anyone NOT tried os 3.0?

no, not when they implement protection, i don't think they will do that. when they add the same features as 3.0, thats when i want to watch you eat your boot.now that everyone knows what the 1k is capable of they kind of have to add those features. and i doubt they are done with the 2500 either. sparq seems to think the same and the way he is laying low these days, i wouldn't be surprised if we got hit with somethin big again sometime soon.

THANK YOU.

Cats are quick to take a chance and mess up their costly machines at the hands of unsigned code.

ie. my xbox,

I'm with you guys on this.

so you haven't upgraded to 3.0 yet? if not, please re-install 2.1 and tell me how many files it copies. thanks. i just want to make sure that 3.0 didn't leave anything on my machine when i went back to 2.1

Para-philliac

also, I notice it's the older generation who aren't so keen on
renegade OS

interesting observation. i think i'm in the clear and won't be trying anything unless its from akai in the future.

Also we should be sure that this OS when released is rock solid. we don't want to pay a guy then he drops off the face of the planet and we sit with residing bugs because if he disappears who will clean up ??
we need support for at least 6 to 12 months that is more than enough time to make this a successful OS, because it sure will have bugs on the first full public release, once we paid we want a little support

Also this can only boost Akai sales it cannot damage them since there is hardware attached to the deal, unlike software they loose all the way Akai can only make money from it.

On the other hand i would not be surprised if it was some sideline plot from Akai to get some money from there 1K customers , i mean think about it if Akai publicly said we give you these features for a price , no matter what clients would **** and moan and so would their 25K users and it will look bad since their clients have made a investment in Akai now they must pay again,
so why not make it look like a side line development, put a few members of the core team on it and release it this way. nice and quietly and people think they score all the way to the bank as they only had to pay $30 and got a hardcore update if people were asked to pay Akai $30 for a update they would not be happy, because they would feel they deserve the update.

my 2 cents

bro u think too much

He has a point though

Well i run a business that's how i think sometimes lol

if i was in Akai,s position (not doing to well) i would do this to boost revenue

because 6 month and not a single bug fix is of extremely low standard.


seriously, a sampler drum machine which amp eveloppe does not even work properly... what kind of sick joke is that ?


while waiting for os2.1 someone intelligent said "a good os is a stable os". i still stand this ground. if the third party os is more stable than akai own software, i will use the third party.

i lost any kind of respect for akai. until they sort ou their huge internal issues. until that happen, i'll be looking forward cowbells and distortedtekno new photoshop jobs

but i still strongely hope that akai will become again a company whose customers can be proud off.

(but i would beware a bit of new akai os. they may be able to add a protection against third party os.)

whats wrong with Sparq though??Is he mad at Nym or sumthing Dude just stopped coming through

Jacpot and Ant-
i've been around. i've just been busy with the endeavors that i'm into. ie - my label and recording studio. doing alot of paperwork and legal work. been busy promoting myself and others and started a new daytime job. from time to time, i've popped back in here to check in on everyone.

Jacpot - there's nothing wrong with me and i'm not mad at Nym. why would i be?

Spirez - i will always be around here. i'm never too far from what's going on, on these boards. so for me to come back with a reply..... here it is.






Now, back to the regularly scheduled topic....

before 2.1 was publically released back in january, there was an os floating around... i think by the same person who did this one. i don't remember. anyway, there was a lot of talk of what that os could do. for those who were around at that time, my question to you is are you still using it or did you revert to the official akai release of 2.1? and if you did use it and switched to the akai one, why did you switch. the point i'm trying to make is that akai is still developing updates for the 1000 so i will wait for their release. but everyone has to realize, the 1000 is not akai's only product. they have many other products that they have to spend time with. this guy who did this "new" os, is probably focusing ONLY on the 1k which means he/she could put in more time with updates.

i digress, earlier i said that will not use this update.... well i probably would if akai ever stop supporting the 1k with future updates. then and only then would i use it.

Sparq, good to hear you been keepin the ball rollin with everything. As always, best of luck. You're making things happen!

As far as the beta are concerned, I've been upgrading regulary, but not having the time to go through everything. So I keep an eye on these threads to know what to look for. I'll continue spending some time experimenting. In my opinion, I doubt there would be any damage to the hardware. So far there have been no reports of any damage, which led to my confidence in these new betas. When Akai release a new OS, hopefully it will contain all these features (as well as fixing the exisiting bugs). Until then, I'm having fun experimenting and atleast trying to keep up with everything.

Yall actin like we gettin neglected....how bout the 4k and 2kxl users...


Either way I still haven't tried the 3.0 joint, if he can't still fix the zone/slice function, and project load is still ucked up, I have no use for it.

conspiracy theory:

i think Akai has assigned a team of programmers (the 'A'-team? ) to the 1k project, releasing betas left, right and centre, using Akai MPC Forums to find bugs and new feature suggestions. they claim they are a third party, and will therefore be charging $30 when the final release is done. however, when the final release IS done, Akai will release the renegade os (after having the gui altered to look more like their traditional format) and of course it will be free!! so they will be the apple of every 1k owner's eye again.

tru man im doin tha same thing i dont wanna risk my mpc , keep it safe and wait for akai's version , even tho there's goin to be bugs , still worth goin through akai's version cuz u dont know who programs the system.

tp sparq about the mpc 3k loosin support , i hope they dont do it with the mpc 1000 , then i'll get hella pissed haha
