But this may to nerdy cuz The greats from the 90s didn't have that. Get the he'll outta here!

the legends made better beats with less; so more pads is not the defining factor; great they added the mixer and arranger but they have made other changes that were not required, everything should be open for critique

and my question is why do u need a force/mpc hybrid if u already have the force?

And my question to you is: why even ask? You already know the answer: a hybrid device would be the best of both worlds. I mean, I get that you aren’t capable of seeing the possibility, but stop trying to shut down other people’s ideas.

4 banks of 16 is sufficient for most scenarios; again more chops does not equal better music, if u cant get it done with 16 pads over 4 banks u lacking in something, so having 99 pads wont save u

Please leave me alone.

Y'all know there is a foe list right?

To derail the thread sweetwater removed the Force New Instock page and only currently has B stock listings.

Guitar Center shows limited new stock….

Beginning of the end or nothing at all ?

It's not that deep.

Ok ok, just pointing out.

I think the Force did it's job as the unofficial beta product. Now MPC3 is on 3.4 & the Force is on 3.3 they abandoned it. Maybe they will keep it going with a mk2. It's not like they need to make as many like the MPC One. But I do think that now with MPC3 more MPC users would buy a new Force if it came out a year from now.

I already see more MPC3 users asking for more Force features. The arranger on the MPC is cool but the clip-matrix on the Force makes way better. More are asking for Force style clips more LFOs. 64 pads with MPE would be dope.

It cool man. Some people's poor comprehension will make you feel that way. You present an idea, someone small minded dude misses your point & counters with a some BS theory, so you make it more simple & they bring how greats from the pass didn't do that as if I'm trying to make music like them.

I love the 90s, but **** the 90s. I make my music & most of them would most likely used a MPC with 32 or 64 pads if one was around back then so there's that.

It's almost like there's more than one reason to make new things.

For example... there's plenty of new music that I'm not into, but it allows my daughter to get the full experience of listening to the same ten songs on repeat to drive her parents mad, just like I did as a kid

please detail what aspects of both devices u would want to see in a hybrid?

Cos at the moment it seems u and ur ilk just want and MPC X with 64 pads, if thats the case simply get a force is my point.

What would u miss from the X thats not on the Force with regard to hardware?

Or is it that u also want the Q links from the X along with the the Force 64 pads?

In which case the X/Force hybrid would have a massive device to facilitate both 64 pads and 16 qlinks.

Just. STOP. No one - and certainly not me - needs to explain to you once again why we want the hardware to evolve. You just keep on living in your little box where 16 pads is all you need. Stay in your lane. OK?

Just like I thought; u have no thought process behind the features u want in a hybrid X and Force

so just get urself a Force and STFU

Alternatively flesh out what this hybrid would look like?

Cos imo those mini white rubber pads on Push, Force, APC, etc are trash, far as how they look.

That overly bright LED back lit pads makes a device look toyish;

so if they did do a hybrid on a maachine the size of the X; they would have to reduce to pad size to perhaps the MPC One pad size, so maybe they could get an extra row of pads say 20 pads or 24 pads.

Completely unhinged
