Pic: AKAI MPC Fly For iPad 2

*Jaw drops on the floor*

What.Thee.Hell....

The future? The past?

Innovation? Addition by subtraction?

Akai debutED its MPC Fly for the iPad 2 recently at the NAMM Show. It combines 16 backlit MPC pads into a built-in iPad 2 case, and is completed with an integrated iOS app that boasts an array of effects, a four-track mixer, sound library, sample editing and an EQ. Looks like the perfect toy for a producer on the go.
