Was that an in-house tester? If not it could simply be one that was hired to test the MPC from a newbie perspective.

Well, anyway, if the Mpc standalone needed YEARS to become reliable and still has 7 years long basic midi bugs, I guess there is something not working so good here, just to say.
Then 2.15.1 is finally a good one so it's time to enjoy a working MPC rather then starting again with issues and problems in my very personal opinion.

So suits actually say "F them, the notes off midi bug can't be THAT important"? I guess they do. The MPC2500 v1.23 had a clear bug about muting and I contacted the local distributor who just laughed. Well yes, lots of people laugh at me, but the point is the impossiblity of the company giving a damn about a bug.

Yeah, it's more important to satisfy the hiphop audience and make nice glittering colors for the pads.
At the end, this is the MPC marketing target, who gives a F about musicians who work with MIDI and look for a stable working box and pay money to have a working stable box.

Its cringey. Stabbing at pads while violently head nodding is pretty cringe. NI do the same. Meanwhile the new MPC instruments are perfect for Synth Wave.
