It’s a known issue among other users and there is a fix for it. It produces an error message when I try to do so. It also at some point around a year stopped letting me save anything to the internal drive. I’ve had my mpc live since available in June 2017. Well worth the money if you want to be up and running in no time.īuild quality on both my machines is excellent. But I've also bought the MPC Live Bible, that helped a lot in getting my head around it. The X and Live have been solid and user friendly. Also, when I lent it to a friend who needed it for a live performance it malfunctioned during that set. I've had an MPC-500 for some time, but programming on the two line display was a bit too tedious for me. I've tried the Octatrack and that was too complex for me and had limitations in the arrangement area that required workarounds from the start. I went the MPC route because I was looking for a suitable replacement for my RS7000. The X has become a central "hub" between my modular cases and the Live is for entertainment on the couch in the livingroom and rehearsals (and backup for the Live we use with our Depeche Mode tribute band where it is the machine everything depends upon). I must say that I'm very much impressed with these machines. I have an X since December and bought an extra Live in March. If anybody who has owned one for more than a few weeks can share their experiences with this machine, I'd really appreciate it.
I just don't trust the company these days, and if you look on the guitar center website, you'll see a s**t-ton of used Lives for sale - never a good sign. Frankly, the current incarnation of Akai has a terrible reputation, which is the main thing making me hesitate to buy one of these. My main concern is general reliability and stability.
I was totally confused by the UI, but that's mainly because I didn't feel like figuring out in a store where I only had a few minutes to kill. So, I've been looking at the Live and played one in the store this weekend. I have an MPC500, which I actually love, save for the fact that it has a noisy output which basically renders it unusable for recording stuff. Also looking to get something that's portable, so the Live's ability to run on batteries is a real positive for me. I have tried buying some used older MPCs, but all of them have had problems and have had to be returned. I'm really thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these.
