Akai MPC Fly

Thanks to Engadget.com I found out that Akai, the electronics company that produces some of the greatest music productions tools used in the industry, have created an iPad compatible MPC/iPad Case and App.

It is called the MPC Fly and it combines physical pads with an exclusive iPad 2 MPC app. It seems to bring all the MPC goodness right on your iPad.

Sure I have a bunch of music creation apps that work great already on the iPad, but I've always wanted to get an MPC anyway and this seems to be the perfect combination product for me.

The way they promote this, it is supposed to be used 'On The Fly' to get your thoughts down quick, and that can be taken back into the studio to be mastered. Well, I would probably use it for the full production... that's just my style.

Anyway... looks awesome, can't wait to see the pricing and availability... this may be my next major music purchase.
