So it would be less then 100 dollars more. And for 100 dollars more you have an Mpc.with i5 chip and 8gb Ram.
And you can really throw away your computer and just make All inside such an Mpc. As many audiotracks you want, powerful effects and synths and maybe also a mastering chain. That should be a forward thinking from Akai.
Yes, $50 is good for one unit but we're talking about thousand of units. Don't forget, manufacturing, order fulfillment, Testing, Dev, Design, Return, etc, etc..$3500 to $4000 per machine.
Come on.
We are just talking about changing cpu and adding ram.
Don't make it complicated, it's not.
And if they want to keep on selling Mpc, sooner or later they have to do it.
Meanwhile it would be nice if they take care of codings in software and standalone OS and fill the gap with modern times, like making a full midi with multichannels and polishing the odd things we still have.
Not difficult, man.
But sometimes I wonder if Mpc designers ever used their product to play music.
oversight. But, if all they're doing is launching clips... Clips was the focus of the last couple MPC updates (Splice and Ableton).
