Remo Cammilletti: Macchina favolosa per produzioni …ottima per qualsiasi genere , se non si è abituati al mondo mpc e al suo metodo di lavoro va studiata bene…ma una volta imparata darà soddisfazioni assicurate…casse interne molto buone con bassi molto presenti …batteria integrata buona …unica nota va acquistata subito una memoria esterna perché quella interna è molto poca e facile da riempire…quindi meglio prendere subito un ssd per aumentare la memoria…per il resto macchina favolosa straconsigliata!!!!

pc42: My first MPC. I've only used software DAWs in the past. I wanted an MPC to add to my keyboard rig to trigger samples for live shows, but also to use as a groove box for practicing at home. I had no idea how much you can do with one of these things until I started digging in. I only gave four stars to "easy to use" because it is definitely a different workflow than ProTools or another DAW, but after a couple days of reading the manual and watching YT vids, I have it figured out. Fantastic audio quality, and so much flexibility for routing, etc.

Antoine L. Adams: I purchased the LIVE 2 in December as a holiday gift for myself. It's actually my first AKAI product, because i own many Roland machines, as well as Ensoniq ASR's, and numerous drum machines. The LIVE 2 is AWESOME. I obviously had to watch a couple of vids to get the basics down, but after that, everything was simple. I can do pretty anything i want with this machine, ANYTHING!

mk: I decided to take a chance and buy this machine used for around $400 less than it was new. I was a bit worried it would come all jacked up with ketchup stains and scratches all up and down the machine. However when it arrived and i was able to unbox it, i was shocked at the quality and overall care the machine had seen. It looks literally brand new other than some minor scratching on the main scroll wheel but thats a hard nitpick and you would have to go looking for that. Overall i am completely blasted away that i got a machine so nice for the price i payed. I wouldnt have any issue ordering another used machine at all from Amazon directly. The quality it unreal, it plays perfectly and everything works as it should. As far as the sampler itself, just wow. It does everything, its a stand alone studio in a box. No need for a pc or any other recording gear, this thing can act as the mixer, the mastering daw, the midi controller, you name it, it can do it. It has direct link up cv gates for modular gear i mean its the works. Its also fully expandable , there is a hard drive bay on the back on the machine. This thing is wild.

Philip: This device does everything. It can be a portable DAW that can control and record your entire studio, or it can do it all itself. It has full song making capabilities where you can create midi sequences or audio loops and that can be saved as songs. You can create entire drum kits for the pads (or use the hundreds already included for free!) and make your own beats and sample your old records or songs from an ipod through it's inputs. You can fill it full of your own samples if you want, and even warp them into stepped synths or slow and time warp them. It recognizes every MIDI USB device I plug into it instantly AND it can power those MIDI USB devices from its own powered USB ports. Even when it's running on it's own batteries! No joke, you can chain as many USB powered devices and you want on this thing and the battery will power them all (At the cost of runtime!). Got a keystep? Plug it into the USB and it just works.

The speakers are actually really nice and the battery life is about 6 hours on the dot. The overall feel is it's quite heavy and solid. It's all metal and it shows. The touch screen is actually very cool and you can do most everything via button combos as...
