IMHO, I already have other things that are way more capable like Push 3 standalone, Syntakt with that new firmware and a new iPad, enough to last me whatever time I have on this earth.

Yes looks nice and Im tempted because is very cheap (and cute lol) but rather save the money and use the time to better learn what I already have.

@Randymcnasty

Um, ever tried editing and filtering like everyone did before a few years ago before AI gave us separated stems with wobbly artefacts (and decimated eq and phase) nobody ever would want to use for the basis of an original sequence?

Remember all those dope tracks you love?
Zero AI stem separation.

Double-Dee and Steinski created the groundbreaking Lessons 1-3 pre digital with just vinyl, eq, tape, quick fingers, and sharp minds.

Just because everyone is talking about stem separation doesn’t mean it is the saviour of music production. Relying upon it for original production is lazy.

@Rango Nobody else is bored by this release

If it was an unreasonable expectation (/opinion), fine. I didn’t appreciate the condescending reply from Eoin.

Why not? The $250 JBL Bandbox does.

And those other Akai products have a nerfed version of Stems to allow it to tlrun standalone!

Dude, it’s obviously not going to have stem separation!

If you don’t see how stem separation would be useful in sampling, then I guess I don’t know what to tell you.

plus, I don’t use computers in my set up. Try thinking outside of your own box, dude.

uh, let’s see… only because several other Akai products (MPC) have it???? That’s why tf.

And it’s only a matter of time before we see that technology on more and more hardware products. Hell, the JBL Bandbox (amplifier) has it.

ok, i prefer real midi ports and no need for dongles in that area

also its just too damn cute

Why tf would something like this have something like that?

I think you’re looking for laptop

I’m also disappointed. Here and on other sites it was a rampage, when the leaks leaked. Now that it’s out, everyone is bored.
