psn Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If you think that sounds bad, you should have heard the Soundcloud demo one of the Akai guys posted a few days ago (since removed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 it'd probably be alright if they got someone who actually knew what they were doing to do the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokn Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 boring demo. this looks like akai wanted to build their own monotribe. the machine is also way smaller than i thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klore Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh56cEx2r2o I used to be excited for this box... looks/sounds so cheap why the hell making something that cheap, why not making a better one costing something like 400$ it'd be a real innovation and chance for some bedroom producers and beginners, even to 600$, it's still affordable for a hardware gear this is insulting the hardware/software debate i like akai keybords, and mpds, i use them a lot, but this stuff, i'll never buy this, even for 50$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 on listening back to it a few times, i do actually quite like the kick and hi hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paega Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The demos never tell the whole story. Though admittedly this has sounded too good to be true all along. I will reserve judgement for now...but...ugh...if it turns out this demo pretty much represents what one can get out of the Rhythm Wolf, Akai won't be getting any of my dollars. At that price point/sound quality you'd be 1,000% better off with some Volcas. (Not knocking the Volcas, the Keys is quite a fun box for what it is...)

AAAAh Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 on a side not i think the mpx16 looks pretty cool. http://www.akaipro.com/tradeshow/messe2014/img/web/MPX16_ortho_1200x750_web.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureimage Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 How not to do a demo video. The tuning scale of the bass is completely off though, how didn't anyone at Akai notice before putting this off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skibby Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 on a side not i think the mpx16 looks pretty cool. http://www.akaipro.com/tradeshow/messe2014/img/web/MPX16_ortho_1200x750_web.jpg i wont buy from akai for a while, after buying an mpk mini. looked great, but i had to part with it because the drum pads were not up to snuff.

LimpyLoo Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 They should've just made a new $200 MPC. edit: Seriously, they could make such a badass little sampler at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rbrmyofr Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It sounds bad. And not in the Jackson / Jones sense of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace 7 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 AHAHAHA..... Aha... This demo is ridiculous. How to sell a cheap guitar? Get someone who can jam on guitar to make it sound amazing. How to sell a drum machine? Get someone who can rock that shit, who has actually done it for months/years on end with other drum machines for their own music. Because sonically, a lot can be fixed by running this through an overdrive pedal (and adding reverb). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun drugs Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 looks balls, the synth seems like it hasnt got enough control to get much out of it, maybe cool for live use.. or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grain Bastard Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I read a post from a dealer saying the AKAI rep was absolutely over the moon with the order they placed for the Wolf, with all the pre-orders included. Wonder if those early-birds are now regretting their eagerness :) I doubt the order would have been so healthy had the audio demo been released before now. Having said that though, did anyone really expect anything more than what is on offer? Its analog with really limited controls (judging by the amount of knobs) so it sounds exactly as limited as I expected. Those little MFB drum synths are the same - really basic analog drum sounds and about the same price. Like already said, put out something 'analog' and the modern electronic muso's loose their heads.

jeyemusik Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 If you'd been thinking of getting this device but were thinkng that, after all this time, you don't actually want to hear it but would love to heard Dick Devine make it sound like absolutely everything else he does as a way of deciding if you're going to take the plunge..... well, you're in luck.

BCM Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 akai seriously, if you want a decent demo of this thing, send me a unit or two over and I'll knock something out that'll blow your socks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
