you all I have a source whos now been proven correct.

Who is that from?
I could go and ask my neighbor to predict it all
As I've said, I'll believe it when I see it. There's been tons of rumors around, starting from the "Eclipse" name and all

As ive said how would anyone prove anything except for when everything happens how they said exactly. And right after I said when people were doubting me too.like I said you can hit mute if you dont like leaks or "rumours" as you call them. Every leak can only be confirmed when the company releases info.Be aware your going to look even more foolish very soon when im proven right like before. So far every post from you seems to be acting like you are always irritated by people talking, considering this is a forum I thought peeps would want to find out info,some of which is confirmed as true & some which is from a proven reputable source. You seem to not want me to let people know,so hit mute.

Let's just say the odds are pretty good in favor of it, and move along. We've seen a bit more than "rumors", to be fair.

Just to let you guys know ive been texting with source & thats why I was trickling info out as I was getting it, in my last post thats when I had clarified everything, & thats why it was now set in stone info. Honestly I just wanted to tell you guys what I was finding out but if peeps think I sound lame or full of it just let me know like fanu does.Ill stop saying sh it.Anyone got any input Icepulse,Fanu,jpeg, etc. Do you now believe me or am I full of it? Im waiting fanu,should I leave with my lying arse or is my info bs?

So far this is now confirmed info:Namm will be mainly about live & 2.0, it will for sure not be about x, he says they probably wont even have the x on display or as a picture as they might wait all the way until mayish.Since I now believe he knows for sure then thats a huge disappointment for a lot of people, not for me though.
