Yeah, now my VSTs dont show up when I open their window, its just a blank black background with the patch list pull down at the top. Seems only to be the bridged 32bit plugins

Anyone else?

Dan from AKAI came thru ! MPC X NOW TRIGGERS EXTERNAL INSTRUMENTS LIKE DRUM MACHINES WITH A TRIGGER MMC MIDI MESSAGE , MIDI CLOCK TOO ! NICE ONE AKAI !

MPC Live (controller mode), Touch and Studio users rejoice!!!!

So in the software I was able to midi map my maschine mk1/maschine mk3 and akai mpk to the 16 qlinks. It's a thing of beauty not having to rely on the toggle button for the row of 4 qlinks.

I can't seem to enable this in the stand alone Live hardware though, still trying.

So you're saying the MMC and MTC works? I am down loading mines right now so I can install it in a few minutes, I want my Live to master over Reason 10, cause Reason 10 can't master clock, it can only be a slave. Are you able to make the X master cock Sneaky?

You may need to reinstall that don't sound right, you may not have installed it correctly.

@ DANOC , in 2,1 i could not get my external devices such as drum machines to start when i pressed play on the software. ( there is a preference setting page that did NOTHING !) It worked on the MPC X in standalone , all 4 ports worked. NOT IN SOFTWARE MODE THOUGH.
NOW , in 2.2 it works ! I can press start on my project /session/work in the software and everything starts , and its in time . so in technical speak i suppose 2.2 now enables the computer software to be the MASTER , the MPC X then sends the MMC and MIDI clock signal out of any or all 4 ports on the back to other things as SLAVE .
this is HUGE for me , as the MPCX was advertised as being "the central hub of the studio and sychronizes computer DAW into workflow" . . . . . . . except . .. . it didn't. Stunned no one else picked up on this , but i felt very let down when found out this didn't work.
PROPS TO DAN AT AKAI! i asked for this and he said it was a bug that would be fixed in 2.2 in a few weeks , and here it is !
IM VERY HAPPY NOW , SEAMLESS INTEGRATION BETWEEN HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE NOW. THIS IS A MIND-BLOWING PIECE OF KIT AND I HAVENT EVEN SCRATCHED THE SURFACE OF ITS POWER. I CAN SELL MY 2000XL STUDIO AND MY VP9000 . ALL MY EFFECTS BOXES AND DITCH DAW TOO AS THIS HAS IT ALL.

Welp confirmed, global midi learn is software only. It's a great update, but this sucks!!!

I can't wait to go home and do this. Crazy timing shifts for all!
