Hi!

I pre ordered my MPC One on the 29th past month in Belgium at Keymusic and I was wondering if anyone in a simular situation has an idea on an actual release date.

I've seen some sites say beginning of april, some say early march and I'm not sure what to believe. I am very hopeful it'll be here at the end of the month but some input would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

is the smooth release in the US any indication? I am so impatient that I was looking to buy a Live instead but now theyre all sold out at the lower price and some stores wont stock them anymore it says.

this really sucks so much.. akai is such a tease

here in canada the live was a **** to buy (at a shop, not talking amazon etc...) And now for the ONE, the stores are saying they won't be arriving until june due to the corona virus. That is the result of paying full price on a pre-order while NAMM was still happening... so about a month ago. The entire first batch skipped the country.

It seems the Live is unofficially discontinued and a Live Mk 2 is already mentioned in the installer code for the current MPC firmware. So we'll probably see the new generation of MPC Live at some point this year. Maybe.... :popcorn:

You mean a Live or a One? Preordered a One in the UK, my dude says early April. Can’t freaking wait. Especially seeing all the videos and feedback from peeps so far, seems like a good one :nod:

I meant a Live, unfortunatly musicstore.com is extremely incompetent and now let me know that it's not being produced anymore and that they cannot deliver.. So the MPC One and an external battery pack it is for me.
