So you guys still need to modify your Nukai gear in order for it to work properly?

Priceless!

At least Akai still makes a standalone
Good luck with your new accordian.

Well, hell, we Nukai fanboys have already written an EP in the time that it takes your MV to load a beat and a few samples

This type of gear shouldn't get hot in two hours of use in a sweat lodge, the Live is a small piece of gear, not a 48 channel analog mixing board from the before Zeus. It's 2017 and the machine should run ice cold. Could be a power problem from home wiring, maybe check that by plugging other gear into the same outlet. Otherwise, I'd be seriously concerned about the power regulation in the machine.

Haha thanks for the replies and laughs,

yeah I think there's probably something amiss. That area starts heating up pretty much right when I turn the unit on. It's never burning hot, but its significantly hotter than any other part of the touchscreen or any other part of the machine.

Don't think it's a home wiring issue either, since it gets hot when plugged in or when its running on the internal battery.

hahah too soon! lol yall funny

Suggesting that home wiring is an issue for something that is literally as powerful as a modern mid tier smart phone is ridiculous.

I used mine for a good (3) hours last night, and i only barely detected slight warmth on the screen. And if I hadn't read about it here, I probably would never have noticed. Subtle and, in my mind, totally normal.

Mine only got hot when I was using my installed SSD. Now that I've been using a USB mini stick for storage, I haven't noticed any heating issues at all.

I got a height adjustable USB laptop stand with built in fans under mine dirt cheap on amazon like 15 bucks. Should help haven't tried powering it by the live yet but my live doesn't get really hot anyway on the stand it is vented on bottom to help heat dissipate instead of sitting on a flat surface like a desk .

Yeah mines the same, as you say its not burning hot but definitely warmer on the left side of the screen, I'm on holiday this week so will be using it a lot in standalone and controller mode. Also will use it plugged and unplugged, i will feedback once I've give it a good test.

Also try with screen dimmed.

Ran mine today for about three hours and noticed it got warm - not laptop hot - but warm on the left side again. Maybe something to discuss with Akai at Gear Fest.

I was doing a lot of sample editing, though. Maybe the processor ... ?

Actually mine does get warm on the bottom left of the unit though. Nothing to get panicky about, felt normal from these kind of devices. My Galaxy gets hot too if I aggressively surf and download lots of content.

Eh ... I don't think I want to know what "content" you're downloading!
