I believe an synth is useful but a good one. Fantom is not my favourite at all… Nord synth or Stage are the ones. Super and immediate easy to use. I did try the fantom solution… Piano so     See More ot good    See Less

Pisses me off that I was about a month away from getting the MPC X SE then they discontinued it without a follow up replacement. Shame on you Akai!     See Less

This is real truth. Plus the more time you spend trying to work new gear in you could’ve made 5,10, 15,20 tracks. I’m working with my keys 37 a lot more, but my native instruments is do     See More ing I’ve needed it to do. But I’m not giving up on my MPC.    See Less

Thanks for pointing out the the advantage to scroll through sounds. Coming from the triton in the early 2000’s I finally got a Mpc and I been a learning curve using the sounds in my key 3     See More     See Less

I have the Fabric xl and Jura on my MPC One Plus. I feel like I don't need anything else. But, I just had to get that Fantom 06 after watching Bolo have so much fun with his synthesize     See More them together feels nearly as good as any daw on my computer.

Now, if I could just access Output Arcade directly....Oops 🤫😅    See Less

How do I get more RAM 🐏 in my MPC SE? 🤷🏾‍♂️     See Less

I can't wait to pair my Fantom 07 with an MPC One Plus. Love having a completely dawless option that isn't too much of a hassle to travel/setup     See Less

It's been long enough to know that InMusic / Akai are definitely dropping new gear. I'd expect a new Live since it's the portable solution they want to push.

I'd guara     See More a new flagship will drop afterwards since the X and X SE have to be updated to control the 3.0 changes.

I'd expect a new Key 37 somewhere down the line before another Key 61.

The rollout of 3.0 and the drastic Akai Force workflow changes dictate that new gear is to come.

The Akai Force might not need a refresh if a new MPC X II handles the software needs.

Let's see, but the writing is on the wall for a new Live III (FCC site shows this one as ACVG), MPC X, and Key 37 XL....    See Less

I run a Mpc one plus with roland se02 and roland w30
