A part of me feels like this is the case.


Same on the X practice top and metal for the pad and button layout.. why grey or light blue qlinks to match the cursor.. if it is the same price as the X when it was released I will be surprised.. guitar center did give me 10% at the time on pre-order..

The bottom half looks old & dingy. The overall color scheme is :vomit: but I never liked the color of the old MPC's but loved the black 2500 with black pads the first time I saw it Rogue Music in NYC. It looked like the MPC Batman would use 8)

This guy is making a fuzz about it....a lot of talk and repeating and no information - I hate those "look at me" people.
Not buying this, as the red buttons on my X broke quite quick. If it would be different, they would have put in some decent stuff in it, like in the ONE.
I think it is a hoax......let's see

How would someone know a video is gonna be crap BEFORE watching the video? :hmmm:

It was self-evidently automatically crap. Video about a product "leak", by a youtuber. Don't watch that stuff. All relevant information - if any - can be shown in one or two lines of text and a picture, and it can be quoted on forums like this. The likelihood of the video being crap is very high, it makes no sense to pay just in case it miraculously wasn't bad after all. Just stop paying = watching. Mark all crap channels with "don't recommend". Once crap, always crap.

If there's something in there, it is written here as text. Don't pay.

'cause I am curious as many.
And more important - waiting for better version of the X - the current it is flimsy made - not robust, as an instrument "on tour" and therefore in heavy use should be: solid as a rock.

Unfortunately there is no other integrated box out there. I have moved from a Yamaha RS7000 to the X to get a contemporary tool - all said :-(

I think my mpc live 2 is pretty well made. It feels as robust as my other stuff. It is my only plastic thing but I don't hold that against it.. it feels much better then Roland and Korg stuff.
