That's a long time for a machine not to be in stock. Ebay has them.

Peace Marc happy new year.

Hey man are you trying to make us old? Lmao lol
Just kidding.

So you you got that Fantom? That's a dope joint. I was going to get but now lm getting 37 key Korg joint. Less money plus l want 37 keys do l can rock with the MPC Live.

I like The one it looks cool. Tight sequencer and internal functions. Wanna see if it sells.

now my comments...

i was one of the first to get both the live and X. i sold them both a few months ago to cats who would give them the love they deserve. i moved on to the Fantom 8 platform because i wanted a different workflow.

this weekend i saw andy at the inmusic both and saw the one (i didn't even know it existed). it has a nice feel to it. the pads are smaller and feel that way but still have that mpc feel.

i was going to grab a 707 just because i miss creating music on the go in standalone (i would carry it everyday) but at the price point of the one its a no brainer over roland, and i am a huge roland fan (already ordered the jupiter x).

im not gonna miss the battery nor ableton because i don't use computers for music. bluetooth and wireless were gimmicks TO ME (YMMV) and preferred midi for near zero latency. the phono input--maaaaaybe ... it was a "nice to have".

i track out to an analog desk and will miss the extra outputs, but im also used to hardware gear with only two outputs so ill get over that.

anyone on the fence about this unit should give it a consideration. its still got the live/x swag, just in a smaller box (i also much prefer the square over the rectangle of the live). the physical buttons are a GOOD REASON to consider the ONE!!! less menu diving and shift+ pad (which I never got into because I would not remember the shortcuts. :p) nonsense.

=====

MPC tutor mentioned a few pages back (i read this entire thread) he was not comfy with inmusic hiding the ableton stuff "just because" , and I agree with him, but sadly I see more hardware companies (like tektronix for example) making gear that "ships" with all the bells and whistles (software) but its "hidden" and you can only access it if you buy that additional functionality. the company will then push a software update over ethernet to "unlock" the features. its a business model that seems to be trickling down to music companies, so i can totally see the big corporation in-music adopting this on future products...

And that will be One of course, at Namm they said One will be available at the end of February.

It’s certainly looking that way.

As said earlier, both Guitar Center and BHPhoto have the Live in stock.

You don't know Sweetwater do you? If the One was coming, that sales rep would not have told him they were getting the Live in stock February and pushed aside a One pre-order coming at the same time.

Some retailers are expecting them in between: 01-23-2020 - 02-12-2020. The sooner the better, due to the amount of new products arriving from NAMM and CES.

now dudes arguing bout the MPC being in stock lol

Orrrr....

The production of the Live is on hold right now. And maybe Akai will wait and see if the number of sales declines or not now the One had been announced and availible for pre-order, and stop or pickup on production based on those numbers.

So many MPC’s, so many releases, so many questions

I'm canceled my pre-order when I found out, that the MPC ONE didn't come with Hue lights, Alexa, and Pokemon Go. How am I suppose to make music now?

@ Monotremata

I don't know Sweetwater.
I know Thomann.
On Thomann it's not even listed on Akai Mpc products, it just doesn't appear.
If it was on production, it would be available for preorder.
One is on the list, it says in stock within 7/8 weeks.

Im waing for a thread that says "LETS TALK ABOUT MPC ONE 2" lol hagaaaha

After giving it some thought I am now ready to cop one in 2-3 years for half price in barely used condition from someone who after not having had much success with Maschine started believing that the MPC would be where it's at (of course it wasn't, it's the ASR 10 and SP 1200 but he doesn't know that )

I don't think the Touch got 5 years. We'll see.
