Completely new MPC user here.

Well, i mean, I used to see all pattern buttons at the same time while using Octatrack(1-16, just press and you at your pattern). And I want that interface in MPC too(sort of it). I think I should buy Pro Pack.

Get it. It's the direction Akai's been going since 2019. You don't lose working with seqs. It make it better because now you'll have 8 seqs & 8 track-with 8 clips on the screen at once allowing you switch between clips on different seqs/rows while recording to the Arranger.

I should buy the MPC Keys MKII(whatever) when they'll be released. Actually, I'm still planning to upgrade RAM on my current MPC keys(RAM chips already ordered).

I don't know if they're going to a new keys, I bet they, but who know when?... I'm waiting for the new X/Force.

The RAM upgrade is the best power boost thing you can do currently to the gen1 boxes. Will you do it yourself?

Sure. My main job is hardware engineering and reverse hardware engineering.

Cool. There's a dude on YT that does it & sells his skills if you're willing to send him your MPC/Force.

Yes

No need to send. I do such job almost every day.
