It doesn't matter what date you claimed you received the MPC..that fact remains that the update was already available.
Perhaps it was available, perhaps it wasn't... I sure as heck did not immediately find any hint about it back then. You can blame me all you want, but it's not really my fault.... As with any gear I just expect it to work acceptably, 52 bugs and no telling the user that they MUST update is just wrong...
I know what you wrote because you posted it several times. You wrote that you needed the manual to say 'mandatory update'. The manual states to check for an update. How can you not understand what that means? That is not a complex statement. You say that you own MPC 4000s. If this is the case, you should know very well to check Akai's website for OS updates. The MPC 4000 had numerous issues when it was released. And still has some.
I did read the manual.. I thought you were talking about some kind of 'mandatory update' note in it, which my manual doesn't have. Yours apparently not either. I did read the general 'check for updates' statements, but regardless of that I expect things to work out of the box.
I don't need it to say 'mandatory update' at all, but they should have just made sure that the product worked... not ONLY after some OS update which was basically the case. I'm not going to explain this again... it's futile.
As for the MPC4K, yes but all the more reason to complain, because a good company would have freaking learned from the past... Akai apparently doesn't.
Also..if you actually own the MPC 5K..I challenge you to post a bug that you have found with the new OS. And not one that I already written about.
Dude you talk about it, as if finding a bug is a good thing. Wtf.. Anyways I'm not interested in proving anything, but if I bump into any bugs, sure I'll report them... to Akai that is. In fact I could show numerous photographs of my studio, but it would ruin my anonimity here, so I won't. I'm not in here to show I got the biggest balls or longest dck, I'm long past that stage.
I really believe you are in this thread as a 'troll' as they say around internet forums. I simply can't believe anyone who can read on an 8th grade level could misunderstand the introduction in the MPC 5Ks manual.
Lol, you better read up on Wiki what a 'troll' is, because I sure as hell ain't one... Also, read back this freaking thread, I did not even start the freaking argument. Your fanboy feelings apparently got hurt when I made a comparison, big deal.. For real though, I'm not even out to fight.
As far as you claim that you talked to Akai employees about there being a mix-up with the OS releases...
No, you've misunderstood. I did talk to Akai employees as well, but I talked to beta testers who told me it was a mix-up of a beta version they knew and had worked with.
