Just announced

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

I like the screen and proposed workflow. What I wanna know, and what remains unclear. Is the Touch just another controller like all the other slim MPC products? Or does it have its own processor, and can it do its thing all on its own? I so want this thing to break free from the box, and why not, It has its own dedicated power jack.

It is not standalone capable. Unfortunately.

Oh, I'm disappointed. I thought it was 'just another MPC, this time with a touch screen " and its actually "just another MPC-like controller""

Every time Akai bring out another midi controller and call it an MPC it makes me check how much MPC4ks are going for on ebay. :D
