Now we have the new generation of MPC users wanting Akai to teach them how to use it. 
Don't be so presumptuous. It would seem that your mistake here is in assuming that anyone here is referring to tutorials and secondly that anyone here is actually interested in your opinion, Jah. Moreover, are you not the same individual who assumed that other users, who are likely invariably more creative, skilled, and versed than yourself in both audio production and technical aptitude, somehow needed you to teach them the Ren and coach them about what features within it should interests them most? In case you never figured it out, we don't. Even for those who do need such a thing, how can you act appalled at the idea when you assumed that people needed such a thing from January to September in unison with your non-stop spamming?
In addition. If it's not obvious to you yet, it's become very predictable that as soon as someone so much as gives constructive criticism or call into question anything that Akai does or doesn't do you spawn up and try to counter it with some absurd claim that they are either "haters" or pre-occupied with some moot facet of Akai's business practices. You then follow it with an emoticon to somehow convince yourself that you actually made a point. It's dumbfounding how many threads I've come into and seen you ruin with this same adolescent need to defend Akai. Not everyone is out to shoot down Akai but you somehow can not accept that even people who are interested in Akai's products will still believe there are areas where they can improve.
Your need to argue and assume things about others is obviously the Dunning–Kruger effect in action. I would have "foed" you a long time ago but I don't even necessarily believe that you are intentionally malicious but more that you are a bit of a sociopath and unduly narcissistic. So I try to just look pass it.
What I posted had very little to do with Tutor. Tutor makes tutorials from what I see that very well may help multitudes of individuals learn the MPC and production techniques. I haven't read any of his material but I'm sure it benefits many. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with anything I posted and isn't what I was referring to.
What we don't need are people buying things and not knowing exactly how it's implemented. You know, like the UA Apollo you bought that you were completely wrong about in almost every respect of how it worked? I corrected you but what if you would have foolishly got it home and what you so innocently thought was possible wasn't? See? Videos could have helped you to know that what you so adamantly posted, in all of it's boastful and inaccurate detail, wasn't even possible in the manner you so matter-of-factly posted it. UA did put out videos however and it answered many questions for potential buyers apparently, except those who think such videos are "boring".
Besides, what you're saying makes no sense because the premise of what I suggested is no different than the reasoning behind companies like Akai giving demonstrations at NAMM or such, albeit in less detail. If the details weren't sketchy and they weren't working from a prototype there would likely not be a need for what I'm suggesting. The reality is though that the product was and is still in active development with many features still being added, apparently. I don't need tutorials but you seem to have a problem with people wanting more details so as to make a fully informed decision before a purchase. If a company can help people make an informed decision and get exactly what they want, why wouldn't they? If you're sitting on something like Live, other DAWs and already have hardware MPCs, Maschine and sundry…what you need to make the decision isn't a tutorial.
Come on, Jah. Your accusations are getting silly.
