New MPC Device Listed in FCC Database

We are all anticipating our lord and savior Andy Mack to bless us with his blinding presence and make us lust like an unclean Sodomah and Gomorrah sinner after his latest offering.

Well IF theer is something on the horizon there will be 100 official posts and tens of extended youtube presentations from various influencers all at the same time. So do we really need anyone to spy at superbooth for us ?

Yes

Just a quick reminder that it is Thursday today, considering their past release schedule (always on Thursdays) it is a perfect day for an update or to unveil desktop beta programme. Don't count on any HW. Just give it three more hours...

You know it’s getting real here when people start posting biblical.

I bet they don't announce any new hardware this week. They don't want to share the spotlight with everyone else. Plus with tariffs being unpredictable right now, it's hard to launch a new product when you don't know what your costs will be.

Announcement.

"Hey the Force firmware is out now, for you know, the hardware you can't buy anymore, Isn't that cool"

While we wait. The new Moog Messenger released at Superbooth looks and sounds pretty awesome. $899 as well.

As does the new Novation LC XL3, nice companion for an MPC/Force

If new firmware comes to Force, then I be more interested in buying one than say a Live 3. The main reason is Live 3 be more expensive, and well life choices.

Love my Force. Best kit I ever bought. There is a firmware update in private beta for it right now that is meant to drop in May. In many many ways the MPC 3.4 firmware is incredibly similar to Force 3.3. I'm expecting Force 3.4 to bridge the gap. Force doesn't have some of the more recent plugins, or the NI integration.

yeah it's the plugins which has stopped me so far from buying one, once the firmware drops then I be catching one asap. It looks perfect for me, has the workflow I think I probably enjoy more too due to more pads.

Not looking good. Sure we woulda heard sumthin by now, no? Prob just going to be showing off the buggy NOT BETA 3 software

maybe they will make it to where the force can also connect to the desktop software.


but far as superbooth no clips from the akai booth; these channels are all focused on all these random synth booths but none of them have gone over to the akai booth.

yeah, same thoughts here - i thought they would post an fw update, desktop beta or at least in worst case unlock that reverb pro plugin just to stay relevant but it seems that theres nobody to cover it for them as all eyes are on other manufacturers
usually we have something at this time of a day :/

Yup Akai flopped both conventions NAAM and Superbooth
