Oh, wow.. Here, let me fix this for you..
Team [everybody]: "Features! All that was advertised! Now! I want it to do what it was designed and promoted to do, reliably, without crashes. I want my $1400 piece of hardware to be faithful enough to use on stage without a contingency plan!"
Team [fanboi]: "Your expectations are unrealistic! It's not Papa Akai that was wrong, but the workstation-buying public! The tool isn't meant to be all things to all people, nor was it designed to be a professional-grade product! It was made for lo-fi hip-hop noodling, and making funny noises!"
