I guess E A Ski was friends with Andy Mac for years even had him on some of his songs.
EA Ski is saying AKAI has done well workflow and product design but we deserve better "sound converters." 
Others(Mpc Gang) are saying Shut up and take what you get.
EA Ski is also kinda pissy about this being the MPC 35 year anny and Rodger Linn is still cut out of his legacy. Said they are going to have a stream together talking about it.
WIN WIN for us if they make enough stink we get better stuff... if not we just get the same shit.. which aint that bad anyways.
Tbh I think the whole situation it's a bit childish.
Blocking people on IG because they expressed their thoughts in a public platform vs ranting daily about some shit a company sells and the truth that everbody needs to ear. I mean, wtf. But he's probably right about the sound. Idk, never had an old MPC, I'll take his word. I also think a lot of people talk about sound without having a clue about what they're saying and would probably fail a blind test.
Akai is gonna do what they're gonna do and won't give a f. They obviously don't like to be critized. But being fair to them, Iamsight bashed the MPC Studio MK2 and still got an X SE.
It's also f'ing stupid to pretend they didn't hype people about this. "Oh the youtubers, the community". Bullshit.
"35 years, wooo woooo. Here you go, a Timbaland Live II rip off and an X with a paint job".
Still, saying shut up and take what you get is f'ing dumb. Bunch of fanboys and shills. I don't get the concept of sucking a brand's dick. I mean value your money, make sure you get a product good enough for your hard earned cash. Companies aren't imune to criticism. Guys like that deserve to get capitalism rammed up their ass. I wish Akai took notice of what we actually say and provide some customer service. I mean, I bought a One, then got a Live, now I'm getting a 2500. I obviously like the brand and have 0 issues with giving them money. If they listened, I would give them MORE money.
I think the Roger Linn criticism is fair. I mean, the man invented the thing. Talking about the MPC legacy is talking about him. I mean, who tf is Andy Mac in this equation?
All of this sounds fake and full of ego shit. I think if they make enough stink we're gonna be exactly the same. Akai is gonna keep doing what they want. People are gonna be mad, people are gonna be super happy and that's it. I mean what does EA Ski think? That Akai is gonna change their strategy because of his videos? They're gonna call him and say, "Man you're right, run this for us". They're a company, period.
And again, the man is probably right. But we live in a "for profit" world. Obviously Akai will create and market stuff for the bedroom producer. Like me and most of us. The world changed, tech changed.
