Akai MPC Key 61 - thoughts?

[Ibi Sum]

Yeah it’s the one thing I miss on the Bluebox. It’s awesome for recording tracks, but it’d be superlative if it had USB audio capabilities.

I think there’s a Bluebox v2 on the horizon though… and it has some competition, who have been lying attention it’s popular form factor and punch.

I can leave the mixer somewhere close to the gear, and put the Faderfox anywhere else on the desk I need it, or hand it over to one of the other guys to mix during a session.  I don’t even think about them as separate components any more, they just work .. its like having a mixing console with a detachable interface.
