Do y’all think this could happen or am I trippin??? 😳     See Less

Good idea 👍🏼, but they won't.     See Less

Yes update them yes and the old rack mounts
In my studio the akai s3000xl is still in use along with the alkali s5000 with usb     See Less

The very old MPCs like the MPC 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 need a updated OS. As for the MPC 2500 and 1000? They DON'T need anything else from Akai as they've dropped the ball on those MP     See More took JJOS to make those machines very capable now.    See Less

Fam I started on MPC 2000 …
Zip drive error.. Akai will never create software for older hardware…Why ? Because it will stop repeat sales on New Devices… For Example the MPC Studio     See More much Better than the Studio 2 .. But they stop making software to support the MPC studio 1 , after 2.15 …

Basically A lot of people wouldn’t purchase the newest Hardware .

For example The IPhone 16 software, working on an I phone 4..

And now people are trying to make music .. just for enjoyment/ no different than owning a PlayStation/ Xbox.

So every 10 years akai stop creating software to support units .. in order to create repeat hardware sales .. It’s
Their Hustle.. Fam ..

Back in the day Akai had a DPS 16
Multi recorder . Giving you 16 tracks to do vocals .

They need to work creating that on MPC 4.0

So we can do everything in 1 unit ..
A true multi tracker , you can punch in and out vocals ..

With some Akai cloud storage.    See Less

Yes to all the questions...
It also would be dope if we had the screen on the newer models to have the same 3.0 is but have retro graphics like on a MPC 2000 XL or even 3000 cosmetically     See More . Esp flip flop from retro 3.0 to regular 3.0 ijs    See Less

It’s not profitable for akai to make software on older machines, it would be great but doubt it will happen     See Less

I'm a grandpa in the game. Im almost 54. 2500 and the 1000 was my favorite MPCs that I owned. I would absolutely support it for those who want it. Not something I would want to revisit f     See More I love my X SE and my Key61, they are what I dreamed of after I had the MV8800, it was just to slow loading etc. I'm good now. I really appreciate the new tech.    See Less

It would be amazing but I think no way they have resources to devote to this given everything that's happening with modern MPCs right now. No revenue in updating 20 year old devices     See Less

I mean, no idea is a bad one. However, with all do respect to the guy that started JJOS, they should only do it if they're going to involve him in some way.     See Less
