The page was pulled.

looks like they will announce that in NAMM in cali.. i think.

I saw it earlier. Looks just like the mv8k except it's sporting a new color display and has a few new added features. It still has the same core sampling engine though and a few new additional soundsets added as well. And it still has that 40 gig hd, big deal. I thought it was going to be the shhhhhhh*t...like it was going to be able to fly us to the moon or something. Just joking guys...it looked nice though.

that's it? nothing too special IMO.......how much for it? man, for that price you can get a korgpadkontrol or mpd 24.........ableton live 6.....a decent audio interface........a decent laptop with dual core.........some plugins.....and still have money for records.

but that screen does look like they just put fl on.....

hey contra.....are you the same contra from the ableton boards?

Guys don't trip I was talking to the owner of Forat (Bruce) and he said Akai's coming out with a new MPC 4000 in SPRING of this year.
