Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

When saving entire memory project - when I have appllied HPF to pads - the settings haven't been saved and all show low pass with a setting of 100

Well, seems it's not a bug. Apparently, MPC defaults to displaying LPF screen in filter section after saving a project. Try playing a sample or scroll to HPF screen and see if its settings have been saved.

Afraid it does seem to be a bug as it shows 100 on HP as well - i copuld hear that the HPF wasn't be applied as soon as I hit the pads

Hmmm, I'll check it out when I get back home. Will report if it happens to me, too...

Ok thanks - I have just tried reloading New OS again to see if any different but it isn't I am afraid

It seem that you can't save the filter state/mode. Hmmm, this is not great news!

hahahahahaha

I have been trying to include the multimode filter in beatbutchermpc for the whole day, cant work out why it wasnt working. I'd been hexing the akai files and reverse engineering away and i was sure everything was 100% correct and jut couldnt understand why on earth I couldnt choose a filter type. This is why! They **** up the program load. DOH!

Ahr damn! This sucks BIG time! I think that Nukai "forgot" to update the save/load data. SHlT!

I know - makes the whole addition of a multimode filter useless!

Copy that! MPC doesn't save filter settings, except for LPF! ((( However, after I saved entire memory and went to Trim mode, everything was OK.

Well, guys, it certainly sucks, but this is a result of introducing new features. Now, we have to report it to Akaipro, so that they hot-fix it ASAP.

I send a letter to akai asking about this:

can't save the filter state (LP BP HP). Is this correct or am i mistaking?

I checked this out over here and found this out too. I'll bring this to the
attention of the engineers. Thanks for the heads-up!

Best Regards,

That's a definite improvement in customer relations, I should say :)

Hope it won't take them long to fix it.
