With all its limitations, I turn to my OP-1 for everything now, simply because I turn it on and go. Then there's other irritations like no line-out monitoring when using an iOS friendly audio interface (depending on the app, naturally). 3rd party controllers and iPad apps have been More cumbersome than useful, and by the time I get the configurations lined up w/ a controller and the CCK, my inspiration is often halved. I've never rocked as organic and varied drums on an iPad, regardless of app, as I have on an MPC.

Hmmm, good info.I guess it runs with Mac or PC.any iOS support for it ? With the recent price drop to $599 for a new MPC Touch and the official announcement of the shiney new models the "old" MPC Touch can be bought on Ebay for less than $500.

If money were no object then I'd have both my iPad and an Akai and use both at different times.Variety is the Spice and all thatĪlternatively, the MPC Touch will have 90% of the capabilities of the new MPCs since the 2.0 update will be given to Touch users at no charge. IOS still wins from the "throw it in your pocket and use it anywhere" point of view though I guess only time will tell if it fully delivers on its promises. If you are making money from your music then this thing would pay for itself in no time just in setup time saving alone.and that is where its value would come from, you would be saving time each time you used it. I have just read this thread with great interest.I cannot afford either of the Akai units, so am firmly entrenched in the iOS world, but its promised capabilities do look impressive, and to have all of that in one place with no need for any messing about.Yes Please. I used to work in that team, it was indeed small. It is a tough market and I would like to see them do well.

Their staff at the time consisted of a couple of project managers, 5 software engineers and 1 hardware engineer. Dan Gill remarked at a recent NAMM that Akai was the "biggest little" company in the world. Since they moved into the software arena it seems as if they have not invested in the necessary software development resources to keep up.

The new hardware MPCs are based off the software, so they'll be updated for years to come. MPC 5000 users are still waiting for bug fixes that Akai promised over 3 years ago.Īkai has focused all their efforts on the software line, and has continuously updated the software.

Akai has been notoriously bad at maintaining even their flagship products. Just to play Devil's Advocate, lifespan of recent MPC products has not been their strong suit.

how may iPad pros will I go thru during the lifespan of the mpcX? How many audio interfaces will I invest in and f^(I< around with instead of making music during that time? Yeah, I'm beginning to think I can justify it.
