Akai needs to be on that dam firmware and software updates.

Yeah looks like they focused on other thing's.


Thing's probably been cooking for a while.
Gotta remember: companies like these need to be generating revenue (not to sound like I know much about business world but just a hunch), and I'd guess this, if priced right, is going to rake in some sweet cash from all the FL users of the world who've never had a dedicated controller.

Ni a-25 or something it’s like 150 bucks real basic but I’m thinking if it’s usb powered and has midi over usb like the key step, that the 8 knobs would come in handy as well as other features it offers. Scales/chords, a real pitch wheel, etc

It’s really smart There are tons of do studio users looking for just that type of thing.

They mentioned 2.3 update will have marketing and something with a third party. Lately they’ve been working with reason and now to studio it’s a good sign. I think something got messed up with ableton after the first push was designed by akai.

Smart move. My son gave me his Live after getting into FL Studio. Those FL kids are going to eat this controller up. It’s a win, win to keep AKAI lucrative. Not everyone can afford MPC’s.. Got to keep the money coming in somehow. I’m willing to bet now that there are more FL users than there are strictly MPC users. Smart move.
