For the people backing up something you don't even have (2.0), and perpetrating people becuase they care, causing internet drama, being E-THUGS... stfu
btw, this is not pillage

Your right, everyone gets upset but only a FEW have called and took action.

what exactly is akai doing to make you say that?

My biggest problem is that THEY Said(This is what an AKAI rep told me when I ordered my HDM-10) OS 2.0 will be released just check the website) That is cool. But why cant a company just tell us when wil they release it instead of all of the games. I bet if they were selling the OS they would tell the date and time it is going to drop.

If word of mouth is some of the way gear is sold, Akai is hurting themselves this way.

One day someone in one of the trade magazines is going to write an article that is going to sting akai.

But maybe the trade magazines have a PERSONAL relationship with AKAI


Question for SPARQ... Yes/NO answer

ARE U A BETA TESTER FOR AKAI?

if you feel that you have that many problems with akai that you need a thread to vent, just sell all of your akai gear and you won't have to worry about akai anymore. if it's to complain about the 1k os, no one still haven't told me where akai officially promised anything more than what the original 1k can do. as far as the blk 1k, and why it's still not released in more places than japan, again, that's akai's M.O. to start selling in japan b4 anyplace else. that's how akai has done with all of their products. i've never known akai to have simultaneous release dates for both here and in japan.

We would be allowed to VENT if our current OS had bugs.

That is a customer support issue.

Akai would release an OS to fix it.


I bought the 1000 in good faith from akai and I love the machine.

I did not know the machine could do more that was originally advertised.
(Hell I did'nt know it had a HD slot)

Then U posted the "THIS IS BANANAS THREAD" and I was like damn the 1000 can do so much more.

U bet that AKAI knew about what the machine could do beyond the current OS and to not let the consumer know is deceitful.

So for the consumer, who is waiting for this OS that only TRUE contact with what is going is with a forum where other consumers are not allowed to talk about the flaws in customer service, I just don't think that is right.

The MPC series is industry standard.

I have been doing beats and seqences on the MPC series since 1994 and I don;t understand why things are the way they are.

I believe you work for AKAI and you want to be credible as a source on this forum. (I don't have a problem with that.)

I just think that you should use your PERSONAL relationship with AKAI to let them know that at least one of their LOYAL CUSTOMERS is extremly UPSET.

First it was going to be the first week of November. Then it was the first week of December. And we're still waiting for it and we keep getting told to check the site in the next couple weeks and we might like what we see, etc. So I'd say that's a good reason to be pissed. If AKAI was a little more straight forward and said it would be out sometime early 2006 I think that would have kept people more chill.

ok, i feel you on that. so why doesn't anyone call akai. and i'm not just talking about speaking to a sean shay type of person. i mean call them and ask to speak to a supervisor and then ask to speak to that person's supervisor. keep going until you finally speak to someone about the situation.

Since you have a PERSONAL REALATIONSHIP with someone @ AKAI who has detailed information about the new OS. Why don't you drop his or her phone number to us so we can VENT and save the INTEGRITY of this forum.

NO. akai has no public beta testers.

Yeah,but well... you know...i heard of some rumours that the OS will even take away bad breath !!

Sure akai knew about what the machine could do (regarding the hard drive) as with any hardware/software company, always looking ahead. they probably work a way to implement a drive but at that time didn't finish writing the code (in the os) necessary to make it work. or they probably knew they were going to release a different model (2500) when they designed the 1000 and stated they will implement the hard drive feature when they release the new model (2500), who knows?
i don't think that's deceitful. i think that's planning for the future. they never told us when we (for most of us who bought it back then) first bought our 1k's that anything more would come so they didn't deceive us in any way.

i agree 100%, that akai should have given a definitive date as to the release. and not just say, check the website. and i think that is because the people that were asked didn't know or couldn't tell. either way, we are not getting ripped off because we are not and have not paid for this OS so if akai decided to just say forget it and cancel the release of OS2.0 we are still not getting ripped off.

that's cool, i've addressed this on many different occassions, i am not employed by akai but as many times that i have addressed and stated such, there have been many more who thiink i do work for them. so i'll just say this, one last time: I DO NOT WORK FOR AKAI BUT IF YOU (ANYONE) WANT TO THINK THAT THEN FINE, GO AHEAD AND THINK IT. no one knows me from adam. and that's cool.

believe me, i've told akai about people's frustrations here on the boards. i've told them repeatedly and asked if they can address it with more than a boiler plate, cut & paste response.

That's probably the best post I've seen on all this OS 2 crap flying around here. I bought a 1000 a few months ago then found out about this forum. From an outsiders perspective it just looks like a bunch people acting like children having a fit demanding their OS 2 like a kid who sees a toy in a window. I had no idea when I bought my 1000 that another OS was in the works, I bought it simply because I liked the features that it already had and the price was something I could afford.

Now after reading about the new software upgrade I among most others got really excited because it stood to further the use of the machine with features from it's bigger bros but you know what, if they never released it I'd still be cool with my 1000 because the OS on there was what I knew was there from the start. They'll drop it when they are ready to and so to CONSTANTLY complain about Akai's decisions to wait just seems pointless. Make beats and hot tracks and when it drops it drops. Jeez it's just a fukkin sampler software upgrade not the second coming of the messiah.

So flame on I guess, just had to get that out.
