One day, I loaded 2.8 back...And Boy...I appreciate the "Changes" they made...Good and Bad lol

#progression


the progression within 2.x has been good; nobody took issue with the progress within 2.x OS.

People are taking issue with some of the changes from 2.x to 3.x; some the 3.x changes seem ill advised.

ITs All Trial n Error. We were the Beta Testers. Now they're hastily pushing the New Firmware/Software prematurely. Bcz Time is Money lol

I wish Akai & other companies would be more open about that. In the 3.4.3 update video the Crates Motel did, Akai kinda admitted that it's still in beta. I do like that they are still supporting a 8 year old unit & even the the Force, which hasn't been updated since Nov 2023, but still way more stable than MPC 2&3.

I still think MPC 3 at the moment on this gen is just a bonus OS to test new features to get feedback to know how they should build the gen. Time will tell...

I think they did tell us lol. They released the "Public Beta MPC 3 Firmware" before the Official MPC 3

Yeah, but they claimed the current version is officially out at NAMM, but it's not according to that Conan video. Plus you can argue that that Force is a beta product to test out MPC3. Even MPC2 seem like an ongoing beta OS with all the bugs.

as a 2.x holdout.. the 3.x release has been great for my MPC mental health.
knowing that they are abandoning 2.x updates... I never again will have to doublecheck their ridiculous patch note spew to verify basic functions every few weeks.
I can just get comfortable with the quirks and have no more monkey on my back about "maybe they'll fix/change X next round"

the additions in 3 just ain't worth the 'price' ;)

The problem is, you lost all credibility when you lumped people in with "MPC loyalists" and "YouTubers" just because they don't agree with you. :nod: The truth of the matter is: the current-gen MPC's are pretty much the best MPC's ever made, as they can do far more than any MPC before them. But as has already been pointed out, you can always stick to old MPC's if that's your thing.

Yeah yeah, great great... the funny part is ye is gonna come back and lead the way for mfs to be offensive and rude again. None of y'all are doing it. You just fall in line and change your tune to fit in. LITERALLY. Most of you don't even know who you are let alone encompass the courage to be highly unpopular publicly for your ideas even if they are extremely warped or dark. I like anyone who has the courage to say "i said what i meant and im not sorry." i'd rather someone offends me directly and is blunt about it then pretends to be a decent person but is secretly plotting against you. None of us are free from sin not a single one ours just arent public. If ye raped kids or something i wouldnt be so keen to defend him but he didnt and doesnt. He's not diddy, he's not r kelly. -He clearly is tripping balls on some really dark shit though... but that's not enough for me to hate somebody or to destroy their character. Would you want me to turn my back on you when the world is against you? Is that what good people do? We shame people and destroy them rather than help them or be a friend in their darkest times and they are all alone? You guys really show your character sometimes when to judge others about their piddly offenses. I wouldnt want to be down with any of you you're cop callers.

snow flakes being triggered by Kane is weak asf;

kayne has been shock jock for some time, so people should know what to expect from dude at this point, I dont care much about anything a celebrity says.

respectfully; there is something pathetic about men having such emotional reactions to a next mans opinions, dat shit is minor.
