Disgusting.
Akai MPC Studio 2. I was so excited to get this machine. Bought through Guitar Center. Brought it home and downloaded all software without a hitch. Put it through its paces and found that pad 9 wasn't functioning. Pad 10 also had issues. Wrote to Akai, twice, on Monday. Friday, still had not heard from them. Spoke with my contact at GC who said to just exchange it for another unit. Went back to GC and got another MPC. This time pad 4 didn't work. Wrote to customer service 2 days ago. Crickets. This has been a thoroughly disgusting experience. I am returning the second unit, this time for a refund. With no quality control and no customer service, Akai doesn't deserve my business.
