Today is the day, I'm hoping for some good news about a new MPC

**** a new mpc, dropping two competing items within the same year would be slow suicide

plus i'm broke, don't want to buy a new one

It's Numark and they don't give a damn about Akai. Forget about a new OS.

Numark doesn't own AKAI, they are both owned by a different company. And if the rumors about the MPC 500 are true, then we will get our OS upgrade. The MPC 2000xl is discontinued and the MPC 2000xl MCD will also be discontinued as soon as they are sold out of stock. The NAMM show started today so we'll find out if this is true or not very soon.

No need to be negative about it guys.

What was the over item AKAI released this year?

i don't see why they would do that if they didn't have anything new. and sonic state has slowly been adding videos so far this morning.

Thanks Pad. I was just beginning to wonder if they were there at all. Mostly guitars this far. And a gimmicky iPod-mixer from Numark.

Well , akai did show the new software vst version of their Z8 sampler but i hope that's not the only thing new.

that video is from january 2003

Hahaha , goddamn i'm stupid .
In my daily net-search for something new to drop i stumbled upon this VZ8 , never heard of it before so i thought it was something new.
Didn't realy interest me so i didn't read the review.
My bad.
