Stylus seems popular here - they help though, to me, they feel like workarounds for the lack of note selection by some sort of modifier + data wheel/qlink.

Thanks, I'll get a cheap one and give it a try. Even as a workaround, it can be a good solution.

Ave Mcree said that as an Akai insider (his words, not mine), he can definitely confirm that there is no new MPC coming

I cant respect that dudes opinion cos his character is questionable; as are the majority of the (anything for clicks) influencer types.

I recall during the whole situation where EA-SKI was making a big fuss about his dislike of the converters in modern MPC's.

Ave started beefing with EA-SKI and was saying "EA-SKI was making black people look bad".

It was very odd behaviour; so when I see that type thought process; and character, that confirmed my pre-existing suspicions that Ave was a bullshit type dude, but to his credit he does have some dope beats, and obviously he has a big following, but as a person he seems shit.

I never fully liked Ave. One video he's cool, next video his on some BS. Had to move on from him after he shitting on Ben Jordan over the Key61 video review.

The funny part is that I will wager any amount of money that Ave is a member here at this forum, has been for some time, and lurks under a pseudo name to keep his identiy hidden from his YouTube channel persona. He's seen this thread (likely posted in it), yet still made that video.

There are a lot of dudes who try to check peoples "blackness". That's one of the things that makes a person look the worst. Gotta try n drag everybody else in cus they are scared to go at life and death alone.

well...
1. they've certified ACVG already and it seems that they dabbled with that "device" in the firmware already.
here is the switch case which, if you take it at face value is kind of meaningless as it's part of huge (300 long) switch statement from something that (by the look of other switch cases) looks like a desktop app, but given that it match exactly to what was certified already, it shows you that "something" is in the works.



here's more on the certification process that should clarify some stuff a bit. Altough it's not a step by step template of how it should be done, it clearly explains why certification should be done as a last step. If you don't have a whole 8 minutes for some "bullshit video" the just skip to 7:00 and watch for 20 seconds


2. New 3.5 force firmware carry an updated (relative to mpc 3.4) parts of GUI/TUI for CV Pages, those pages are set to work with a device that does have 16 hardware CV OUTS! There's no such device in the current lineup and if there's no new devices coming at some point, why did they bothered to update it to facilitate 16 outs ? especially that this additional CV mode is still disabled ?


3. This one is a stretch but here it is… In the directory with GFX content for the standalone and for the desktop app there's a directory called "USB Input Selection" which contain an icon called… usbaudio.png. Now… You might say that it have something to do with external interfaces or desktop app etc. but as I mentioned at the beginning if you stretch it enough, you might be able to see a controller or device that have 16cv outs with usb audio or at least a device with 8x CV + 8x DC coupled outs and an USB audio similar to overbridge.

It's obviously all what we love the most - speculations lolol but I think that if there's a new device, the only thing that prevents akai from commitment to a release is unstable market and orange man bad despite of MPCs being made in Taiwan afaik.
I suppose that everything can be postponed to early next year but they will have to extend confidentiality on existing documents.

I've actually mentioned the same thing to him before, so I agree with you 100%

I remember that video. Ave was definitely on the BS

He definitely seems like the type of dude that would pull a stunt like that

Only time will tell

Dang. This thread still going strong.
Force 3.5 firmware is amazing FWIW. It's basically a Force / MPC hybrid now. No need for a new HW drop. Snaffle up a cheap second Force and step up.

My friends Dad, who works in the building next to Akai R&D office, said the new MPC Live III is just the friends we made along the way.

I bet he gets into a lot of bum fights, which narrows the scope

It's funny you mention this because I thought the same thing and have been trying to figure out who he is on here as well. I havent put my finger on his locale, usually I can deduce it by peoples accent.

So jpeg and Ultros ya'll are Black or Americans with heavy melanin count? I only ask because OUR sound is important to US. I'm from where Sugar Hill Records was born. Just Blaze IS Jersey. Redman was born. Where Eminem had to go get his style. Kanye had to move to Newark, New Jersey. Michael B Jordan has the HIT movie "Sinners" and the key to Brick City. We are champions of the MPC and SL1200s. New York sound was the Black American MPC 3000/60 Hip-Hop sound.

I'm also from ATL. We run popular RAP music now.


Funny the YT won't post my Guitar Center ATL alumni video now

Fixed

THIS GUY Andy Mac told a BOLD FACE LIE at 3:00 and we STILL have not got that Analog "Circuitry" from the vintage MPC to the MPCX SE and ya'll rarely clown the OTHER shills that had to make goofy MPCX SE "thumbnails" and sell BETA hardware so of course brothers will get to squabbling amongst one other.



This dude LIED and told us we have the MPC3000/60 sound if we press the button on our MPC Renaissance and I bet my whole bank he looking at ya'll whole page on Ave being called out as this goofy; fighting with his brother, but it's "crickets" or now even admiration for Andy and Akai snake oil and SE model sellers on YT because you identify with their genre of music? You don't think Andy reads....... Wait.... One of you IS an Akai insider so flush THAT out.
