So,
Akai have just announced one of their newest products. Tha Akai MPX8.

By the looks of its a small, and hopefully cheap version of an MPC. It can read samples of an sd memory card and it has MIDI outputs so it can be used as a normal midi controller too!

WNAMM13: New Akai Keyboard And Sample Launcher, Space-saving MAX25 and MPX8 make their debut at the show -Sonicstate.com

What do you guys think about it and do you think you will be buying one when they are released to buy?
