Not sure. I updated to v2.14 first, then purchased the plugin. Then launched the software and the button to activate just isnt there..

No problems at all. See my posting before yours.

Updated my MPC Software to version 2.14 via inMusic Software Center. Then activated Stems and downloaded something successfully.

MPC Firmware updated to version 2.14 via online update. Of course there is no Stems. Hope they will release it in some month as well.


MPC Stems is not available in my InMusic Software Center, even after re-login/re-start

No, but the update to 2.14. I bought Stems first then updated the SW etc. Maybe thousands of user want to licence and activate at the same time right now.

It's funny. I'm selling my MpcX at 5pm and today is the day they release this. lol.
I'm done with the new Mpc's until they do a serious update.
I will be using the money to otherwise buy a Oberheim Matrix 6, an Old Mpc to pair up with my other older samplers, and some other day-to-day real life things I could use.
This whole activation thing, all these new plugins with very little focus on the midi or the sampling...
Then they bring out more hardware and to be honest, the new hardware look good on the outside, but I guess it's just not for me for now. If I didn't get offered an actual decent price for my MpcX I would keep it, but I've had it since a year after they released it and its good... Don't me wrong. Like I admit I'm on an old update, but I can't see it doing ALL that much for me in terms of sound. I got multiples computers, S2400, Sp404, other Akai Rack Samplers like S900 and such, so it's not a huge loss for me.
Now that the MpcX is discontinued(There's no MPCXSE or X at my local store online or off) I think maybe they could be trying to make a new MPCX hardware, but do I care a ton? Naah....
I'll be keeping an eye out on this forum though time to time to see what they do with it, and what bugs come out. :smoker: :-D

Getting the 'not activated' thing too...

This is preposterous. Getting an update and plugin should not be such a hassle. Then when you've done it all as instructed they just randomly don't let you activate it after taking your money?

May be done w Akai after this. Total bs

MPC Stems is activated but I get an error 403 when clicking on download
By polysci Tue Mar 26, 2024 5:32 pm
it looks like there's no download required - must be in the 2.14 build. still need that activate button though

Wow this is a lot of reports of issues already. I've been making stems and chopping them into samples for months now, so until it hits standalone I'm not really seeing the big deal about it tbh

I see the activate button here and after activating a download button appears. Clicking on download gives this message: MPC Stem Separation download failed with code 403
