Who doubted 3.0 was ever coming out? I think its pretty **** obvious at some point it would.

What we doubted was you spouting off every 2 months for the last however many years "ITS COMING ITS COMING AND SO IS THE MPC MINI".

Get over it already.

now i gotta say the interface on the new home scren looked better in the akai vid then it looks in this vid

also i think the old xyfx screen looked better.

and i see they have got rid of programs; i aint sure bout that idea, maybe some of the change was a bit radical, but think th eblack background is prefferable to the grey, and the mixer and arranger was the main things we wanted.

So, arranger - but it is actually just an overview of the sequence's tracks... No scenes: a track still can only exist in a single sequence.

OMG locators! Macros!

Arranger! slice motion! 8 layers per drum pad!

MPC-Tutor's vacations are over! Get back to work!

It was not at all obvious that Akai would invest another round in their mature platform. A new platform was a dangerous possibility. I'm glad Akai keeps improving our existing hardware !

I'm guessing clips got dropped in favor of recording to them to the arranger. Not sure that's for the best though. Somebody would probably need to load up a project that used clips to see how they import over.

EDIT: Looks like Clips are unsupported and "loaded as drum tracks"

Did they fix the DAMN MIDI BUG!!!!

Woooohoooo - audio tracks in track mute, at laaaaast !

... But the new mute behaviour that cuts the audio immediately instead of just not playing any further note sucks badly for long notes.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

This is not good. Do they still trigger in a quantized fashion or not?

Submix/Return/Master fx & Tempo automation though...

nope u doubted and got proven wrong; eat humble pie and bow

Quite the move to drastically change the UI and the basic structure like that. But this looks really good, from what I can see it’s a better environment to work with all the extra features we got last decade and we will get in the next couple of years.
