SSD storage is relatively cheap as is RAM and processors, for example u can but a cheap bullshit phone for less than £300 and it will have an octa-core processor and 8 GB RAM, so if these phone manufactures have access to good spec processors, RAM and storage for relatively cheap than not sure why it cost Akai so much to put those same specs into an MPC

Just because they live in the matrix doesn't mean we all live in the matrix.

It's only america and inside of america that has the whole slavery crap looming over them... That has nothing to do with any of us outside of the USA and those of us not from USA are tired of being lumped into the honkey category because of what some loser ages ago did in some country we never lived in.

Americans are very narrow minded individuals. Narrow minded or narrow-scoped which ever works. They don't know the rest of the world doesn't perpetuate or participate in their crap.

It's only americans who will double down on and defend their racist views calling others trolls for trying to tell people they are worth more than they value themselves.

You are all valuable people, regardless of what geneological background you stem from. Adversity inspires success. If you tell me I cant, I will show you I can.

Literally nobody from outside of america has ever been racist to me for being white and making the music genres i make its ONLY americans who do it. If i start singing a dancehall song to jamaicans they dont go "AY AY AY wa gwan wid de bloot clot cultural appropriation?!" No no what happens is they start jamming and smile that i know their fave tunes.. You know why? because jamaicans arent racist assholes. Only USA and they are becomming more embedded in their divisive hatrid. They cant see their own delusions so it must be everybodies reality.

And now me and KJA are probably assholes of the forums for pointing it out. But we dont live by those rules or that logic and you cant convince us its right.

I hope the right people see this post so they know what kinda person I am. Not some snake in the grass.

On to the mpc, is there a way to run the mpc software without the goofy ilok crud?

I've maxed out the RAM and I've added the 8-Output Analog Expansion Board - overall I've spent $3100. Was it worth it? Yes! I plan on getting the ADAT Expansion also because, at this point...i might as well.

P.S. I don't recommend you buying one of these machines used. It's bad enough that people don't know how to use them and you'd never know what's wrong with yours, if you ever got a damaged machine from one of those people. Buy one new, you'd be able to return it if there was damage done to it on its way to your house. That's just my opinion.

Damn!
Anyone complaining needs to STFU!
Or wait to get it used after the hype dies down ... or steal it, if they're gangsta like that (that brings back memories from that time).
