The future of Akai MPC line brought a lot of talking and guessing. Classic MPCs used to be standalones while their successors appeared to be more of hardware/software hybrids, kind of what Native Instruments Maschine is, meaning that no way you could do without a computer. But MPC X and MPC Live have brought their independence back.
