    Unbelievable contortions just to get everything ready... I got my mpc today and spent all day trying to get everything up and running. I-lock wont accept some key codes ... back and forwards between sites, back and forward downloading all over the place. The system needs to be streamlied. One click FFS. Also, hell knows how I get content expansions.. I bought a couple to get me going and they are not showing in the Inmusic registration zone. It's a joke.

    This video already seems out of date. I just purchased an MPC Studio Mk 2 and tried to install the software today and instead gives me the MPC Studio Software Manager. Unfortunately something seems broken in the activation process as the Serial/MPC key provided doesn't activate the MPC software

    thank you for posting this, this whole System is a joke. I first got it took me all day to get it shut up couple months later I get a new computer and back-and-forth. I lock an app Kai and I don't have a file for that file for that. It's taking me a week to get the app on my new computer. It's almost enough to make me go somewhere else

    Akai is such a headache. I got my MPC professional 11 years ago and there were so many issues with either the serial number, or using the MPC application and I contacted them for help and they never got back to me and I was never able to use it until today and there were still issues with the MPC application and not having any samples in it so I can’t even use it still. After 11 years!!!!!
