Been enjoying a week or so with mpc live so far all good, just tryed the x/y fx and it crashed hard taking over 2min to reset and lost my work for the last few hrs. wouldnt want this to be happening in a live situatuin, how often does the MPC Live crash for others and what are some causes

Had two crashes today. One crash was switching it to controller mode with it connected to the software. This caused a hiccup to the internal ssd I had installed. It was fixed with a reset.

Second crash was upon boot up. The press start screen would not read the start button press. Every time I pressed start the screen would flicker. Pressing the power button would have the screen flicker, after a reset everything was fine.

I’ve had this unit since launch and I could only remember it crashing once a or twice before. This was due to loading and removing sounds from the memory.

Only had one case worth mentioning…
Some weeks ago, did the new version update and started working on a new song.
Only loaded one sample and started chopping and arranging.
Long story short: it crashed prob 7 times in one hour.
Switching back to the old version didnt help, and it wasnt the sample or the project, as i did try other ones.
Then it stopped and didnt come back.
But that was not a great look; was totally random.

Since that 1st crash i havent had anymore, is there a bug report thread for standalone mode somewhere in this forum?
Overall its been pretty rock solid and sequencing multiple midi devices clock is stable and all is working nicely, just want to know if any actions to aviod during a live set cuz a 2minute crash would be pretty embarrasing especially when doing beats for mcs or a band
