Hi there!
since OS development at Akai/numark is so slow, the should hire the JJ team!
those guys obviously have the skills and the time.
how about a group request from mpc-forum users?

current jj intake - estimate at least $900 from 2500 users and probably more than $1500 from 1000 users (USD).

let's be generous to the previous sums and say jj and/or akai has made at least 3000 usd from selling the "JJ os."

hmm how many mpcs would akai have to sell to make $3000?
the monetary intake from os really is chump change to a company that sells thousand dollar drum machines. its biggest benefit is that they no longer have to spend as much time/money on coding.

it really raises the question - how many people do/did akai have working code before this whole jj thing?

ps this thread is very much in the wrong forum, pretty much a no brainer

also

i have no desire for it to be turned into the official os
because historically, official akai os's never get updated.
