LMAO... so "fire the Product Manager because I don't have all the THINGS that I want" is what you meant to say?

If they had used modern A.I. based design instead of relying on humans, they could have just ordered an "incredibly cool hip-hop production mpc with maximal street credibility"

Honestly...I kinda Like it. If the Price Point is ok, I'll Probably add it to the Family. Nice Compact Keyboard, with the Cabinet Width of a Live. Shouldn't Be Too Expensive being as tho there's no External Speaker Amplifier System. It'll probably be the only Hardware with Stems embedded.

if its in red only its gonna be a hard sell for me. i think the color is ridiculous, but its pros/cons. 37 keys and pads would be perfect for me in the mpc environment as an all in one.

I was reading pages back and some people mentioned the Hdmi Out idea that the MV had that Akai just for some stupid reason wont implement, but honestly in this day in age, the machine has bluetooth. We should be able to bluetooth out the display to a smart tv or along those lines. It's a little strange they just couldnt do that, or the fact it seems they are not even trying. I sorta gave up on akai awhile ago. Like when the mpc61 came out, actually before that... anyways.... the tech is there and easy. I work with tech all day and night in Visual FX so really... this isnt that hard to add.. I know as of right now and where the bluetooth is located that this would not be added to current models but if they made some adjustments, they could get that up and running if they werent so worried about creating new mpc's instead of fixing-up/improving what the software had from the beginning(midi and such).

Oh and I will add, like buddy said above me, the red is f'n ugly asf. Don't do the solid primary color thing. This isnt sesame street.

The Bluetooth implementation in the MPC doesn't support video . In fact, Bluetooth video streaming is pretty rare - I can't think of anything on the market that does it at all, or does it well anyway. Bluetooth doesn't have the continuous bandwidth needed.

Can we make a new thread just for the things we hate about it?
Worse than middle school chicks...



I have to strongly disagree the color is hideous at best.. why 2 color option to large of a foot print.. also why put a skin on a brand new device.. they don't even sell a skin for the mpc key 61.. hard push for me...

it looks much better in different colours; i think she should of either put the pad bank buttons underneath pads so the pads line up with the screen.

or they could of put the buttons under the screen above the screen for the sam effect so the screen lines up with the pads
