Namm 2010 is coming up, do you think OS 3 will be released?

With NAMM right around the corner, do you think akai will release OS 3.0 for the mpc5000?

I certainly hope so but I am not betting on it.

can anyone vote cause I can't lol?

No and no.

well I have no idea how to fix the poll. but my vote is also no. I'd love to be told otherwise though!!

It would be a good thing.

I doubt it would be a 3.0. More likely a 2.1.

so I guess no..kinda.

Akai is too busy making software controllers to work on the MPC 5000.

APC 20... that blows my mind, and not in a good way.

All I can say is... huh?!

Ableton Live users are saying the same thing.

Even more redundant software controllers:

NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.!!

hi!
there's no pictures at all of MPC's from NAMM 2010 so far... that worries me!
Is Akai dumping the MPC series?!
/jocks

Sad, but unlikely.

yeah yesterday I received the email were they have new releases and what not and it did not say anything about mpcs.

it also had the most ridiculous machine I have ever seen in my life, a controller for your iphone.


wtf akai?

Are some controllers being discontinued or is Akai looking to fracture their software controller market further?

At least I get the APC-20 as something to compete with the Launchpad, but that thing... geeze.

Guess there is little hope of an 5kXL this year or any satisfactory 5k OS updates. There's always next year
