the mastering suite on the mv is tweakable. i've never used one but i was at a sam ash where a roland rep was demo'ing the mv

it's going to be a bigger than the 1k but smaller than the 2k/xl
this is the size of the 1k:
H x W x D: 4.17” x 15.945” x 8.985”
this is the size of the 2500:
H x W x D: 3.68" x 16.33"x 13.10''

As long as it has the GRID EDIT mode. It can really be the center piece of a studio.
On my mpc1k there is really no possible to do any elaborate edit fast and convenient.
I don't produce hip-hop. but breakbeat/dnb mostly, sometimes it is hard do the messed-up beats in realtime @ 170BPM. That's why the GRID is important to me.
by the way, mpc sounds PHAT,and it is far more stable than a computer, that's why I like to use it.
Oh well. chopper will be extremely useful too. And so as something like LFO/Harddisk....
========
Anyones knows that the GRID works with pads numbers only or there will be another mode that uses midi notes (like pianorolls in softwares)?
I do hope that it is just according to pad numbers, and pads' midi notes controlled by programs as old mpcs.
I really don't want to mess my brain with these kind of meaningless 2 modes.

I see a lot of people commenting on how nice it looks. 
For real, I think it's the ugliest MPC out there.

I like the color too. But I think it looks really archaic.

judging from the pic, the jog wheel is exactly the same as the 2kxl which would make it cheap plastic
