You're right, sell it for $500 and it won't sit around.

You're on that purple bus behind the yellow bus.

Depends on your method of finger drumming and working on your Live. If you tend to do it on the table top or your lap, maybe - but even then I don't personally find myself drifting down to rest my palms on anything. When I'm in my studio, it's sitting on an angled stand so I don't even get near that area. YMMV, though.

or could it be just an armrest?

It is NOT an arm rest. It has been confirmed to be a speaker.

Or are we all holding out hope still that it might be step sequencer buttons that they just haven't shown us yet?

Everything we have seen and read suggests it is not an arm rest, and is only a speaker. No step sequencer buttons. Interesting if they fit a mini Bose bass cannon, but I seriously doubt Akai would work that out with Bose and then keep the price point. It's probably a cheaper in-house designed speaker or cheap Chinese knock off.

But it looks more like speakers, no?

It is just a speaker. That's all.

They, quite literally, just added a few buttons and a speaker.

They also, quite literally, added CV outputs.

Yikes! Perhaps step outside and take a breather? There's more pressing things in the world to worry about and get angry about than this, IMHO.

What like Corona?

It's not worth $500. Plus after 1-3 years, it should've made it's money back 10 fold!

CharlesRandolph has lost his his mind . l should just give it away lol

CharlesRandolph l tried to wait but here goes. Why would l sell my live for 500 when someone here said they sold there's for $875? Ebay have lives used from $750 to $850 easy! Mines is in mint condition and up dated.

Yup, sell the old laptop or donate it and use as a tax write off. Equipment is always an fixed asset, so you write off the deprecation over time.

And l bought my live for $959. You actually think who lm selling to would know that? Lmao bruh lm fro NYC lma hustler lma hustler lol

The money l get is going towards the laptop. I got it all figured out.

l can see Papa Charlez at a desk with a calculator trying to figure out the math of my selling the Live with a tax write off lol
