Haha, you've seen some of the replies in here. Whilst I'm prefectly happy to sit back and wait and use my MPC in the mean time, others don't seem quite so patient

relax everyone. if you can recall a few years ago, akai japan filed bankrupt. right before jack o'donnel bought the US distribution. there is nothing to worry about. akai is still in existence. why do you think japan changed their website from akaipro.jp to akai-pro.jp everything is still a go. the EWI4000s is a product thats already around. it's a flute/wind type midi controller. i would not read more into this. it is more than likely chapter 11 which is the type of bankruptcy that involves reorganization. (which IS happenning) just because a company files bankruptcy, doesn't mean it closed.

Sparq, what about the Japanese MPC design team, they still work there or are they a victim of this reorganization?

I spoke with Akai Japan today. Talked to a real nice guy on the phone. The good news: It's coming! The bad news. Gonna be a bit more of a wait.
He said that OS 2 will be released after NAMM. Either late Jan or early Feb.

If this is true, I can't believe it. Six months ago, i paid nearly 1000 Bucks for the MPC and now I have to wait another 1 1/2 months... :evil: :x

Just because I spent my money six months ago on akai, well that does not mean, I don't have to right to own the os by that point of time. I'd also payed the **** bucks for that same machine! ...and everybody knows, that this os is necessary + overdue.

that's what i don't understand.... you mentioned it's overdue. how is that? if it was never brought to the boards a couple of months ago, everyone would have just found out about it a few weeks ago. so how is it overdue? like i said, when we bought our 1k when we did, there was nothing in the box from akai stating ...we promise new features to all those who bought this machine.

and six months ago no one even knew about what's going to be on the new OS. in fact, six months ago there was no proof a new OS would be coming at all, other than what was in scratch magazine back in february. so we have to wait, so what.





don't go there.

well akai did tell us all via email to check the site over the next two months (two months ago) and expect the os sometime.
they didn't give a specific date and they didn't say it was definately going to be released. i.e. learn to never trust expected release dates

These Japanese shops say the BK's come standard with the 128MB (not option). That partly explains the difference in price:
