The jogwheel (which is central to MPC operation) is much larger and flatter than on the Ren to keep things flush but even though it has ridges for gripping, you still have to exert some pressure to get it to turn, and your fingers can slide off the shiny surface quite easily.
The silver-painted rubber buttons have a positive click when pressed, though unfortunately they also squish about a lot and if you press them too hard on a corner, and they can get stuck under the panel, so be careful. The panel layout is conducive to fast workflow and owes much to hardware MPC's. Also, there's still no way to turn the display off to prolong the backlight or an overall volume control on the hardware.Īkai has generally done a good job with the Studio's hardware and it strikes a good balance between functionality and compactness. A flip-out stand would have really helped, but you can prop up the Studio if necessary. The main downside for us is the fixed screen, as its readability is often compromised unless you are looking directly from above.
