ahhh... Didn't thought of it.
It will be pageable (left right up down) same as Ableton screen or Ableton itself when 16 pads controller connected

EDIT:
@ultros yeah, completely forgot of backward compatibility :lol:

Bro they could have made the MPC a 4*4 force machine by switching a few vars on load time, but instead they made that pos beta lol...

inMusic could have saved a year worth of sallaries by designing a 4*4 force box calling it MPC and selling it. it didnt have to be all this, like i kinda wonder WTF their product / project manager(s) are doing. what is the direction? mpc2, force, and mpc3, are all out of step with one another.

Well if you follow Pete on Twitter/Threads, past couple of months he was... travelling Europe and enjoying his life :lol:
not bad of a deal :lol:

@jpeg I think it's for performance/playability, push3 has significantly "shorter" pads over P2 as well. On the other hand, this image look like it's not assembled properly, you can notice that on other images as well where CV don't align with chassis at all

No, you need to reduce the matrix size to 4*4... lol that is all literally detect device, go "ah mpc great, well set the happy little matrix array to 4*4 by default."

You didn't see the new pics with each pad now has 4 sensors? That 64 tiny pads. Yeah, they forced a Force onto the MPC. :lol: https://www.elektronauts.com/t/mpc-thre ... 19118/6683

Really bummed they don't have a separate volume control for headphones. Fingers crossed they make this happen in software, assuming the hardware allows for it. Also really hoping they have direct monitoring similar to the X and not like the previous Live I & II.

they thought they going to extend it. FCC servers are automatic, those documents were always there just not accessible. Most probably they applied to extend confidentiality too late and fcc servers didn't update in time despite the date change yesterday. That's why it says you have to apply for extension 7 days prior and you can do it 3 times only for maximum of 180 days.

EDIT:

Notes:
1) A document or type of document can only have ONE type of confidentiality!
2) Short-Term confidentiality is in principle for 45 days from date of grant; it can be extended max 3 times (total time 180 days max.)!
The planned date should state in the RF731 application form.
3) FCC must be informed when marketing begins earlier.
4) Release takes place automatically thus extension must be requested in time. Telefication does not remind you of this!
5) Request for extension or for release must be received by Kiwa NL B.V. at least 7 days before date of actual marketing or before
expiration of the STC period

Agree 100% but placed better (or better yet, allow us to hook up a APC64 so we can a proper Force matrix. Akai's marketing team in case you don't understand, putting it in plain English, allowing APC64 and other Akai equipment to integrate with the MPC seamlessly, will provide more sales to Akai. That means more money. Which means you keep your job longer. Sometimes it seems Akai needs thing spelled out for them :) ) Also needs Q-Links w/ OLED's. But we'll take what we get.
