That's not a fluid working method for me.
Do you ignore the onboard waveform display with Maschine the same way as you're planning to with the Ren?
I never look at Maschine's LCD. What is the point when you have a huge monitor. When I bought the MV-8000, I installed the VGA option. I disabled my MV-8000 LCD as it was no longer needed. No MV user I am aware of that has a VGA option is wasting their time looking at the MVs LCD. The Ren will be much the same.

As far a credit...several forum members were beta testers for the MPC 5000 OS 2.0. Their names are listed in the MPC 5000 Team page.
To be fair those guys aren't just forum members. Andy and Eric both work for Akai/ Numark. Paul is PM at loopmasters.com and are content providers for Akai. That list isn't made up of end user forum members they have an affiliation with the company.
There are numerous names listed in the MPC 5000 Team Page. You do not know everybody on that list...and I seriously doubt you have ever met anyone on that list. Multiple forum members that are not employed by Numark/Akai are listed. They used their own personal time to test the software and make Akai aware of MPC users wants/needs. If you go back and read older MPC 5000 threads, you can find out who they are. There would have actually been more listed but several forum members dropped out of testing.

So how did you come up with this conclusion? Its sounds really silly. There is no other Forum on the internet dedicated to a musical product that users will create numerous feature request threads and then demand payment or recognition for their ideas......that were not so original in the first place.
To wrap this up, numerous companies open up their products to selected users to beta test. Some companies have public beta testing as well. I just put my name on the Korg Kronos beta testing list. I hope I get picked up because I want to ensure that Kronos works flawlessly in the MPC Ren. These two products will be the centerpieces of my preproduction set-up.
