I don’t see how y’all can have ANY faith that 2.9 or 3.0 will be ANYthing other than a debacle like 2.8.1 was. And y’all want them to add MORE on top of that nonsense? This company ignored its customers when they released a crap update that broke stuff, didn’t address it publicly, AND never issued an emergency fix to get people back working again on the latest version. But y’all want more non-essential stuff added???

I just want them to fix the 2.8.1 mess.

The only Thing i wish for is a Better Timestretch Algorithm in Standalone. But I know that cant happen with the Current Hardware Structure.

So are you saying THERE NEEDS TO BE A NEW MPC? :smoker: With a NEW structure?

Of Course! Its about due. Akai has manufactured a new unit for Every Affordable Price Range, with some sort of Neutered Feature Set.

Now its time for Another Full Fledged Flagship Unit. Hopefully with A Design Team thats NOT concerned with the Politics of makin it Economical for Corporate Profits.

Back to The Drawing Board Specs. Filled to the Brim with Features. So they can then put out more Scaled down versions of itself in the Coming Years!

:worthy: l agree!

First setup to have a serious beta setup, and able to tackle BUGS quickly!

1. Start from the ground up!
2. Come with a mother board that will have attachments that are OPTIONAL no more it's set like this or that.
3. Come with 16Gigs of ram optional up to 128Gigs. Use DDR3/4 ram and be able to apply on that chipset.
4. HDMI port on the back to add amy size screen you want. Don't need touch scrren.
5. Mouse enabke for those that want it.
6. Disk streaming.
7. Dope mic pre amps and converters. With +48 Phantom power.
8. USB slots.
9. Get with with a few top level companies like Spectrasonics to get a scaled down version of Omnisphere 2. Eric Persing would jump all over that.

I'll leave space for others to add. This coulf be the center of one's studio. I would buy into that! More DAW like standalone.

I'd subtract.

What you described would be the X MK2. Remove the HDMI, mouse support & mic pres for the Live MK3 version, and I'd be all over it.
