MPC Live II owners only: integrated speaker question

Just got my Live 2 yesterday. Something I noticed is that when I'm using the built-in speaker, when I first touch the volume knob on the upper left to adjust the volume, it momentarily fades out real quick before popping back in. This seems to be random, though I've recreated the phenomena both in standalone mode as well as using it as an audio interface.

Anyone else experience this?

No Live 2 owners out there?

Not many ATM, certainly not available in Europe for at least another 4 weeks apparently

Well crap. Hopefully some more people will chime in - there's got to be someone out of the 50 or so regulars around here that picked one up besides me.

Already got a volca fm mate?

You might need to wait another week or two for folks to have them land in their laps. But certainly an interesting topic to keep an eye on.

don't own a Live2 but a couple of 2Live Crew records

No, but I've got the Volca Drum. It's a blast!

Yeah, hoping some new owners will chime in here. Need to confirm it's likely software related before I go through the trouble of sending it back.

You might have to hit up some youtubers that have them in hand to ask them.

I've got one user on GS that confirmed the behavior on his/her Live 2 as well. Seems to only happen once when you first start up and adjust the volume knob while audio is playing.

They’ve had problems with the main outputs and volume pot since the ren. Left output goes quite at lower volume, static pot etc. would make sense similar issues with internal speakers.

Hmmm.. my Live 1 didn't have that sort of issue. I'll need to test my Live 2 further to see if this affects the main-outs when I have the speaker off.

Both my ren and live did exact same thing and my buddies X the same. Would be curious to see how many on here have had the same issues. I just assumed it was an issue most people experienced.

Yeah, the input on my 3/4 on the MPC X is probably 3-4db lower than the right... which is annoying, but not impossible to correct.

@Enoch...

Mk2 just showed up... I've been messing with the volume knob and not having any fade out problem as you've describe when on speakers... I tried to ride the knob fast, slow, hard, etc... and not getting any momentary silence on my end.

Next I'll check out the inputs... because I'm hoping I don't have one louder than the other
