oh that sucks man hopefully things get better in the future. Though it’s much more likely our prices will creep up to match if anything
@orion I didn’t realise the screen was on a back plate like that. Someone modded the force with a tilt screen which is quite cool. I guess it would be pretty easy in the live too if someone braved it
Too true, I used to have an 8-output expander that I would swap between an 2KXL and an S2000, and I was forever moving RAM sticks around. Also a SCSI > IDE adapter that I transferred between an S5000 and a Yamaha A4000 more times than I care to recall.
I’m not going to claim it was more convenient than popping an SD card in and out, but whipping out a screwdriver and poking around the innards of a sampler was all part of the job and part of the fun.
Putting an SSD into my Force was, sadly, not as much fun.
I definitely got The Vault with my MPC One - just double-checked and it’s under Essential Sound Libraries in the downloads list on my account. As I recall using it involved installing it to the MPC software, after which I was able to open the containing folder and copy stuff to my SD card - it was a while ago, but I remember it being a bit less long-winded than the official export route.
Does anyone thing bluetooth audio is likely to be implemented on Live 2 at any stage?
I assume there would be latency, but seems like a natural extension of the ‘no wires’ thing that the Live 2 is so good at. It would be pretty great to sit and bash out beats straight to bluetooth earbuds.
Well, I finally got my very first MPC! It really does too much and it looks like there is going to be a pretty steep learning curve, but I am excited :-). Anyone have any tutorial recommendations? Reading the entire manual is like reading the entire manual for photoshop or something, don’t think it is the best way to learn it…
I agree, but I think they will announce the MPC keyboard version and they probably have this firmware specifically addressing some of the needs of that hardware, so they don’t want to reveal too much prior to that release. Just speculating.
