When I preordered the Akai MPC Live, just before release, I was super excited. Quite disappointed afterwards, when found Live meant absolutely nothing more then marketing. The question was, when was Ableton going to release a standalone version? Used to spend a lot of energy on Akai community forum and always felt that the community was toxic, even though I was an early supporter of Akai MPC, during premium Japan (2000, 2000xl, s2000, 2500) before it being bought by inmusic or whatever it’s called. I jumped to the Deluge, sold first purchase and bought again after they announced live looping but end up selling again. End up selling the MPC Live too, it was a dust collector, a big chunky pointless machine, very toxic community.
At the time there were rumours about a Push Standalone and even evidence. We had to wait until 2023 and a new chapter begins that makes the MPC pointless.
