This was from the listing on Reverb.

    4.1kg (720g heavier than the Mk 2)
    7" touchscreen
    According to someone who ran it through AI, it says it's a tilted screen
    And we know from the FCC line drawing that the dimensions are similar to the Mk 2.

720g is quite a lot, so possibly multiple new hardware features, such as bigger battery, more Qlinks, more I/O. etc.


Whatever they added better worth the extra weight because the Live is supposed to be mobile. New battery, speaker & hopefully a crossfader be could why...

A Tilt Screen would be EPIC!!! Just a 45degree tilt.

Hopefully HDMI Support

Pitch/Modulation Strip Like the Maschine.

And enough CPU to make Stems and Warping Quality Blossom!

I'll Cop It Immediately

Could have bought the X with more links and buttons with left shift commands

Definitely needs something significant like that to be worth the price increase.

Needs useful physical buttons on the front panel , Live II was better than the Live I in that regard.

My selfish request is more ram than X SE and Key 61 and a faster processor.

USB B MIDI out in standalone mode like the Key 37

More power hardware to support more audio tracks to 16.

USB c support with USB C audio sampling like the 404mk2

Predictions:
4-6 gigs ram
updated chipset
hinged screen
OS3 specific HW shortcut buttons

And maybe:
A couple of touchstrips
led screens for each qlink (Now that's a feature i want to finally see)
more CV outs

It will kinda look like a APC64 with 16pads and screen

Switch one of those touchstrips for a crossfader.
