I won't stand any "CUHNTVERTERS !!1!!" war drama anymore. I have seen enough people buying t-shirts with that word printed on them.
Also modular features ? Like adding and removing tracks ?

13 minutes of talking head... because akai dropped prices ? some yt creators a.d. 2025 are worse than a regular tv channel bs.

One can create complete music with modern (and already released) mpc, one of my homies tracked complete rnb song on his live1 - track by track using only live1 and mic preamp, all mixed inside in the box - for example - and it sounded really good.
80% of dudes crying for more ram/cpu/storage/plugins etc are not using theirs tools to max, why You want more? just to showoff on reedit to other gear wankers ?

New mpc will not be a gamechanger, maybe it will be an little evolution to the akai/inmusic line of products.

If it will be me to decide about new mpc i will make it smaller remake of 2000xl/2500 - with smaller oled screen like on 404mk2, simple os with basic functionality with modern storage functions - and release it as boutique product but i doubt the retail success of this idea.

That’s something I would look into.

As to the leak: “How are the tariffs going to affect this?” and “Please don’t be red!”

Well, it's true that what we have can be enough to make our music, but a new MPC with more Ram would allow more complex plugins, that's it.
It was good to have 4gb Ram computers back in the days, but now with 32gb Ram computers we can use better sounding eqs and comps, for example.
I am still not sure if Ram has to do with the power of effects, or is it just cpu?
I think more Ram helps anyway.
So, that's the only point about a new Mpc.
If it has more Ram, it's a good step forward.
If it has bells and whistles and crossfades and internal shitty speakers, it's just stuff for jugglers.

Ok, but come on, bro said "modular tracks" :WTF:
I don't know what worse him or his comment section :hmmm: :lol:
All this over a price drop during income tax return season here in the US. They just dropped the Key 37 at the end of 2023 & Force is going be updated & MPC3 is still in beta if we're being real. I don't see Akai making a new gen this year, maybe 2027 to give this gen a decade run & done... But nobody knows the way of the Mysterious Red Ninja?

FCC listing combined with price drop; along with 3.0 coming out of beta, is the perfect time for the next gen MPC's.

Also the fact that Live 2 is 5 years old; and the X is bout 8 years old; these are confluence of factors that has MPC fans excited and speculating regarding the potential features of the next gen MPC's.

A new MPC may come out before a new gen is what I was saying. Maybe a new Live with more RAM or new model completely, but still part of the current gen. If it don't have a clip-matrix & a crossfader I don't really care, tho it's still fun to spectate... but that video was comical. :lol:
