Donating Pot For Final MPC 5000 OS Update!

...5000 is way bot enough, i'm afraid....even if you'd find another freak like jj, that's just peanuts....

darn, there's no thumbs up smiley

bot or not, we're at 500 now!

I could spare a 100$. But I need quality! Especially after asking to pay for something that we shouldn't need to pay for

if this is still going then I'll put 100 in. brings the total to 700.

Does it have to be good pot?

I'm sure that that num would be 10x just within these forums and 100x within small number reached outside. Hell, depending on feature set, I could see 5k prices rising, with me even likely buying another one back lol

i think it will be better pay for an hacker

a hooker even......an x akai employee whos also a hacker and a hooker....

To be quite honest. Akai owes an OS update to all us early adopters. The least they could do is fix the bugs in OS 2.0. We paid well over 1,000.00 for a pice of gear that they refuse to fix. As long as Akai treats its customers like this, I'll never buy another pice of gear from them.

I'm going to buy a Linn Drum 2 if it ever comes out and give a big
To Akai.

You're not alone in this line of thinking. I'm not exactly there. I still use the 5000 constantly. And although I was fortunate not to experience a lot of the issues that others report, things like midi timing annoys the heck out of me - so I'd love to see an update too. I still believe there's so much potential left on the table with the 5000.

But again, understand the frustration. Their development cycle is just too short. A couple of years on a project and they're on to something new. Suppose it's not much different from other hardware vendors though.

Would be freakin AWESOME to see a new hybrid MPC come out though. Wishful thinking, but would be nice!!!!

Sad, but true: We won't get an update from Akai by Akai on their own, that's why I've opened this thread as a donating place to pay the programmer on our behalf. This may be the only chance we have left regarding the 5000.

Its a bit sad true....BUT you can always just go straight for the bullseye and grab a 4k.There will be many years of very interesting discoveries and then many,many,many years more of them after that.

edit- its by far the better machine.Just a bit bigger......

Remark by Mark"MK Dub"Kinchen during a interview: NI Maschine as a standalone in the works.

This is enough reason for Numark to wake up!

That should do it!

I'd drop $200 on a production of an OS very similar to a JJOS for the 5K, not an Akai-esque OS but JJ-esque, yes.
