Hello,

I’m experiencing a major issue with my MPC Live III after updating to MPC OS 3.9.0.

I’m preparing a live set using the Clip Matrix with Audio Clips (48 kHz WAV files).

I set the Start and End points for my clips in Clip Edit, then save the project using Save Project. Everything works perfectly as long as the MPC remains powered on.

However, after shutting down the MPC, turning it back on, and reopening the project:

* several Audio Clips lose their Start settings;
* the Start point is consistently changed to 114:4:84;
* some clips also display a tempo of 999 BPM;
* as a result, the clips no longer play the correct section of the audio file.

I’ve run several tests (creating new clips, re-importing the audio files, creating new project saves), but the issue occurs every time after restarting the MPC.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

After updating did you reset preferences?
Try firmware update via usb stick and NOT wifi.
