Hey everyone!
We were absolutely thrilled to witness the incredible love and support for the Akai Pro MPC Stems. Your enthusiasm and the success of this game-changing feature not only overwhelmed beat makers worldwide but, quite unexpectedly, our servers as well!
We experienced higher than usual traffic, which led to temporary service disruptions. This has now been corrected, however, some purchasers are experiencing delays as the servers catch up.
We understand the inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience and understanding while we manage through this.
The Akai Pro Team.
