-Audio tracks like samplitude pro (999)
-Secondary data wheel to be used as a scrub

edit: some minor improvements.

There could be some exaggeration. But what could be those realistic improvements..?

No shit!

A bit of hardware acceleration and a decent sized touch screen with pinch to zoom waveform editing would be quality though.

The hardware is pretty solid IMO. A colored LCD is not really helpful when it's hooked up to a much larger computer screen. But thunderbolt would be a great option. I believe Akai should continue to focus on software right now.

Wow, I'm surprised Wifi isn't on that list!

Really. OS X doesn't even have bluray support on an OS level and he's already dreaming of a bluray Ren MKII.

Colored LCD would be nice for Sample Edit Trim/Chop Mode's sample editor. Not really essential for anything else...a luxury item.

can i have drinks holder

you forget the flux capacitor...

By the way....we had this discussion before:
viewtopic.php?f=36&t=154529&hilit=MK+2+Controller

Talking about an MK2 hardware when the software isn't even at the 1.0 level?

what would be killer if the mk2 had a small lcd under or over each pad to identify samples or parameters.this would make for ez navigation and good eye candy.
A bigger lcd of course.
it should also be a hybrid .it would primarily be a controller as it is now but would give u limited options to used it standalone.
like it would have multicore atom processor ,256 to 512 or 1gig of ram a small flash drive maybe 8,16,32gigs/w optional flash card storage.and when the Mk2 is connected to a computer its internal cpu would aid in processing of certain vsts and plugins ie protools hd and Uad cards. so if u have a not so great cpu the Mk2 would handle the extra work at lease with its own specialized plugins
why so conservative on specs...to keep price competitive .
although they could make a pro model with all the bells and whistles ie better specs.
