#2: And without a midi jack you can’t use a keyboard or knobs unless you export everything into a REAL daw.  
#3: Beatmaker is way better.  Unless there is rewire to link them, or you can use the controller with beatmaker, MPCFLY is worthless.  
#4 FOUR FREAKING TRACKS?  Are you kidding me?  my roland sp-808 from 1998 has better specs.
It’s a sad day for music producers everywhere when AKAI starts pretending that we’re DJs, but then I guess they’ve been owned by NUMARK for years.

All you need to do is look on the back where the adapter plugs in. It should say what voltage is needed and at what current (in amps) and the polareity of the plug.
