AKAI: you can stop saying "NEW OS 2.0" now

You really know how to insult your customers

Move the MPC5000 pages over to the legacy section and be done with it!

I use mine every day, but Akai lost interest in it years ago.

LOL, yes, I spotted that the other day. I agree, 5000/2500/500/1000 need to be put in the legacy section now, although no doubt there's still unsold stock still sitting around in some stores, so I guess they'll leave them as active until that stock is pretty much gone.

I wonder, do they still provide tech support to anything marked as legacy? For example, the blue XL and 4000 that they created?

At least on their community board there's one dude answering to "didn't-bother-to-check-the-manual" type of questions... i guess that's tech support.

I really wish JJ could bless this machine

I doubt it... I asked about drivers for the mpd16 a few years back... as we know the XP ones totally dont work in later OSs..... in fact they blue screen vista (no joke.. it's been confirmed on multiple computers)

their solution was to buy the mpd32. Thanks akai! ..

PS, my solution was using the midi out instead of USB.

LoL wtf , yall serious

yeah, thats pretty bad, i remember tutor posted a couple weeks ago about the 5k having the harder you hit a drum it softens the attack, but when they were writing the OS they **** up and made it on the decay of the hits instead, so its a useless feature now, then they never bothered to fix it. smh

The bug was actually V>ATT - with this set, the softer you hit the drum, the more attack should be shaved off the start which changes the timbre of the sample and makes it sound softer - this was standard on all previous MPCs. On the 5000, if you set a V>ATT then the harder hits actually shaved off more attack, i.e. the reverse action of what it should do.

Something like that would literally be a 5 minute fix and should not impact any other code, basically it would simply involve changing a '>' to a '<' in one line of code. Why was such a simple bug never fixed? Who knows? There's no reasonable excuse IMO. And, there's no reasonable excuse why this could STILL not be fixed.

Problem: MPC 5000 has bugs that a free OS update would fix
Solution: Get a Ren it's only $1300... hell thats pretty much free!

things like this are reasons why Im holdn back on Renea

thanks for clarifying tutor, also, how would i go about doing this on my jjos2xl?
