For example if l right now had the 2000XL l wouldn't get either machine. But if my 2000XL broke down l wouldn't invest in buying a new used one l would get a X or Live. Hence, l love the fact that the legacy MPCs still can replace parts thats kinda dope. But for me at this state and time ti go new would be good for me.
That's all bro.
From what l hear the MV is a dope

My MV8800 was working fine and I still bought another machine. A N.O.S. MV8800
Thats why I'll wait to see what actually is going to work without issues on the X before I buy one. Looks promising though. I can always make room for another dope machine.

Now people asked about having VSTs inside the X or Live, hummmm I think Akai will come with that next. Neko had it, it was a big huge keyboard with VST capability. It fell through because it really cost to much. But it was a good idea. I think Akai is going to build/building an MPC with VSTs! That would be smart on their part. I am only speculating, but if I was Akai I would be in the lab making it right now!
Time stretch in this baby is ridiculous.

It would be nice to run vsts but I don't think it will ever work unless it's proprietary.
The open labs stuff was more powerful than the live-x. There isn't enough ram to run sample based plugs.
I don't think it will ever happen.

Icepulse wrote:Yeah. What I'm saying is that if the street price is $2200, and stores are going as low as 1699, it means their OH&P per unit is pretty high, because they can
Still sell it for $500 less than the street price, and still turn a profit.
