Akai ProfessionalMPC X SE - Standalone Production Workstation and Beat Maker with 10.1" Multi-Touch Screen, Drum Pads, Synth Engines, 48GB Storage, and Native Instruments Integration

The device came in on time but in the pack was some of the Q-link cover detached (see image). My guess is that happened during shipment, maybe handling, but I’ll advise a harder glue be used to hold it from factory (i had to attach it back).My Con:Also, when i wanted to insert the hard drive i noticed its a direct access to the motherboard, compared to MPC live2 which ensures the motherboard is well protected. If you drop a screw or misdirect a cable you might yank something off.My Pro:I love all the extra plug-in bundled. It makes buying it over the regular MPC-X worth it. Somehow the drum pads respond better compared to the live2, my opinion though. I’m a tactile fan, the fact that i got most of the second functions and menu functions already laid out on the buttons is a plus for me.Overall, Good device, and the wrist-rest makes for good comfort. Plus the retro look is beautiful as well.

Be honest not needed to get this model. It is superior to all. Mpc one and live 2 are same with software and basic functions. The work flow is much better on X.

Great piece of equipment.I enjoy the Touch Screen and Computer Connectivity.A bit overpriced, considering there legacy models. However if your looking to create in a new dynamic join the team. Maybe keep your old MPC and check this one out too.
