Dear Akai,
As a longtime owner and user of Akai products, I come here today suggesting an addition to the MPCX that would truly make it the centerpiece for music production for any studio while still permitting the MPCX to remain as mobile and standalone as it is today.
You may fear that this may become too expensive for your user base but, making this system modular would make it very attractive for producers, musicians that would like to expand for additional control what already is a great product.
The Idea would be to build an expansion for the MPCX that would incorporate an 8 channel mixer on the side in a modular fashion where one would remove the end cheek for one end an attach the mixer and installing the removed end cheek on the other side of the mixer. People would have and additional option of adding a second expansion for a total of 16 channels for mixing. Along with each expansion I would suggest a screen the width of the expansion and lower that the touch screen currently on the MPCX or however you would see appropriate, that would serve both as a meter bridge as well as a controller for effect parameters, etc.
P.S.: This would also compete equally with Pro Tools and Logic Pro x with one advantage. The Akai sounds far superior.
Sincerely,
Carlos Pacini
