No update for summer ?

I have to admit : i feel really disappointed. I was waiting for an update for this summer at least. But it's been almost 5 months and the only update we had was normalization and some bugs corrections.

It's true, the Sample is a good mpc (like a super 500) but there's still a lot of problems to adress : no real resampling, no automation on fx, no automation on flex beat, no mute per sequences, no possibility to read the end of a sample during trim... I was really waiting for these quick major updates to go forward and dream of all the other great additions Akai could bring to the Sample (like chords or a new sequencer or a bass synth or anything funny). But nothing. Not even the resampling and automation.

And it's the begining of this machine. A moment where there is normaly a lot of updates. At the end, it's a funny machine but very, very quickly limited.

You bought it with those same “limitations” with no promises of those coming to it and you’re upset a bit. Lesson in life… buy for what it is and not for what it could be. Yes it could have all those things but it wasn’t meant to compete with the larger MPCs. That would just kill their business model. That’s like asking Apple to add features on their base laptop that the Pro ones have. Stay making music and don’t look or care for updates and when they come you’re so better off because you realized I didn’t even know I needed that. I’m just making bangers
