This is what it would look like if Tonka and Hummer's industrial design teams started collaborating on music kit. Good Lord…

What Baloney!!!
You paint it a new color and think that no one is going to notice it isn’t anything new Akai? Every one of these features is from 4 years ago!!
Is it any wonder that the JJOS people are Drinking Akai’s Milkshake?
I realize that the Numark Parent Corporation laid off all their good people in a purge almost EXACTLY a year ago, but way to tell the whole world that you don’t have any ideas left by painting your OLD TURDS a different color.
The Head of Numark/Alesis/Akai started like out as a used car salesman and BOY HOWDEEE does it show.
Don’t give these jerks any of your money.
