I would pay money to have more useful features in a more reduced interface with more information on one screen.
I really think that stretching out the 4K screen to fit the current screen dimensions would still be touch friendly while at the same time be more efficient and look less like a tablet.

I watched a few videos comparing the workflow of MPC to Maschine. I love the concept of Live 2, but the workflow makes me think it’s better I stick to Maschine giving it another chance. I know it, I like it and it is closer to Ableton Live which I also use. MPC is very different for me.
However, I may be interested in a Force mini or Live 3 in future. I’ll be watching for workflow changes/updates (if any) and want to utilize what I already own.
Thank you!

It's completely ridiculous how people have jumped on this. That guy re-hashed the leaked info about the MPC XL and One+ (i.e. the stuff we already knew about, with FCC filings and firmware code to prove it all) and added that Mini 'rumour' at the end, presenting no evidence whatsoever.
Maybe there is a Mini, but jeez, don't you guys want at least 'some' evidence before even vaguely believing these people?

Did you guys know MPC Tutor is actually an anagram for "corp mutt", and is underground slang for Chinese Beat Farmer? Coincidence, I think not. Tutor doesn't do all this MPC work out of the goodness of his heart, but so that he can put beat stealing trojan software onto your MPC. I would say more, but I am already afraid for my life.

On topic... tbh I was highly disappointed when I got the MPC, awkward to use, couldn't understand it coming from roland and korg gear. But personally, I think MPC's are seriously powerful tools for music production. Even after only a handful of uses have I found that actually, once you know what's what, these things are pretty easy to use.
It's just a shame about the bugs and corporate behaviour wrt updates, consumer needs and such. I've had a few crashes the last time I used it, not really inspiring me to want to use it and has actually put me off wanting to keep it! Though I probably will sell all my other hardware and switch to software. More opportunities, possibilities, cheaper, easier to backup and replace... Only downside I had with software was controllers weren't very good, but after buying the MPK Mini Plus, I've found software to be much easier to use. I need more pads and knobs though and so I'm looking to get Arturia's Beatstep Pro to complete my setup for software.
If an MPC mini does arrive, I will probably sell my live 2 for a more compact MPC. But if a Live 3 arrives, I don't see any reason to upgrade, I don't need a massively powerful MPC with more RAM and better CPU, I won't use the free expansion packs and won't purchase any more plugins. I bought OPx4, but tbh wish I hadn't, though it was very cheap. I just don't like the whole ecosystem of iLok, installing all the software etc.
