i care because as a consumer i want the best product.
akai lived off the fact they owned the mpc name. roger linn is the genius behind it.
the main difference is that it seems the sequencer will be all internal a la the sp1200...so be it. if it has a full fledged sequencer (i.e. can sequence outside sources) all the better.
i know these two gentlemen were behind 2 of the 3 holy grail hip hop machines (440/mpc) and i have faith.
faith that he'll have banks!!! and other mpc like features.
of course he cant call it an mpc.
roland/ensoniq werent up to pushing akai with the asr-x/mv series joints (imho).
roger linn and dave smith will.
for a thousand dollars (not 3,500 for a piece of crap akai wont even support)
