    OK, so, sold a couple of artworks at the weekend and splurged the £ on an MPC Live 2 Retro.

    • Sweet. I have a regular black one arriving in next few days. Will probably regret not going retro more than you regret spending an extra 100 ;)mort_
    • <^dope! sooo tempted to pull the triggerfuturefood
    • Looking at cases / bags for it. The Magma CTRL one looks a bit overly spacious.mort_
    • Arrived today. The retro is a thing of beauty! I've always wanted a 2000/XL for the retro look but I think this has satisfied that 'want'.microkorg

    • I'd have been happy with a black one too but I got this retro for a good deal, plus SSD + decksavermicrokorg
    • Don't think i'll need a bag at the moment, happy with decksaver. Frustrated though that the flightcase I have is just Millimetresmicrokorg
    • too small to fit the Live2 and My SC1000 Scratch side by side.microkorg
    • That's a beauty!mort_
    • Mine arrived too. The built-in speakers are surprisingly workable!mort_
    • The speaker and battery are the reason I got this over the One. can just pick it up and play it anywhere, not worry about battery/power/wiresmicrokorg
    • Its what i loved about the OP-1. Something I used much more than any other gear ive ever owned. So hopefully the same for the Live2 :)microkorg
    • Yeah same. One idea / plan is to make samples and loops with the modular and outboard synths and arrange them into tunes away from the PC using the MPC.mort_
    • I tend to just have endless jams with the modular so this is an attempt to reign it in and in a way capture building blocks for tunes.mort_
    • sounds like a good planmicrokorg
