There seems to be a few improvements and quite a few bug fixes which I find very odd 'cause I haven't had a problem yet.



LOL me either.

are you going to Install it?

I was hoping you were !!! LOL
The only thing that kinda freaks me out is I wont be able to downgrade back to the original because it's not posted on the website. But I'm sure if I have problems and want to go back I'd be able to get it from Akai.
Then again, I'm not having any problems right now.

Screw it, I'll give it a shot.

I wish. I think the last MPC that could do this was the 2000.

Well, it took me awhile to figure out that you have to power up while holding in the 'SHIFT' button to update (I should've downloaded the 'how to update' document, huh?)

So far, so good. I can't test anymore today as I'm off to work, but I'll definately beat the piss out this **** over the weekend!

Installed this last night and all seems well :D
TBH, I never had a problem with the previous OS and I was running 0.9.

That's good, and I guess you haven't noticed any improvements seeing how the new OS was released so quick.

Keep us posted!!1 :D

Improvements? Well, there was an increased max. feedback for delays added... other than that, there isn't anything else I've noticed. She still seems to be as stable as before, which is definately good news!
