Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

Yeah, good idea to inform JJ about this. Let's see what he says.

For me, what that guy from Akaipro said, makes sense. And JJ's reluctance to make OS for MPC 500 can only confirm their accusations. Apparently he's no source code like he had with 1000's OS. Well, that's what I think after reading their answer. It may be true or it may be false, though.

If what Akai said about JJ is true then JJ is gangsta.

JJ broke the machine on purpose so that people would hate Akai then he sells you the update you were supposed to get for free. LMAO

And everyone loves JJ???

The question is not if the Akai guy is serious... Its if the guy who posted all this is serious. He could of just made all this up...

Im still waiting on my reply from Akai to confirm all this.

And to eimer... There are 2 sides to every story. Who knows JJ might say something completly different.

Just to clear this a bit up:

Chopshop 2.0 on the 500 won't be like on the 5000. Since the display on the 500 is not a graphic one you won't be able to chop the files. That won't be usefull if you can't see the waveform. But it will be able to open and import Chopshop 2.0 files.
It also will support post processs for a software application that will convert REX files to Chopshop 2.0 format.

lol. Funniest thing I read all day lol.

I'm sure that Akai rep is telling some untruths about JJ. Anyway If JJ did what they say then cool.
They should of handled buisness better. They been screwing MPC owners over since the 1k.
Payback is brutal.

JJ also has nothing to do with the 500, 4k or the 5k being bugged out. So can Akai explain that?
Screw them for trying to use JJ as a scape goat.

Akai could have the BEST portable Music Productin Machine ever and they keep playing.

Stop Playing Akai!! Get a dedicated coder on the job and give us something to look forward to.
You need to have at least 2-3 coders to each Production Model.

HOOK US UP! We spend money. :angry: I got MPD32/MPD24/MPC1000/MPC500 -Add that up

JJ is succesful because he knows what we want. A bug free MPC with new/cool features to play with.
This is what we do. This is what keeps us motivated to make music. This is our life.

Here's what the guy from the JJ-Support Email (Murai) had to say:

I do not understand JJ well, either.
Therefore, I do not understand whether this is a true thing, either.

Thank you.


So, nothing helpful on that matter...
