    Always been curious about the Akais, but have been put off by the fact that a lot of their stuff uses TPE coating that degrades/peels/becomes sticky like glue..

    Should work, but the Sample drains the battery from iPhone.

    I imagined that this would also be compared to the Novation Circuit Rhythm too

    i don't have any personal experience of the novation circuit rhythm but, fortunately, it's reviewed in a recent episode of bad gear!

    I hate that stuff too, but I don’t believe any of their current units use it. The MPC Live 3 and MPC One definitely don’t.

    Thanks for letting us know! I have a couple of Elektrons that r useless due to all the buttons & knobs turning into glue…argh!

    ReasOne’s totally right about sticking with whatever you’re killing it with.

    The hardware is defo a little more fun, if you don’t run into flow-disrupting limitations. Try it out, if the cost isn’t prohibitive. You rarely lose money when you flip them online anyway.

    I’ve owned a few MPC’s down the years. The older models’ workflow/project structure quickly becomes second nature and the DACs on the outputs give a really beefy sound. The MPC One could do EVERYTHING, I really wanted to love it, but I didn’t like the software UX and the cluttered, inconsistent UI. So many pages, layouts and menus it was distracting.

    The Sample looks great, it has that stripped-back approach, should be lightning to work with. Bringing your own sound sources via phone/tablet may be the perfect compromise.

    Regarding the alternatives:

    I had a Circuit Rhythm for a while, a very immediate, fun little unit. The screen-less aspect appeals to plenty of people, but my personal experience was that it eventually made it tiring to work with, especially when you don’t use it for a while and forget how you do things, or how your projects were organised. You have very little visual reference to guide you.

    Wish I hadn’t sold my 404mkII, though the workflow never quite clicked for me, lots of shift functions and hidden features to memorise. A very capable, great sounding unit.

    If you give them a good scrub with isopropyl alcohol then that coating should come off. It’s a faff though.

    Thanks, I’ve read about the isopropyl alcohol method, but can’t be bothered - I can just about get rubber feet on synths, without having to completely dissemble & reassemble them! HST, I learnt a valuable lesson about avoiding TPE hardware like the complete f***in key plague 🤮
