Thing is they're looking directly down at the MPC at that point usually, i.e. if the screen is at an angle it's less visible.

just my personal opinion but it's just not as applicable as it is on the MPC X. :arrow:

Some would also like the pads angled the other way,
ie away from your body,

Cool for them, but in that case wouldn't it still be better to have the screen tilted?
If so, they would need the stand & the tilt screen.
