The MPC X, is a ok controller, ok interface, ok sound module, ok sampler, and ok sequencer. I'm curious to know, how many MPC X user, actually use the CV out in their daily production setup.
Thank **** god it isn't Epson making it or we would have to buy a new one every three months when we ran out of ink hahaha.
Honestly, if I had the money, I would grab an X before the Live because of the CV. I would use the shit out of the CV every single time I turned it on. I LOOOOOOOVE my modular it is my most favoritist thing ever next to my Marshall but god damn is interfacing it a pain in the ass! I only have a 6U case so I didnt want to waste any of it on a MIDI/CV module, I have a Korg SQ-1, the Microbrute (which is useless because of how the CV is tuned), Silent Way for inside Logic, and now a BeatStep Pro which is permanently situated with it. The MIDI to CV thing sucks because of how those work, and the best one I have, Silent Way, falls under that 'Not using third party stuff until Akai gets their shit together' camp.
You know what would rule, if they could somehow allow CV programs to work in the software regardless. My MOTU is DC coupled, Silent Way sends CV and Gate and LFOs and envelopes straight out of the audio outputs to the modular. Let me do it from the MPC with its own CV programs!!! You just eliminated one more piece of extra software I have to keep updated and active with. I can be one step closer to keeping all this shit in the MPC which I am getting more and more and more into every time I use it. I think Im gonna go suggest this in the software and straight to Dan over at Gearslutz heh.
