    • Would be pretty perfect if... ui set as 100% black/white monochrome, all the colors for pads/buttons white/red only, text/logos dark grey... darth vader it out!prophetone
    • $700 usd / $900 cadprophetone
    • impressive kit and price but i'd spend all day bent over that screen and wonder why i hadn't just used a laptop...kingsteven
    • not to be hater, but why? gimme abledroid any dayautoflavour
    • Time to retire the 1000futurefood
    • well it’s a stand-alone unit which people have wanted, and a button-based interface of early mpcs but with modern approachprophetone
    • for me the stand-alone aspect with this form factor makes sense... it’s the mpc2000 of the future and i really like itprophetone
    • that being said if I’m being 100% honest here, for $900 I’d be looking at an mpc60 insteadprophetone
    • that’s just me, but for many beat heads this is also just the ticket for live beat battles or performances, is stable, flexibleprophetone
    • same, loving my wee model:samples for the limitations... i think of the old MPCs as instruments, this is a hardware DAWkingsteven
    • I'd wait for long term reviews of this thing. Outside of my s900, Akai has been the most unreliable brand for me.section_014
    • where you gonna get an mpc60 for $900?! :P I agree that this is a good stable box esp for beat makers, finger drummers etc to take on the go without laptop etc.microkorg
    • could even make your beats on a computer and port them onto here for 'live' performance muting groups and fingerdrumming sometimes.microkorg
    • bought mine a few years back for $450 on eBy - and in past several months a few have sold for $600-800 ish... just gotta be on the lookoutprophetone
    • ....MPC60's that isprophetone
    • But agreed getting an MPC60 in excellent shape on eBay for under $1k now is rare... it's iconic now so price is getting ridiculous, like the SP pricesprophetone
    • fairplay to akai for creating all the tutorial videos for beats academy for the ONE.microkorg
