Proposed New Akai MPC Model Survey (Academic Project)

Hello Everybody:

My name is Thom and I'm an Entertainment Business Management graduate student at Full Sail University. For a class project, I am currently working on a presentation for a proposed artist-associated product. It's for a customizable sampling workstation that would be a part of the MPC series of sampling workstations.

Your assistance by taking the included survey would be most helpful and greatly appreciated. The survey is just 10 brief questions, most of which are "yes/no" questions.

Thanks in advance,

Thom J. Woodward

graduate student, Full Sail University

Those sound like Akai customer service questions from a warranty registration card.
 
That's kind of the idea (almost). The questions are for market research for a fictitious MPC model that I'm proposing as part of my "Product & Artist Management" final project. I have to put together a "pitch" to investors for an "artist-related product." For thew purpose of the project, I am the product manager. I assure you, I don't work for Akai. This survey is purely for academic purposes. And your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for looking. :-)
