We shall see what happens with this MPC


People will buy it, like it, start to hate it, complain about updates, get updates, like it, complain, customize it with wood and red skins, complain how it's too clean, make a post about it and get CLIPPED!

Youtuber will buy it to make youtube videos.
Collectors will buy it fulfill their Completionist habits.
Beginners will buy it because it's cheap.
Hobbyist will buy it, to be apart of the conversation.
Ebay'er will buy it to SCALP it for more.
Professionals: Will buy it, use it, make money, write it off on taxes, sell it, and move on.
Others: Will buy it because it looks good on their wood table and with their potted plant.


One more type of Professional: Will look at it, remember the MPC Fly and MPC Element, remember how everyone said their existence would fund additional development of the platform, remember the parts dump that it really was, chuckle, close the webpage and go back to finishing a song to make a deadline - all within less than 15 seconds.

LOL

Hard disc streaming for the Live/X/One is once again "confirmed" to be coming. Someday. LOL! :lol:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzM38LNaBQU?t=717

It's at the 11:58 mark.

Nick: "I'm guessing you probably get asked this a lot, but... um.. is there any plans for direct to disc or streaming from disc?"

Andy (Akai): "Um... CERTAINLY. YES."


I'm guessing 3.0, but the question is: will we see it in 2020 or 2021? :Sigh:

Yeah, I miss the good ole days. Now we just have dudes, kicking over trash cans to Lo Fi Relaxation beats. Talking about, "I'm bring it back" and "I'm straight DAW LESS yo!" pass me the plant food, lemon scented pledge and your splice password. :lol:

Disc streaming. This would address a major shortcoming in the Live and One, and open up a whole set of new feature possibilities. As both are geared towards standalone mode, PDC ranks pretty low on the totem pole, IMHO.
