Any rumors, info, release date guesses on the upcoming 2.3 update? I'm newish to the MPC world so I'm not sure who to follow on twitter or wherever to get this type of news. Also as a mostly silent reader of the forums I gotta say, I appreciate everybody spreading knowledge in these threads!

Dan said the next update has a big marketing campaign behind it. He said he is not allowed to divulge details because of the marketing campaign. He only said disk streaming is not part of it.

Dan post in the gearslutz forum.

If a 2.3 update does come out it would be at NAMM after the new year.

No, Dan (the product manager for the MPC hardware) said 2.3 is on its way with a big marketing push. This was in July.

If Akai really wanted to be informative they should stop reading this forum in secret and start posting on the boards where their real/loyal customers gather. Right here on this forum!! Did something happen in the past? Or is it because of the jokes we were making in 2016/2017?.

It's 2018 and I still feel a huge distance between us and Akai Pro. So many bugs where submitted during the Beta period and maybe 30% have been resolved. Exporting drumtracks to audio tracks will result in a 16 bit file even tough your project settings are at 24 bit. A lot of vst plugin names are presented wrong on the touch srceen interface and sometimes it just shows 'empty' even tough there is a vst plugin loaded. The GUI wont remember it's position when you switch between modes. So when your viewing the mixer and are making some adjustments to the sub busses and switch to the sampler and after the sampler back to the mixer you'll have to scroll all the way back to the sub busses. The same thing in track mode when your viewing track 26 and leave and come back to track mode you'll have to scroll all the way back down to track 26.

I really feel that they need to restore their bond with the MPC community.

Agreed. I remember Andy used to post in here all the time back in the early days of the 4000 and 5000. He dipped after awhile cause folks were giving him hell and he was really just trying to engage and help. Folks don’t know how to act in here so I can’t say I blame them for not wanting to engage here anymore.
