    I want one also but I like the way the MPC ONE kept its tradition button layout like the MPC STUDIO; but that’s a minor issue really. After seeing AveMcree demonstrations on the LIVE II; that’s what matters in reality. It has a convenient looking workflow. What do think about the MPC KEY 61 sense you just purchased the LIVE II not to long ago?

    @@RaystudiosProduction I got the Akai force and the MPC live 2. And I will say, no matter which MPC you get from the new line up, you will be extremely satisfied. If you don't plan on traveling much with it, and the midi keyboard you have isn't anything special. Get the keys. But if you already have a midi controller and you want something more portable. The MPC live 2 is the way to go. If you get the keys, it comes with a 6 plug-ins that you would need to purchase separately if you buy any of the other mpc’s. At the end, they are all amazing. Just a matter of what your price range and personal preference is.
