Has there been any hints dropped as to when the next update is going to be with us?

1.4 is dated April (although it did drop slightly later I believe) and I'm very eager to see which functions Akai implement with 1.5 and of course the increased stability, not to mention the FX automation which they are definitely bringing in, without a doubt, surely, I hope, maybe?

:)

So, anyone know what dates we're looking at for the next update?

"Soon come" - What does it really mean?
by Cool an Deadly


I've noticed that there are certain phrases used by Jamaicans that are near-impossible to define with any precision. Such phrases are really only understood by Jamaicans who have had a lifetime of practical experience in their use. “Soon come” is the perfect example. (The Trinidadian equivalent, by the way, is "Just now") The phrase can be used in a variety of ways. So, if the credit card company calls about an unpaid bill, your simply saying: "Ah soon come down dere wid the cheque. I going to the bank right now" may give you another day or two to play with. (Depending on how often you've used "soon come" before, that is.) If your irritated wife calls your cell phone at 1am while you're at the bar playing dominoes, a simple "Soon come baby. I jus’ about to give dem bwoy yah six-love" should give you at least another hour's grace. Why? Because, instead of giving a precise time you used the much more vague “soon come” which just means “I’ll be home long before you make a firm decision to divorce me”. If, however, you had said “I will be home in twenty minutes” and then showed up an hour later you would certainly have been in serious trouble.

As you can see from the examples above, the beauty (and danger) of "soon some" is that it is notoriously non-specific, immensely imprecise and exceptionally hard to define.

Just having fun man. No one knows the exact hour but it will come like a thief in the night.

The MPC Ren has been out approx 1 year. And since it's release, 3 months is the longest we had to wait for any update. If Akai keeps up this pace...that would mean an update within the next month or so....let's keep our fingers crossed.

The Ren didn't encounter any delays. It was announced at Winter Namm 2012 (Jan 2012) with a shipping date of Summer 2012. It was released in Aug/Sept 2012. :hmmm:
