From there I'll turn the Automation "Write" located on the top right.(The default it set to "Read") Then I'll record my performance, save my work, and shut down my mpclive. When I go back to reboot and reload the project where the xy effects were placed it reverts the selected effect back to the default "Beat Repeat LPF" and I'll have to go through each sequence and each track with the xy effects on them and try to figure out what it was I before I did the save and shutdown of my mpc. The only firmware version where this is not an issue is 2.1.

Hope this explains my frustration.


thank you, I appreciate the detailed explanation. I'll make sure to forward this on to our QA team, and we'll take a look. I'll PM you if we need any more details. thanks again!

Thank you. I can see things have changed here since the days of the 4k regarding official support from Akai.

i gotta be honest, unless it's class-compliant, that will probably not happen. your best bet is to unload the zips with a computer and put them on a thumb drive.
