sorry, but cookin soul is not an 'mpc community', it's one bloke who sometimes makes a video with an MPC in it somewhere, nothing against him, but how is that remotely relevant to a section linking through to MPC communities? And producer grind? Seriously, I can't even see a damn MPC on their site, and their samplepacks don't even have MPC versions included.
Akai seem to go out of their way to not publicly promote this forum. They seem happy to have us picking up the customer support slack of course.
TBH I get that this forum and myself personally are not exactly 'team Akai', but this is ridiculous that they would not link to this site when promoting 'mpc communities'. And yes, I also get that this is all about some other background dealings and actually nothing about providing useful links for their customers, but still, it's so frustrating. I've been trying to get them to link here for years, 20 years in fact, they just don't want to know.
Actually, not quite true, the 'old' Akai did put a prominent link to this site on their main support page, thanks Dave Whittle (the Dan Gill of those days), but of course once they went bankrupt and the inmusic took over, the link never made it to the new site

But it's clearly an option. They're not interested in having a forum of their own, a discord, etc. Let someone else deal with that.
A closed facebook group, a youtube channel of a guy and a website that has the most youtube "i'm 12 and I just wrote this e-book teaching you how I made millions selling beats on beatstars" producer cliché look.
