the point is that many customers need a restoration file or Akai lock that file to avoid edit or delete. But most of all, AKAI must make a formal apology for causing this confusing


And will you also apologize for being a moron that you deleted the content in the frist place without researching? :nod:

In fairness I can understand your frustrated when your €700 machine is basically a paperweight because akai failed to tell you not to fuc with the internal drive lol. :lol:

I dont know, if you ask me, its a given you shouldn't mess with the stuff included on it. That would be like going through and cleaning out your Xbox's internal filesystem or hacking your Switch to remove channels you dont want or something.

You bought the MPC and it's meant to be used the way it is, you're not really supposed to go inside and modify it unless they explicitly tell you its allowed. Thats why you have an SD card slot, an internal hard drive bus, etc.. And why they recommend you not save stuff to the internal storage space. Its not the earlier MPC's that came with optional content discs you didn't have to use if you didn't want to. Its baked into the system and you're generally not supposed to mess with that stuff.

My Suggestion would be to leave it alone. The Internal Storage is too fragile in my opinion. You cant even access it from outside the unit.

SD Cards and SSD Drives are Dirt Cheap right about now.

You'll thank us later

I attribute this way of thinking to a few things.

Stuck in the old way of doing things.

Simply not understanding/knowing.

“No-brainer” attitude (I hate this one).

Hardheaded people who don’t wanna heed advice (even when it’s documented and proven you’ll likely have problems if you go through with it), saw advice, still didn’t give a flowers.

Everyone who “deletes” factory content is in one or more of these groups whether they wanna be or not, reality dictates that, yes, you are there..

First and foremost the way he handled things with the service rep is at the least questionable. If you want people to help you out your better off not acting like a tool. But as said I can understand his frustration, afaik Indonesia isnt a really wealthy country and this purchase probably is the equivalent of a few month salaries there.

Second, not everyone is tech heavy and reads thru pages of forums and reviews before they purchase equipment. A little warning from akais side could have prevented lots of bad feelings towards them.

Just need to set the record straight: Akai does NOT send the MPC (Live/X) Factory Content restoration file link with any sort of disclaimer at all. The only instructions I got was how to install it, and that's it. At least, this is how it was exactly 6 months ago (I received the MPC Live MK1 restoration file on March 12, 2020).

I fall into two of these categories:

Stuck in the old way of doing things: used to delete all the files of my MPC1000 and just add my own samples to it.

Simply not understanding: when I deleted all the files off my MPC Live in the beginning, I didn’t realize the file structuring of the newer MPCs.

Hey, I did it and it hasn’t stopped me from still sitting in front of that seven-inch screen and making the most “mediocre” same flips ever! LOL!

Cannot be returned this unit...
I've been chatting with Akai's customer support staff for the last two days and I'll let you know when it's back to normal.
Thanks

Nope!! Absolutely not gonna apologize.

Do you decide any action after looking at the problems that will occur by touching electronic equipment first?
I think you look into it carefully first and then buy the product.. wow.. so. impressively wise genius..

Please keep a life which have to go through everything around you, If you don't want to be a moron like me :Sigh: :Sigh:
