Introducing the new portable akai mpc500
A feature list has not leaked but it is Battery Powered...6 AAs.


Honestly if this has dirrect record its so frigen on.

Well im almost sure in my mind that the photoshop of the mpc500 i posted a year ago helped bring this product to light.

I mean come on,the same name and protable.
That is what I was going for last year,and im glad akai had the balls to do it..

Everyone should email akai and tell um to send me a free one,I think I deserve it.
