I have to agree, actually. Admittedly when the One was announced, I was one of those who criticized the smaller pads. But really - it's no big deal at all. Perfectly usable, in fact. Honestly - if the legendary "Live MK2" makes an appearance at some point, if they made the pads smaller like the One in order to accommodate more buttons, I'd be totally OK with it.

Those pictures Enoch posted do the units a lot more justice than the promo pics I looked.

Maybe it’s just me?


No it's not just you - I agree as well. Their promo material has been "eh"...

Dam l wish to have a friend like that. Who wants to be my friend and by me The One :mrgreen: :popcorn: And l wouldn't give a dam who knew it either. :nod:


Naaaah, that's just Charlie being typical CharlesRandolph. He's crushing on me big time, and can't stop trolling threads I make or trying to pick apart everything I say. It's really quite adorable. I'm married, though, so he needs to know I'm off the market. #flattered :nod: :lol:

I think the look of the One is more about reusing parts than anything. Not like it was an intentional design decision that considered UI, ergonomics, usage patters, etc. But if it was all that was available, I’d be cool with it. Though I prefer traditional larger pads.

But really, it doesn’t matter to me either way. My music would sound the same. Blue Soul Ten - Life - currently #1 on two soul music charts. Made with an MPC Live and few dedicated buttons. Haha - shameless self-promotion. But just sayin.
