Ok guys. Dont know if anyone has seen this one but here it goes. Ok whenever I go into Track Mute mode of course the pad that you have selected is indicated by the color green and every other pad or track that you start adding to a group is flashing yellow. My problem is on my hardware pad 12 will flash green along with the yellow ones even if I have a different pad selected and wont turn back yellow. Then I come out of Track Mute/Group mode and now the pad is stuck at green. When I hit the pad at low velocities its still dim green. It wont flash yellow at all. If I put it in full level mode it wont go bright red. It will be a really dimmed red color while the other pads are super bright red. Next I go into pad assign and play with some the the color modes for the pads and make all of the pads orange. All of them get their assignments except for the one that's green. It wont change orange or yellow. If I make it red it will be that really dimmed red color like its hitting at a low velocity which ideally should be yellow. So it wont turn back or accept yellow at all. Now after playing with the pad assign colors for a bit it finally turned back yellow and started accepting all of the colors/velocities again. Cool.. But not really.. lol.. So I start a new track and work on a bunch of parts in my arrangement, go into Track Mute mode again to start assigning my groups and bam, now pad 15 is stuck in the same situation as described above and pad 12 is back to normal. But nothing I'm doing or have done is getting it to come out of this glitch. And when the hardware is in it's Vegas like mode, pad 12 is getting that really dimmed red when all of the other pads go bright red... The only time this whole situation has happened to me is when I go into Track Mute mode. That's what sets it off. So I'm stuck trying to get the hardware back to normal!
Any of you guys seen this or have an idea of how I can maybe reset the hardware some way?? Any help is much appreciated!!

I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.2 , Intel i7 2600k 3.4ghz, 16gb Ram....

Thanks a bunch! :-D

System:
OSX ML 10.8.1, 2.2ghz i7, 8gb ram

Ren: Standalone 1.1

Not sure if I can describe this in a manor that can be reproduced, but the export separate tracks function does not operate correctly.

The software exports random tracks that I did not play, or leaves tracks out.

System: Win 8, 3.2 quad amd, 8gb ram

Bug: Create sequence, add effects to track or pad. Go to song mode have the sequence repeat and convert to new sequence. After you do this all effects have been removed however they are still in the insert slots.

Can you please confirm

Late 2011 13" MBP w/2.4GHz i5 8GB RAM 10.8.2

Showing how difficult it is to set pad or track outputs from the hardware q-link knobs.


When going into Effects mode (shift + effects), and trying to edit the insert plugin settings for a plugin, the maps on the hardware screen are not changing according to page changes.


Showing how when trying to shift single selected notes in a pattern, all notes in the track move even if they are not selected.


Showing how difficult it is to scroll the mixers from MacBook trackpad.


Showing how the samples list is not sorting properly alphabetically.

Wow, just noticed that as well. Guess they are counting on you using the browser. Although if they did have this feature I wouldn't use it anyway. I'd just use the browser.

This is not a bug. Files are loaded from the browser by double clicking or drag-n-drop where applicable.

This is not a bug. Samples appear in the Project Information menu in the order they were loaded.

Same sh*t with the mpc 500 when loading & saving, why can't Akai just do it the "proper" way or give option to choose.

As I mentioned in the other thread, all the drums at the top of the list that appear BEFORE my sample were the LAST sounds to be loaded! I loaded my sample, chopped it, loaded a break, chopped, loaded some more drums, in that order!
