Great video Bolo, yeah I would've thought a multi-timbral mode and local on/off would be standard for a portable board like this, even my older (at this point) yamaha mx 49 has this with     See More midi over usb (2.0) and that board is 10+ years old. Maybe Arturia doesn't wanna steer users too far in the hardware direction at the expenae of investing in their VSTs, just speculation.    See Less

Hmmmm....This setup? Or $2700 for the Roland TR-1000? Forget all of the awesome sounds you get with this combination. You can't even play drum pads, or keys, with the TR-1000.

B     See More twist a lot of knobs on the TR-1000 for live performance. lol    See Less

I JUST got this combo and it’s really sounds unlimited but th mini keys do not allow for good improversation so I got a roli piano (which will take forever to get here) that said great cho     See More     See Less

What if you want to use the pads on the mpc to play the astro lab sounds? I’ve been kinda fighting with this. I hit record. I play the pads with sound. I see midi data. I play it back and     See More no audio.    See Less

Bolo how you feel about the MPC Live 3 and an M-Audio 47 keyboard? That’s gonna be my setup once my MPC Live 3 comes in.     See Less

This Arturia standalone device is pretty limited in polyphony and voicing though. Be prepared to not getting the classic sounds out of it that you were hoping for, especially because its sto     See More are limited. Investing in Arturia's V Collection instead is the superior option IMO. I would rather take a laptop to go with my MPC with me over a hardware synth anytime when travelling.    See Less
