LOL, I doubt it's jumping ship, more like being collared by NI at A3C, him being polite and next thing there's a bunch of pictures being taken. He looks pretty awkward in those photos, no smile for the camera. I'd imagine Akai won't be too happy whatever the excuse.

The headline... "We invited some of top producers..." He could have easily said no.

When money is on the line, and Akai is backing you, putting you on their videos, there's no such thing as "polite". This is business. If he has an exclusive agreement with Akai, I agree Tutor, he's gonna have to do some explaining. Heck even if he doesn't have an exclusive...

This ladies and gentlemen, is guerrilla marketing in action... implying a shift of allegiance by one of your competitor's front men.

Well, even if he was under a contract with Akai, he might be allowed to go and check it out just for fun.
Personally, I, for one, am interested in Maschine Studio out of curiosity even though I love my Ableton+Push as well as MPC Ren/Studio, and I'd definitely go to an event like that if I had the chance.

However, getting on that pic is a deliberate choice, and it's not like they'd force a grown man into a pic. He easily could've said no to that, so my guess would be he's free to do whatever he likes.

Is any of this relevant in any way to us? No. Haha.
