And they call themselves Akai Professional. This is a VERY unprofessional move.
If the Software/Hardware company that I worked for removed the 1 and only communication line from it's customers... all hell would break loose
It's good to know that the new Akai does not care to find bugs in the MPC 4000.
As in the past, they haven't been very good at catching them, themselves and have had
to rely on their end users to point out there programming mistakes. Now that they've indicated that they do NOT care which bugs are found and how they affect their end users, I have to seriously reconsider any furture purchases.
I did just confirm that [email protected] is bouncing back.

Thanks for the feedback bleepfreak !
Have they pushed the self destruct button? it's very worrying indeed that the last link between akai and their customers has been removed !
AS for the wish list is it still worth updating it since we can't send it to anyone anyway ?
SAMPLER
- Intellisampling.
- EQ on mixer page.
- Sample loop lenght destination in the modulation matrix for granular synthesis and granular fx.
- more mod destinations (filt env and aux anv l1, l2, l4; lfo 1&2 beat.
- More start points in sample edit (that's cool i could see that one as a good alternative to choping samples, instead of choping loops you could just set startpoints and just assignthe same sample on the pads but with a differents startpoint for each of them !)
- An auto pad assign function for editted samples.
- Auto assign to whole keyspan/or to the next available/white note.
- More filters.
- Stream samples from hard drive.
- Edit sample original note by midi keyboard and access to original note in Ak-sy.s.
- Lock loop lengh in sample loop page.
- Different roll types, maybe customizable.
- Chord Memory (Assign multiple notes to a pad for 1 finger chord triggering)
- Time Line Grid in trim & region window (4 8 16 32 64th)
- One shot loop mode ( play/stop with the pads )
- Better FX algorythm.
SEQUENCER
- Randomise by +/- 0-127 of current value in the velocity multiedit window.
- Splitting function for drum tracks.
- Possibility to select not only contiguous events in seq/step edit.
- Possibility to set different lengh for each track.
- 8 tracks of hard disk recording or RAM based recording.
- Cut note length graphicaly.
- The ability to hold down "rec" in the main mode, and step in your pad events, and use the transport buttons to advance, and add rests.
exactly like the mpc2000xl.
- Access to data in step edit / seq edit when the sequencer is running.
- TC window pad / time field monitoring during playback.
- TC window should retain selection Range and Pad/Notes selection when you access the TC window from seq edit, like added in 1.6 for the Copy To function and is also available for the EDIT functions in seq edit.
- Ability to record solo's.
- Groove templates.
- From MAIN, Track window : COPY track also to another sequence.
- Move Seq loop via Shift+Locate.
Shift+ Bar: >> << = moves "loop
Shift + Step:>> << = Moves "loop-points.
- Song mode : Create a song in real time by using the "Next Sequence" feature.
- Import midi file into TRACK as well as sequence.
- Mute memory, so you could set up 'gang mutes triggered in real time by the mpc's pads.
copying parts of a bar for an entire sequence (ie: from 001:02:000 to 002:03:000 - we been talkin bout it quite some time ago ... sometime last year!)
- tc-wndow: if tc is set to off - allow higher numbers to be inserted for shift amount (currently the maximum is a 1/16!) would be dope to be able to shift timing a shift amount of at least 1-2 bars (why not unlimited?).
- For the tc 1/4 (3), 1/4 and 1/2 (3) and so on were dope to be added ... must even be easy to implement that sorta things - its only different numbers to be applied - algorythm is already there!
MISC
- Save entire projects in a ".prj" file.
- Recyclysh chop system.
- full featured Ak-sys software (edit sequence/data/events etc...)
- Screensaver.
- Support 1gb ram (we can dream .
- full parameter list describtion (hz, mscecs values, ... for cutoff, lfos, and so on ...)
- Empty default programs with values on reset position and possibility to store template programs.
- Q-link: show the actual value of the q-link.
- Audition sample from ext hard drive/load page while sequence playing.
- Move folders in hard drive and Ak-sys.
- Apple loops/acid/rex import.
- User Definable shortcuts via SHIFT + F1-6 soft-keys per window/mode.
- Arpeggiator.
- Mixer and Pad to have their own Midi Channel number and Midi CC chart.
- Solo per sample/sound.
- In TC window/Swing humanize note funtion.
- Burn as audio on cd/zip/etc
FIX
- When sample(s) are setup in Program to play 'Note Off' in the 'play trigger' screen, if you then hit 16 Levels you'll notive that with 'Note Off' selected you can't activate Tuning. only the Velocity setting works.
- "Add to program” and “copy to pad” make the destination pad audible and visually display the destinations pad sound name.
- Separate “Pad Bank” buttons status from “ Program -Mute Mode & Seq Trigger” button status, so each pad status/mode will be individual from eachother.
- After recording in SEQ EDIT, the click still carrys on even after stoping the rec mode
- phunk - could you please ad them or some of them?
