Here are my thoughts on it so far. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but that’s expected. There is no way to do Lofi or to degrade samples. You can’t bus a filter to a track. Overall it’s OK for the $300.

Ordered mine yesterday....waiting. No brainer for me. I had the op1 and miss it a lot but price is insane ...this one is actually shockingly affordable

Wonder if Akai will drop MPC 500 style MPC to go after the market for these smaller portable drum machines. It was a rumor around the time the X SE dropped. Waiting to see if that actually materializes.🤔

Yo I just think it’s nice to see something they put out that isn’t $2K. Might be the first TE gear I buy. Def waiting to scoop one up used in a few months tho

Good for people that thought the 404 SX was too basic, but the 404 MK2 is too bloated with features and button combos. It’s like having an MPC 2000XL that’s as thin as an iPad, lightweight, can be comfortably used in any setting, and has enough modern features to not make it a headache to use. As long as you’re willing to live with its limitations, you should enjoy it. Great for just making beats, not necessarily elaborate productions.

Looks cool and probably fun to mess around with, but at the end of the day waste of money. It won’t replace my SP or Maschine

It would be dope to see someone who does vibey sample based hip hop use it. I’ve seen tons of vids w/ ppl doing house or dnb on it. I got it btw. Check me out if you can. You’re a big inspo!
