Ahh shit he's right. It doesnt show up when I login to my account and go to download it (I was just grabbing another copy), but if you go to one of the product pages, the download there says .2...

(Didn't fix Pad Perform always being on for me anyways bummer)

Yeah same here.
Always some new bugs.
Fortunately I don't use pad perform, I prefer keys perform.
But no good.

Because the first time, the update was split in half and that second half is paid :cry:

Yeah but plugins is a different thing.
Let's talk about the unpaid one.
There are some very nice new features.
Air Flavour is very nice, I am using it all day, very well done.
The Radio Tube mode is excellent on keyboards.
Megaphone also excellent on voice.
Amp sim is also useful, the bass amp sounds pretty good to my ears.
Probability is a great idea to give more rendomness to lame samples.
I also like the menu customization, good to put all modes you use to play live on a row to find them faster.
Granular has some new features, a reverse and some more, it makes it even better.
Who cares about new plugins.
I wait for a new Live XL with more Ram for them, it will take at least a year.
Nice new free features.
I am happy.

Nope just download the update and that's it.

Just downloaded the 2.11.2 update via wifi. FInishes download, then screen goes blank. I wait several minutes. So i hard reset, now it won't go past the MPC boot screen. Brilliant.

Edit: If this happens to anyone else, do a hard reset: Hold [Bank C] + [Full Level] + [Erase] while powering on, sends it into update mode. Then download the update on the computer, and load it back in from there.

I now distrust wifi updates.

I really really like Air Flavour.
It has also a amp sim inside (Timbre) you can tweak with vinyl distortion and noise.
I do find it excellent.
It works also great on output insert .
You put a Megaphone timbre at 100%, assign it to a qlink and then get down to 0 or the other way round.
Very very nice to make the song move and sound like an old vinyl and then slowly back to normal and so on.
I think I am gonna use it a lot.
The Air amp sim is also excellent to give strength to bass with bass amp.


Already saved a few custom presets as Favorites! Sounds Browser is great and I'm going to move all my Expansions to the SD Card do that everything is more organized. Expansions load slower from my SSD anyway.

I’ve said that since the beginning.
Do a usb download update instead.
Few listened.
Many didn’t and had problems.

Firmware, no.

Mpc key 61 free available Synth content on Live’s, X and One, yes, a convoluted process awaits you.

If you purchased a kybd, free key61 synths.
If no, paid premium synths..
Os update, free like Straker stated,
