MPC Software Beta 2.0.4 now available - hit 'check for updates' in the mpc software. This one only affects the computer GUI and doesn't seem to bring any changes to the 'controller mode' touchscreen UI.

TBH I was expecting to see all the new 'standalone mode' features appear in controller mode (e.g. list edit, drum warping, grid copy/paste, improved audio editing etc) but nothing doing. So currently MPC X and MPC Live users switching from standalone to controller mode lose all the new features. WTF is all that about? Surely feature-parity is essential?

I honestly see no use for this update.

I said something about the mac os high Sierra now supported.
I imagine that was the purpose of the update.

Happy for the software release.. what for next to reflect the firmware update to use in controller mode.. big ups to the developers..

I respect these additions

MPC will no longer stall at startup when an Ableton Link peer is removed.
Tempo adjustment when in an Ableton Link session has been improved.
MIDI/Audio Mode toggle and vertical zoom commands for grids are now present in the View menu.

I was really hoping this got rid of what's probably the most annoying thing in 2.0:

When I go into a folder in the browser, and come back out, I'm all the way back at the top of the list of that folder, instead of wherever I was before I ended the folder. I hate that. I have a lot of folders of beats and drums. I hate having to scroll allll the way back down after I come out of a folder.

It just makes me use Finder instead.

Agree with you on that also and usimf the mpc builder doesn't work in controller mode you have to drag to the software which i mever see because i ise it in a vst.. looking for a total hands free from the pc.. also 16 mono outs would be mice in conteoller mode.. and launch a vst from hardware meaning gui i have multiple screens it would be nice to see my plugins

Besides that great work!

Just a heads up, like the previous beta, this update is not available to download from your Akai account unless you have an MPC Touch, the link under my registered 'MPC Live listing still points to 2.0.11. Try the 'Check for Updates' link directly in the mpc software.

Also, the updated manual (1.1) is found in the 'Help' section of the mpc software - the version on the Akai site is unsurprisingly, the old one.

Doesn't look like they added any new features for audio editing

Simon Bangs on Facebook reckons this is just an interim 'performance' update, a 2.0.5 beta will bring it in line with standalone features.

Hey im just happy to see and up date it shows their still alive. lol

I think thy gonna call it beta for ever...
