I'm about to get in the game!!!!

I might jump on this... I'm going to wait up to 3 months though for the reviews because I got burnt with the 500. Support was beyond shytty and AKAI only got the OS right at the death of its existence.

This could still be a long term production solution despite some of the stripped features in comparison to the Live. I like the traditional look of the 90's-2000's MPC units and the One has dedicated buttons as well as touchscreen functionality. Add a external hard drive and headphones then you're good!

You don't need it, you're a gear collector :russ:

Unless you're a AKAI stan, I don't see a reason for you to have it. The Maschine you have is a machine that has already brought you into computer based workstations.

I would get the sounds and keep pushing!!!

Modern day classic!!! If I just bought a MPC Live or X, I'd be sick. Other than outputs, which can be worked around, this unit is the same as the higher priced samplers in the AKAI lineup. For me, the MPC One is the new 2000.

Native Instruments.... You on notice!!!! They need a standalone at this price point before holiday season.

NI is rumored to be working on that but I heard soooo many things I don't know what to believe. To keep it a buck the mk3 IS the center of my home studio that workflow and just how intuitive it is to move around the controller to personally is unbeatable. Hell you can pin screens :wow: . I want something portable to move around with right now it's between the live and the MPC one.

The live has Bluetooth/WiFi and I believe you can change the the hard drive on it .

The only thing I don't like about both is at times TO ME it's seems like they rely to HEAVY on the touch screen if you coming from mashcine mk3 were you can't touch the screens but the platforms buttons is butter smooth and the workflow is flawless ....man listen ...the only thing that trash is the arranger/song mode :francis:

Im get one cause I want to learn another platform BUT ....if I want to touch the screen that much I would just get an iPAD

Damn, I was hoping to snag one but now they’re on back order until June :damn:

I have a 2000(busted screen) Renaissance and Studio, but I’ve been looking at another stand-alone. Was thinking of gettin the Live.

I think the One is the way to go tho.

If you're happy with the mk3, then I'd sit on it. There's no need to get a another piece of hardware that has the same functions as a piece you already own. I personally have issues with "gear lust," but if you got it like that, then, by all means, buy it.

For a true MPC workflow experience for the low would be the MPC Studio. The only thing you'd be missing is outputs in comparison to the mk3. Buy used for the lowest price point possible. The Live is a good unit as well, but there will be a lot of "menu surfing" because unlike the other MPC's of old and new, it doesn't have a lot of dedicated button for functions, so there will be a lot of "menu scrolling" which can interrupt workflow; that may or may not be important to you. Like you were saying, the MPC Live has bluetooth, in addition to an internal battery and storage options, so that $1000 price tag may be justifiable to you. Also, for the dedicated function buttons that the MPC Live has, they have backlighting; the others below the Live model do not.

I just went to the Guitar Center in OKC and snatched mine up. They said that they had got them in 2 weeks ago. You may have to look long and hard, but some stores have them in stock. They got one more unit in stock.

Man, I know the 2000 is a classic piece of machinery, but it may be time to let go because gettting the parts to replace it now is hard as hell, especially screens. I can't speak on it now because I haven't even cracked open my box yet, but I'm sure if you cop the MPC One, you let go of the Studio, for sure. As far as the Ren goes... that's up in the air. I'd keep it for comparison, especially for the on board effects. If the MPC One meets or exceeds expectations, then sell it off too!

I can understand that... it has its functionality. Having said that, I cannot see myself riding in a car for 10 hours anymore. Lol
