You need the cf card for custom splash-screen and os-updates...

If you have the HD, you won't need the CF card (with OS1 or OS2). You will need a CF card to load any updates that Akai will push after v2.11... but don't hold your breathe. I'm going on a hunch and will say, once you see what either OS can do compared to 2.11, you will go with an HD and only use the CF card here and there.

I gotta clue you into something also.... read these forums (even page 3,4,5,6,7,8, ect...) and try to refrain from search-able questions. Me and others here frown on some questions and will only get you cracked on and left to fend for your self. Your question is a completely search-able query. Sorry to hit you with this so early in the morning...


Have fun with your machine when it gets to you.

its always nice to have a backup save device.












besides you will want to load up JJOS asap once you get your mpc.
