dont post in here dude, me i dont care for all the midi shit just sample chop and go so machine is perfect for me plus i dont use multople outs but if i can export wavs into a DAW and sequence that would be ideal.

a quick and dirty tool that can do full compositions and bread and butter sounds like u can go wrong with some rhodes and strings cos those will always blend with samples or if u wanna do a none sample banger all good.

but yeah most the sounds will get deleted.

I wonder if you even can delete the sounds.

I still haven't seen it hooked up to a turntable or even a cd player and sample sounds yet. Thats what I wanna see.

I would'nt be surprised if Akai was secretly funding the Kangz. After all they called it the MPC killer, maybe it was used as a contraversy to catch attention of their current customers to switch. The XR20 operates similar to the Thang and that got flashing blue lights too. Why could'nt they call it the SP or MV killer, those sold more than MPCs because of price ranging from $399 and up. Akai did sold to Numark, so its a new company than what it once was.

Just a thought.

That ning site is going to be mostly blind fanboy circle-jerking. There's some of that here too, and I was banned once because of it. People don't like the truth when it threatens their beliefs. They'd rather believe lies and feel right than face truth and feel wrong.

The good thing about keeping some Beat Thang info alive on this forum is more of a chance for truth to be heard. The bad thing about it is there's blind hate here too. You have to look beyond all the blind beliefs on both sides and cut to the facts to see truth.

If all these threads are closed, you can find some info on my BKE Beat Thang page. It's been updated as more data is discovered. There's more to come that hasn't been published yet.

I'd like to see more videos too, of it sampling, but of everything. Let's see some in-depth workflow. Let's see it charging, booting, loading, saving, recording, exporting, etc. Plug a sound module into the MIDI out, plug a MIDI controller in, sequence that.

James town..... What you failed to consider is that we have spent a fortune to build this company and before we make some one we barely know from a forum a rep we needed a way to see who had the motivation and hustle to make something from nothing. It's great that you got your Pro Tools Cert....but dude we live in Nashville. Do you know how many people waiting tables got PT cert's..... What sales experience, can you work the net, can you PROVE you are worth a 6 figure salary? You just expect to be handed that cause you chat on an MPC forum and got a protools cert? Around here we reward hustle. No one GAVE us anything. We were running from the repo man around the time the streetboxx came out..... Streetboxx was our PROOF that we could do something.
We made 15k of that deal and they made millions.....but now we have our own company and dev team. If zoom would have offered us 20% of all the streetboxxes we could sell we would have been happy! This is a tough biz. Record and Mi biz. If all you in here think someone is gonna hand u anything or even give you a chance to earn it.....good luck with that. At least we were giving you a chance to earn a position. We have a few "Soldiers" now that ARE proveing it and guess what, as we grow they will become Generals.

If you knew the bonuses we are planning to give our top "soldiers" you would shit your self. Like I said we reward hustle.

You know it's really ashame. Some of you in here have been really cool and had our back others are so negative it's pathetic.

We ARE beat makers and have a passion for this, we aren't a huge Corp yet.
It's shocking the amount of negativity that exists. We did this for you guys.

You had our full attention. Wow dig that a company that is making a beat machine for real in here asking you what you want......but instead of getting down with us some of you just wanted to try and bring us down.

I ain't gonna lie. That repost of my email pissed me off. Around here we call that ho shit. We don't do people like that....

This will be my last post on this forum and I will not be reading any of it anymore.

Good luck to all of you. I hope people recieve your dreams the way you recieve others.

If you want to do more than TALK about things you don't like then you know where we are at.

Yes our forum and full community will be up next week.... Positive visionaries are welcome!!!!

AJA
PROUD PREZ OF BEAT KANGZ

PS. Jamon we will be refunding your deposit Monday morning...... Maybe you can use the refund to go start your own company since you know soooo much. Good luck with that!

Straight comedy....You probably made %50 of the total profits from that machine then. There is no way Zoom made even close to a mil on the streetboxx.

I live in rural Canada, you live in the same city NAMM is hosted in....Im not expecting to be handed anything, especially seeing as how I live in the type of environment where hip hop should not exist. This place is the Canadian version of Texas, without the mixed culture, just ignant rednecks. Half the americans I talk to still think we live in igloos, god damn it.
I was down to put in work, sitting on the computer hyping up a product is not work. Ive designed networks for oil and gas companies and wireless communications services, Ive spent 12 hour days 350 ft up a radio tower in 90 degree f (+) heat and worked on satellite systems in -70 degrees f below...What the **** do you know about hustle. And as for sales experience, Ive sold network designs to multi-billion dollar companies...But you CANNOT sell a product you dont really know anything about. You wanted me to pay you before I could even sell youre product! **** that, thats shifty. You dont even have a users manual for the product, and Im supposed to sell it?

Oh, and I didnt even run my mouth about my PT certs, One mentioned it earlier in this thread. :lol:

"I take my toys and go home now"

kthxbye.

Really...what did you expect AJA? You come on to the turf of people who love MPCs and then declare Akai the enemy? You diss the MPC hardware to no end and declare yourself the winner?

And you have the audacity to expect to be treated like a white knight that is going to save us from our own stupidity?

You're either the dumbest Mofo on the planet or so egotistical as to be completely out of touch with reality. I think it's better that you do take your leave from this forum. Your farewell message makes it clear you have very little capacity to handle criticism and you appear to be letting our criticism affect your judgement.
