MPC KEY 37...?

You guys actually watch youtube? I find most of the videos to be drivel. Youtube, Google, Meta, lalla have all created an sess pool of pushy ideas and spytech. Yesterday I googled "How long does a cow live?" and it gave me some round about answer about how they are slaughtered at 5 and the lead to "climate change" do to methane emissions. My thought right after reading it was: "I didnt f*ckin ask you that!!!" Thank you joeseph f*cking geobbles dot com!! piece of shit. We are in the matrix in a digital communication sense its too late now. </END OF RANT>

youtube used to be good but started going down hill around 2016 when they started censcoring alot more

so what do u watch now instead of youtube; but yeah agree that most youtube is trivial crap

Struggling to watch anything on youtube these days due to the amount of intrusive ads that keep breaking up the viewing experience, often at the most inopportune moment. I don't mind the odd ad here and there, but it's now getting ridiculous. I'd rather support creators through other means, such as buying their products, subscribing to patreon etc.

And now a big clampdown on adblocking, but I don't think this is going to push people towards a premium subscription, it will just push them elsewhere. If I was a youtube content creator I'd be very weary of what the future holds for youtube. These internet giants can come and go at the drop of a hat. Remember Alta Vista or Myspace?

You can use freetube. Usable on win, mac and Linux. It's ad free and Google account free. You can import your subscribe

https://freetubeapp.io/

It's called "enshittification" and it eventually happens to everything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

We, the people, are the cause. It's not "them", it's us.

YouTube is part of my morning coffee ritual. I see zero ads because I subscribe to a family plan so none of us have to see ads. Much nicer viewing experience! @Ultros - if you think YouTube videos are drivel or can't find content that is genuinely entertaining or educational, then IMHO you're doing it wrong. I don't spend time watching "influencers", either. Great science shows available, and I get all of my late night show clips since I'm too old to stay up until 1 AM watching TV these days.

Yeah same here. I am one of the two people (next to you Enoch - at least everybody is always proud how they NOT subscribe to YT but watch it all day anyway) on this planet who have a subscription for YT because I use it A LOT and can't have ads. There is so much hight quality content on YT that I subscribe to: Documentaries, Tutorials for everything, Shows that German TV Channels upload exclusively to YT, Artsy stuff, and much more. Yes of course there is a lot of bull crap on there. And with my subscription I also fund those channels in a way. But that's the same for almost anything in the world you subscribe to. Being it Green Energy providers or music streaming services. Doesn't matter. All that matters is that they don't get my clicks and I never watch that stuff.

Oh totally tutorials - YT has saved me countless times and thousands of dollars just by watching a video. Love it for tutorials!

Bro why do you have to be so negative? I have a MPC One and MPC Live 2 and neither of them would I consider "screwed up" I loved my One when it was my centerpiece and I'm even more in love with my Live 2. They are amazing devices and at this point I couldn't live without them musically! I can only imagine a Key 61, MPC X or even this rumored Key 37 would be the same!

Ultros wrote:How many variations of the same device do we need or do they need to make? Honestly Akai needs to start another project. A synthesizer, or periphreal add-on for the MPC or something. They are becoming a one note piano. They got like 5 of the same item and the bastard love child of ableton and thats it.

They all serve a different purpose though. A Key 37 would be for someone that can "kinda" play keyboard, or that would normally integrate a midi keyboard into their MPC setup, such as myself with the MPK Mini PLUS which is a 37 key midi keyboard. The Key 61 was more for full fledged keyboardists who also want the functionality of the MPC workflow. I play keyboard "ok" and sometimes infuse it into my music, so something like this would be right up my alley....

He's being realistic because its true.
