I'm not talking about other products but every new "MPC product" that's in the pipeline.

Seems that they're very lucky to get a lot of online attention without any effort.

Or is it the viral marketing 3.0 :wink:

its great marketing but even if they kept it quite and launched at black friday the forum goers would still be up on it; as would the casuals

I know, but on socials, there will be plenty of other noise on BF, so they got a good start before the others.

I'm convinced these leaks were intentional by Akai. They read these forums and have seen other leaks here. So that made them realize that settng up a leak can bring a good amount of excitement. The fact that the MPC Live is a standalone justifies an exciting ad campaign, and staging a leak is pretty clever advertising.

It's not a leak! Its some paper work they had to file in America, probably by law, because it has WIFI which is public record. The same as mobile phones, laptops.... anything that has WIFI. Stop making it out to be more than it is!

Yeah, I seriously doubt it is a leak. Akai usually puts up a teaser and builds up hype by stating that on a certain date they will announce a game changing new product. Remember the build up to the announcement of the MPC Element? That was crazy. We were expecting a game changing new product and received a recycled MPC Fly:)

The buzz is high. Hope it's released soon before it dies down like the 2.0 software that hasn't released yet.

has anyone heard anything real about the MPC eclipse? Some one wrote a whole article about it with no actual info. Did I miss something?

could you explain this to me? maybe it's because my first mpc is the ren and i do some things on software, but i rarely use them
