Maybe 4gb ram and all plugins like the Key version?
Still too big, clunky, a waste of space.
If they come out with a Live with 4gb Ram and plugins, I will start to think about it.


That's def what they gonna do. Give u all the plugins + lil bit more RAM. Boom, xl'd

for what I expect the price of the MPC XL to be... you could get used a MPC Live mk2 and a Force... essentially having 4gb of memory, twice the audio tracks, twice the amount of plugins you can load, and all the fun stuff that the Force gets you like 64 pad fun, arranger mode, etc... :D

Until the announcement drops with some interesting new key features, I guess I'm just not seeing it...

I see a lot of criticism on people's reactions, but like... which people? I haven't seen a comment or a post on YT, FB, or here where people are claiming this is going to be make them a better producer, or that this is the greatest thing ever. Generally, the reaction has been pretty chill. Where are all these people we are supposed to be making fun of for being overly excited?

Well it's a nice addition if the MPC 3.0 software give us a little extra and or the have a beefer audio card built-in allow 16 stereo or 32 mono output in standalone.. I do like the color it reminds me of my 3000.. I'm waiting like all to hear what's what ... we can all speculate but we don't know yet

Ugly draft design . Left knobs and the screen's and oled's edges as they where
The OS also needs other colour

Maybe OS v3 will be more meaningful , rather this new faceplate

No argument here.
I hope they sell a shit load of these XLs. All users will benefit from it

It would be nice if they sell upgrade 4gb memory board for those that have the X...
