Just upgraded too OSX Lion 10.7 and Ak.sys no longer launches as it's an Power pc application. Does anyone have solution apart from revert back to Tiger?

Cheers!

I posted a topic on this warning people the day Lion came out as I learned the hard way....I think the thread got buried, though. You seem to be in the same boat that I was my man.....the only way to get aksys working again is going to be by going back to snow leopard. However, what you could do, is just use a flash drive to transport your samples to the MPC, and create your programs on the MPC.

I have my harddrive externally mounted in a case, and just hook it up to my computer to make my chops/load the samples onto it, and then hook it into my mpc to load the samples. I actually then save to the harddrive, and make a backup of the complete folder right then. So you're really not at a loss if you are willing to work around aksys. The reason I went back to Snow Leopard was because of Pro Tools 9 at the time.

Good info in case someone is in a pinch and enjoys using aksys.
