A 500 with more RAM, some compatibility with modern MPCs and a rechargeable bundled battery (no more AAAs, it's 2026).

It's gonna be fun these 10 days of speculation :mrgreen:

I really hope it is all sample based too. no goofy midi stuff beyond sequencing. It would be so exciting to play with an actual SAMPLER again. A real hardware sampler you/i/we can just rock out on.

I would happy pay its canadian ransom.


Ultros not bitching about a MPC release …. I’m about to pass out

Give it time... the firmware is almost certainly encrypted like the 3/XL... which is bound to be an early criticism and frustration. Not being able to put Hakai firmware on it is bound to get some irritation... :D

Much love Ultros... keep jamming!

I’m convinced he started that whole “problem” to just turn around and sell people a “solution”

He should know why vintage machines sound the way they do and why that isn’t a viable path for modern gear company like Akai. Such a silly frustrating debate

Bingo!
The funny thing is the people who get trapped up in that, beats are that interesting & having a 60/3k or SP12/1200 wouldn't make them better. If you can't get a record, sample & flip it into something dope on a 24bit MPC with all them free FXs, filters & mixing routing options, then it's on you. I hope he made his money. :nod:
