What exactly? Akai really ought to keep their Apps alive .. after all they’re just the MPC60 in various guises because the S900 / S950 and original MPC are the only Akai products worth bothering with .. the S1000/ 1100 series was a step backwards from the S900 / S950 which was a work of genius and sounded great .. this App is toast because Akai haven’t updated it .. no point buying anything else because it’s all same same ..

Another waste of money on Retronyms!

I wasted money on apps from Retronyms and later on I regretted since that developer isn’t any good at all. I have seen independent developers doing way better than this company.

Mise à jour ?

Bonjour,
Toujours pas de mise à jour… cette application a pourtant du potentiel !
Akai n’a pas les moyens ???

I miss this app!!

I wish Akai would update this app and make it work with iOS. It was a great synth, one of the best ever on iOS!!
