Congrats! Make sure when you register your X at Akai , in your account ypu down load all the Air instruments and effects. It will add a plethora of sounds giving you a wonderful arsenal.

I have R9.5 also l freakin love that DAW!
You can bring in 9.5 in the Xs 2.0 SW 9.5.

Don't forget to show us pics of your X!

Peace CB. I hope you installed the MPC X software and not just the 2.0 software or you will have problems connecting to your computer in control mode.

Also did you do the ilok registration? If not register your 2.0 software.

For putting pics on this site follow my instructions below:
