We are getting what we asked for, but is it what we need?

Imagine being at Akai HQ and looking at these people complaining so much but still buy an mpc, why should I even bother to listen to them?
A lot of things people ask are part of the old MPC and everything worked well there right? So why not just use an old MPC?
These new MPC never felt connected beetween the software and the hardware, you can clearly tell who design them was so scared to upset old MPC users so we got this halfbaked product.
I don't check this forum often and when I do it's always the same complaints.
I use my MPC for what it is: a sound source away from a pc. It gives me polyphony and better fx for my Octatrack, that's it. If I want a sampler/main brain I would never look at the new MPC. I even gave up sequencing this shit, I just export stem.

What an absurd logic. So by your token, the users are to blame for AKAI introducing bugs or not fixing their product. As if software tools work perfectly. Tell that to the new users who came to the platform without knowing about the bugs. And no, this forum does not represent the complete AKAI user base, and people do not spend their lives on YouTube, so it is perfectly possible for someone to purchase AKAI gear without knowing about a few bugs.

Look, you go and buy a car. You find something that doesn't work. You go to your neighbor and tell him about it, and he says, "It's your fault". You ask, " how do you mean why?" he says, "it is your fault because you purchased it". Luckily, the market does not work like that.

I am looking to find a way to mute you on this forum. Bye.

Then everyone will see the Strides Akai has made!

thanks for letting us know you have no idea about MPCs or how they are used and what they have done for music the past several decades

please tell me what exactly these new MPCs have done for music? New genre? New way of making music? Revolutionary layout?...?

I wasnt talking about the current MPCs. To me, 3.0 is no longer an MPC. Its a half baked daw in a midi controller

The classic MPC workflow added much much more to music then these things ever will.
