It's an add-on for the Ren, so you can make your Ren do this

That is what I suggested earlier, an MPC DJ, it was previewed at NAMM 2012.

I think it might be either the MPC DJ, or a new APC.

Whatever it is, I doubt it will be a Renaissance update, and we will be bitching about them again next week.

Don't they build the Push controller though? :hmmm:

I don't know if they've sold many of the APC series since that dropped. Seems like a conflict of interest if they also make a competing product, although I suppose the InMusic brands all make the same types of controllers anyway, so it probably is a new APC.

might be mpc dj, didn't they show that like 2 years ago? Haven't seen it since.

I'm actually hoping its something with 1.7 more stuff they are adding or at least more detailed info, and that wolf graphich hmmm maybe like vstinstrument packs that akai will be offering that integrate with the Ren qlinks and everything, more synths, drum, sample sound packs, etc...

maybe something along the lines like Komplete is a great add-on for MAschine, but I dunno if Akai has the sound designers or developers to pull off what NI did with their Komplete/Kontakt/module type plug in which works great with maschine or any daw, maybe akai has sound vsts, that fit right into the Ren controls, Im thinking a synth or something, could be anything, they don't give enough clues anyways.

It'll take more than wooden end cheeks to make Akai cool. :lol:

tiny bit is operative wording here.:)


5-voice analog drum machine and synth—authentic analog design that references classic rhythm machines and synthesizers

Legendary analog drum sounds—kick, snare, open & closed hi-hat, and metallic percussion

Synth-bass module—selectable square or sawtooth wave with classic filter design for warm, deep basses and squelchy leads.

Onboard 32-step sequencer—classic drum machine workflow for quickly laying down grooves and melodies

Six genuine MPC pads—responsive controls for sequencing and finger drumming
Howl knob—custom distortion circuit for additional sound design

USB-MIDI and MIDI In/Out—flexible MIDI connectivity for easy integration into modern studios
Gate Trigger—triggering via modular synths, vintage sequencers, or external sound sources

Independent audio outputs—dedicated outputs for the drum machine and synth-bass module for precise mixing



they are still playing catch up but atleast its the right direction.
at price of $199 it´s a kick aimed straight at the roland nuts.
all puns intended.
