Well, the system has some major, important bugs. You could search a list
of it on the unnofficial support forum, www.mpc-forums.com, since akai
doesn't even have a bug tracking system, at least outside.
The last version was released 1.5 years ago. The update has a great
number of bugs still in it. This bugs could be corrected easily, the
developers say, but they haven't been corrected.
Support from akai is very strange, you do have a support(a)akaipro.com
email, but they usually just say that akai has nothing to do with it and
that you should forget it.
The hardware is great... the service isn't... they could be so
successful,..
