MPC One : The best but still no xlr input and no battery inside

In terms of workflow and size/weight there's nothing on the market like this. And it's still the BEST.

But is crazy that it has no battery inside and still no xlr input for a microphone.

It could also be perfect with the 16 knobs always auto mapped (just like on his big brother mpc X ) so you can mix everything and modify all the parameters in every window of effects, programs settings etc without the useless q-links (that limits to 4 parameters at the same time your setting up).

About the audio recording : just like in the daws , when u record you can choose your best takes. I dont think is a big problem for akai to put this feature on the next firmwares.

when akai will release what i've described, it will be the best groove box ever. (and also the best all-in-one to make music in a funny /fast way in studio/on the go)

But , at now, no comparison with all the other groove boxes. the touch screen and the portability are the main differences.
