2.0 is out for the Ren!

I've upgraded to 2.0 a week ago, here are few quick observations;

- Ren no longer exhibits those pops n clicks as with 1.9 when using ren interface directly connected to 2017 imac usb 3.0 port - so it's finally fixed...at least it seems so.
- Every 1.9 project loads up with no problem.
- GUI looks nice, it will take some time getting used to the new layout, but you'll graps it in no time.

- Only downside for the upgraders is that 2.0 requires that 1.9 be removed (not sure if the trial demands it too), so by default you cannot have both 1.9 and 2.0, which would be great if you could. Maybe you can backup the 1.9, install the 2.0 and return the 1.9 backup, I didn't try that....

all sounds fairly positive

thanks for the feedback

Downloaded the trial version, liked it and will buy it. Didn’t like how it overwrote my original software and needed a total reinstall? Bit cheeky on the marketing front there with a real hard sell or am I being a conspiracy theorist?

does seem a bit of a shame you can't keep two versions installed...

but then i guess it could legitimately be to increase stability...



but then again....

this is Akai

Yes, the plan is to create an 'MPC Ren & MPC Studio 2.0 Bible', but I need to put some feelers out to try to gauge how many people would be interested in this.

Count me in Tutor.

Just loaded up the Ren for the 1st time in months and saw the upgrade notice. A great Xmas surprise!

I'm on it!

It works beautifully when I use the Ren with my Motif. Sounds from my Motif can be tracked into the software's audio tracks through the Motif's Firewire audio interface.

I was going to replace the Ren with The X, but I heard the sequencer is suspect. So I guess I'll stick with The Ren, for now.

It is possible to have both versions installed simultaneously (on a Mac at least, but probably also Windows), I've not thoroughly tested it but it seems to work, but it involves a bit of effort to get the effects working on 1.9 (the 2.0 install deletes the 1.9 'Fx' folder so you have to manually reinstate it from a backup).
