Akai Rumours

Why do this when we can continue to speculate endlessly and throw ourselves into fits of consumeristic rage when the announced product doesn’t meet our inflated, unrealistic expectations?

I’m getting more coffee. Lets burn this muhfuka to the groun!

These gentlemen all went to the same “reveal college” to learn how to make the reveal face in their synchronized reaction video drops.

Is Akai still relevant in 2023?

I was hoping for an MPC 500 for 2023.

I’d decided it was an MPC60 or MPC 3000 reissue.

Then I checked.

It wasn’t.

Nah, that would be too cool but also very unlikely. Roger Linn still holds some rights to the MPC60 and 3000, he’d definitely be unwilling to work with them considering inmsuic Akai stopped his royalty payments.

It could be in a position they don’t like. I’m trying to make this post about Akai…

Yeah very true. Shame though.

It was more just a thought that entered my head based on absolutely nothing. I didn’t win the lottery last night either so 2 for 2!

The way in which you lot are expressing how underwhelmed you all are is really making my morning. One thing Akai is really good at is getting people to creatively express how underwhelmed they are.

I guess we should just be happy it wasn’t a Timbre Wolf and Rhythm Wolf plugin announcement with Fleetwood Mac presets preloaded.

2500 is a bit pricey for this little upgrade. I think the MPC line is overall solid, but that is a bit much.

This release is exactly what I expected.

I actually really like the look. I’m just not in the market for a massive $2500 MPC, and likely never will be.
