Hey folks,
Long time MPC user here. Started with an MPC Studio in 2012, decided it was bollocks, bought an MPC1000 with JJOS2XL - made many hundreds and hundreds of beats. Preordered the MPC Live - submitted bugs and watched it mature into a decent platform.
Recently my Live 1 kicked the bucket and started glitching out during live performances so it was time to upgrade. I use Keygroups a lot so sprung for the Keys 37
All I can say is, Akai/Inmusic, you have completely ruined the MPC experience and lost me as a customer forever. Your software reeks of non-musicians building slop that no one asked for, while axing crucial workflows that have been the defining feature of the platform for decades.
You have alienated your key userbase and I will no longer be purchasing anything you create. MPC2 was stable, used the classic workflow, and familiar to any MPC user. In fact, it was the absolute best tool for live improvisation available anywhere (except maybe a push.......)
Loading programs, running multiple tracks through those programs was THE KEY workflow for the MPC experience. Your decision to remove this feature and workflow has rendered your device a literal paperweight to me and many of your longtime users. Also who decided what buttons to expose on the Key 37? A blind dog? You guys are idiots. For years I wanted to work for Akai designing MPC software - I can now confirm that I want nothing of the sort, because you are operating like a ship of fools, unmusical nerds who don't know flow state if it punched your mom in the face.
BOO Akai. All you noobs talking about arranger mode should go back to fruity loops. Shit is absolutely terrible. I bought another 1000 with JJOS because at least you guys can't **** that up.
I want my money back. I supported you for years.
