New akai vocoder/synth

looks megawak!

Yeah - they announced it back in March - looks crappy

The only thing that's missing is a Beatkang next to it. Perfect combo

Not interested at all. As ive said b4, Nu-akai will never get a penny from me again. After the whole mpc1000 pad dilema i have been done with them. Making customers pay $180 for their design flaw.

Akai actually stole it from them! It was originally the SynthTHANG.

I never knew about this. I'm not writing it off until I learn more about it though.

EDIT: $499? I would just get a MicroKorg.

SECOND EDIT: Watched video. Either that thing sucks hard or the guy isn't demoing it properly. Wow.

I thought it came for free with the 'How to play keyboard/synthesizer for dummys' book.

That dude probably never even seen a synth before that vid.

ROFL

If they're going up against the microkorg then it's one big FAIL!

does it have scsi?

i do like the idea of having two mod wheels.

hey, I will leave it up to someone else this time to check if this is simply an alesis micron in a different shell... since I proved the thing about the new akai monitors.... I somehow dont think that is an akai designed product with their reputation lately.

That's like the worst vocoder demo I've ever seen.
