What Vintage Synth Emulations Should Akai Add Next?

Well technically I'm just a ghost writer. Of their lyrics. Here's a selfie while working on a new song. As you can see all their former lyrics are there as well:

I'd rather put money into a new VST than just sample. Because for now I am satisfied with Fabric XL ... I will wait and hope

KEY61 can be the future of Nord stage

I bet you do have the skills. I play piano too (try at least), but I think Piano, Organ and Clavinet are totally different animals.

Anyway, I would never ever ever replace a Nord Stage with MPC's Stage Piano. Stage EP, maybe, but Piano never.

Those lyrics are iconic! Your writing so much from another dimension that I can't even see them

Yet I did. I replaced my NS2 on stage with the KEY61.

There is better and less good. but overall I'm happy and my back says thank you for the 8 kg of the key61

Now that Moog is under InMusic which Moog synth would you like Akai to make next?
Also, do you think they could make a better Mini D, not saying that it needs a remake, if they work together?

"Novation X-station".
It's digital of the 90s, so definitely takes a fraction of MPC cpu power.
Excellent synth with many tweaking possibilities, good modulations, LFOs, arp, great for sync evolving sounds.

"Thor", "Maelstrom" from Reason.
Best synths on computers.

Moogerfooger!!!!!!!!!

ARP 2600
Roland SH-201
Oberheim OB-xa

I doubt they'd do the SH-201, as other plugins that can approximate the sound, but the 2600 and OB-xa would be a great addition to the MPC plugins sonic palette.

InMusic owns a 2600 clone. I don't know why they haven't put it out for the MPC & Force.

I'm guessing the complications of 83 patchable input and outputs with the graphical limitations of the MPC may be an issue.

I have Cheery Audio's version and it imitates the cables running from point to point, but if the interface is split across multiple screens, I can't see that working. A matrix style would need about 40x40, which wouldn't fit a screen.

Not sure how you would do it and make it clear, unless you didn't and just had drop down list of available options, then highlight it's been patched.

as usual, take it with a grain of salt:

image embedding doesn't work for some reason :/

EDIT 2:
well... it seems that my entire tinypic account was nuked after this upload, there was nothing bad there apart of my profile pic and screenshots that I usually post here
anyway, the screenshot I've linked, amongs well known synths, shows several new synth names:

MPC: Juniper
MPC:MemoryMoog
MPC:ProV
MPC:Andromeda
MPC:CS80
MPC:FarfisaCompact
MPC:VoxContinental

this potentially could refer to vst counterparts, some legacy templates/libraries or...

I wonder if that takedown means anything lol

There's a Soundpaint format samples of Jupiter 8 called Juniper, released a couple of moths ago, and a CS80 coming out in July. If a couple of moths after that we see another synth from your list that might indicate a collaboration happening. Both of these come in UDS 'Ultra Deep Sampling' format, which is too heavy for the MPC, but also apparently with a lighter version.

Interesting, need to have a look
