Actually looks legit, isn't Alto Music an established retailer? Might have to sue for stealing the MPC Sample name though....

From the photo, it definitely has a very TEMU-like vibe. But if it’s being sold by ALTO Music, it might very well be legit.

I think it is real, why would anyone trying to trick us put the knob’s of the 2000, the fader from the 1000, the look of the 60, and it has a button for flex beat.. I think they just are trying to make what some have said they wanted, a stripped back, no touch screen, simple mpc with no downloaded content or anything.. this must be the thing that guy said would come a long time ago. Remember when someone was saying they were working on a cheap portable simple mpc?

Looks like it's aiming for the TE "EP" series users.
ANYONE can say Akai is working on something, and, be, right.
Go ahead, try it, you'll be right.
Have you noticed it's the same color scheme as MPC XL
w/ a dash of TE EP series styling/coloring?
Laughing my ass off at the wrist pads, why though, MPC One didn't get them.

This may possibly be the weirdest Akai leak of all time.
Gotta be AI, my head hurts trying to figure this "thing" out.

The knobs don't look to be in line with th series. They are only 3 instead of 4 oddly labelles K1 to K3.
And IMHO the display seems to be photoshopped (unless the whole thing isn't AI generated).

Looks legit to me, especially the screen which looks taped on.

definitely not an AI, those are diffusion models meaning they start with random white/gaussian noise and iteratively blur/denoise it into a final image. Because they start with random noise, by definition they're unable to create two near identical images with exact same size/proportion elements. If this image is artificial then it's rather a near perfect render (maybe) than AI. Now, speaking of proportions, I have taken some measurements based on original part dimensions (pot and mpc1000 fader cap) and based on that I came up with other dimensions for buttons, pads, screen etc... It seems that all the proportions of the elements are kept between different images (again, very hard to achieve with AI) and are matching their real life counterparts down to 1-2mm.
here's the website where you can upload an image and measure elements of the image based on scale of your first measurement:
https://eleif.net/photomeasure#
insert 20mm as the length of MPC1000 fadercap and everything else will be measured based on that dimension.
don't know what to think about it, it does have some "toys r us" qualities to it, no FCC means it's not an emmiter and does not have any antennas (BT/WIFI), also they weren't mentioned in the specs neither. Granted, it's much thinner but only roughly 70mm smaller footprint in comparison to mpc one shouldn't be a dealbreaker especially that it will run handicapped OS, will have the price of used ONE and will be more expensive than Sonicware, Roland and even T.E.
