I wouldn't take any notice of rumours of paid updates and Ren MK2 etc. It's all pie in the sky at this point.
They make me pay I sell away..lol...I would sell this Ren so fast..I wouldnt even care if i took a hit on the unit...That would piss everybody off...I saw that the maschine 2.0 comes with the studio and all of the MK2 versions of the maschine... if you bought it recently...but everybody else has to pay the upgrade fee..crazy!
I do have usefulness in my Studio so I won't just sell it away, but as a long time Akai Customer, I would be hard pressed to spend any more of my hard earned dollars with them when there are so many other options, and hungry companies that will go extra mile for repeat biz
*Edit: I say this cause selling it doesn't affect them in anyway. They already paid regardless how many times something is passed down. But NEW business and purchases, they would fell that IF customers are united and say, we not buying ur updates (Imagine if Mico$oft charged for windows updates) nor any of ur other ish...
I'd feel more like like "So you sold me a beta product and wanna charge me for you making it right..."
