Treated myself to an early birthday present - a brand new MPC Live II! Things have come a long way since I got my MPC1000 in the mid-2000s...
Just having a screen that size really takes some getting used to - I'm not used to the visual side being such a factor when operating the equipment. The ability to run on batteries is pretty excellent, as is having some inbuilt speakers. I think you can somehow transfer files onto it over wi-fi too, which will be very handy!
@airadam Nice one. I got my self the cheap Studio as a way to dip my toe in the MPC world, but eventually I'd like to get one of the standalones, most likely an MPC One would do for me.
Oh, and happy Birthday!
@Weru Thank you! :) Was going to wait and order it to arrive on the day, but I was seeing good deals and didn't want to miss out!
MPC One looks great too, a lot of the OS is basically the same I believe. Might even be able to score a decent second-hand purchase if you fancy going that route!
