I'm considering buying one of the modern MPCs (One+, Live 3, etc), and I have a question:
Would I have issues using a new MPC without access to a Windows or Mac PC? I only have Linux machines, and I don't want to rely on Wine for anything crucial.
It looks like firmware updates can happen via wifi or file transfer. I don't really care about the virtual instrument/plugin side of things and would be using it as a sampler/sequencer.
