Agreed, the design language is a bit off...
Florian Pilz
Absolutely agree!

Akai really need to let us plug in a USB mouse! Editing sequences, slicing and adding automation to audio clips etc is the most fiddly part of the workflow

AKAI is probably doing the right thing with their UI and big screens, almost everyone else seems to be stuck in LCDs from the 80s. The case however gives me something of a 3D printed vibe!

OH GOD, not only is it ugly but it picks up fluff, dandruff and fingerprints like it was dipped in honey!

Adding a TR style sequencer to it was evil and just might convince me...
Florian Pilz
It’s THE BEST for exactly that;)

Damn, I want one and I don’t even like MPCs😹😹😹

Damn. Been hoping you'd do the Force for so long but this is a close second at this point given how much they took from Force and added to it. But I do have to admit I do want one.

Nice work, Herr Pilz. A very impressive machine, and a good value for what it is, but I have a hard time imagining it being very friendly for free-form dark ambient.
Florian Pilz
That one is just too powerful

I think this is the first time I've watched an episode and it's made me want the product in question more... but I'll carry on with my MPC One seeing as I couldn't remotely justify the purchase being, as I am, hopeless :)
