TEASER: Akai Pro has something coming too

It's all getting a bit crazy coming up to NAMM 2017. And in this teaser video, Akai Pro wants you to know that assorted industry VIPs love their new stuff.

TEASER: Akai Pro has something coming too

It’s not just Denon DJ that has new shiny on the way. inMusic stablemate Akai Pro has put out a teaser video, one where music industry VIPs stand around oohing and aaahing about the thing that’s juuuust out of shot. But what is it?

Once again, I don’t play games, so I’m not going to write a fluff piece attempting to make you believe that I’m some sort of guru with my pinpoint accurate guesses. The reality is that like Denon DJ before it, I and every other major media outlet has not only got press releases and images, but has probably laid hands on this new stuff too. In the case of Akai Pro I haven’t seen it in the flesh yet, but from the reactions in the video combined with the info I have in front of me, I’m quite certain that you’ll like it when you see it.

As far as I can tell, there’s nothing whatsoever to be gleaned detail-wise from this clip — it’s a pure tension builder. But if you want to have a weekend laugh, when you watch it imagine that they’re all talking about a new coffee maker or Red Bull vending machine. Both of those are probably more useful to producers than a lot of the gear they have anyway. My personal favourite is to think of them seeing a new and completely made up Akai Airhorn Pro for the first time. ;)

  6. Probably the same ole broken crap they always put out.

    I bought the MPX Sampler because I needed some one-shots for my live set and they even screwed that up. Sound quality is bad and it takes 5 minutes to load a new sample bank.

    Akai EIE doesn’t work at all.

    Some of the midi functions of the MPK were never finished.

  8. I hate the teasers from inmusic.
    first the denon mcx8000 and the new mediaplayer and now this.
    each time very disappointed. (i loved the old denon dj stuff)
    If you have a good product show it and sell it within 1 or 2 moths (like pioneer does)
    I am done with inmusic/denon/akai

    • So I guess you don’t like teasers. And the old Denon DJ stuff was good but unless you haven’t seen the new Denon DJ controllers in the past month you must be sleeping or drinking cyanide.

  11. Canadian pricing:

    MPC Live: $1599
    MPC X: $2599

    Are the extra ins/outs, 10″ screen worth it? I want to know if there’s a difference between processors and the like
