After the mess that was Machine Minus, No thanks.

#105

Yes, already available on the Mpc store. I’m in love with the opx4

#106

You will not like it. This is the same Mpc engine you didn’t like before with a keyboard built in. Trust me. If you didn’t like the Mpc before, you won’t now.
I’m not a hater, huge Mpc fan here, but this won’t change your mind.

Gently seconded. Lack of clip-based workflow is also going to be a huge hurdle for you, given how much you like the BlackBox/Ableton approach (and which is why I love Ableton).

Edit: The Force, on the other hand… :laughing:

Else, new posts in a few more weeks again.

You’ll be paying £1700 for a Frankenstein’s monster of a device with too few hands-on controls and then plugging your equally enormous Prophet into it to get the sound you want, all the time looking wistfully at the Blackbox across the room and thinking about how it’s 1/100th of the size and you still prefer its touchscreen.

If you buy it, you wont make posts after posts about if you should buy it.

That means traffic of this website will go down and so will the monies.

People will lose their jobs and kids will starve.

DO YOU WANT THAT?!

Sort of reminds me of the digitone keys as an idea. Didnt really take off as a concept.

#115

Holy shit!

OP4 slaps! Did you get it for free? (as you seem to have it earlier)

#116

I’ll be getting this as a second midi keyboard for my Force along with my Digitone Keys.

#117

Just returned an MPC X as it’s just too darn big…loved it but too large.

Just ordered this as I don’t like modules, even MPC’s, but love the MPC sequencer…so this and a hydrasynth…and I"m, uh, done for awhile!

#118

Whoa. You guys really talked me out of it :slightly_smiling_face:

So the keys comes with the same exact plugins as the live/one/x and the new plug-ins need to be purchased separately?

#122

No, Keys comes with the plugs.

So, if you already have an MPC (One/Live/X) and buy the Keys too, do you get to install the plugins to your old MPC too? That’s a question I’d like to know the answer for. I’m already tempted by the keys, but if buying it meant that I’d get new synths for my Live II too, it’d sweeten the deal even further.
