They gotta save something for the Keys MK2 - :twisted: Sadistic Marketing 101 never give the buyer what they want especially when it's easily possible, they gotta piss on you, I mean piss you off first & let you get comfortable being uncomfortable then you'll get your reward = buying a new Keys MK2! >>> I see what your plan Akia...Ouch! :shock:


And what sucks is they all sort of do it.

Always one or two key things missing.

Keeping everything medium-warm!

Sometimes I understand the planned hardware limitations, keeping some features for the next iteration but akai likes pulling the same trick for their software too (call me disk streaming and track editor)! Imagine if Microsoft released versions of Windows with different features for different pc systems.

I've noticed Amazon has suddenly changed their listing for MPCs.

Until recently, the MPC Live, One and Key61 were all grouped on the same product page, and now they are completely separate and don't seem to have the pay within x-month offer. It looks like they've made a new grouping that will be activated once the product is announced (and fairly soon) ;)

I understand what you're saying, but Microsoft actually does this, Windows Server and Windows 10 / 11 have very different prices and feature sets.

They do. No need to imagine.
Or was this sarcasm and I missed it,
