2.11-2.13 Bug reports

3. Link via WiFi runs like shit at my place, thanks for killing the LAN port akai.

USB-Ethernet adapter would be the solution, works for me on the mpc live

Is everyone else still dealing with the clicks and pops appearing only when chops are played in the sequence and not when you jam on your pads ?

Any workaround has been found since ?

Just got an MPC Key 61. Software 2.12.1 Control surface 1.39.
When I play it sometimes doesn't notice keynote presses. It happens enough that it isn't really useful to me. Is this a known glitch?
Thanks,

I don't update very often but just wanted to check... I'm on 2.11.8 using an MPC Live. Is there any good reason to update to 12?

UPDATE: I am sending it back It's either faulty or a bug that may never get fixed.

If it's not consistent then it's absolutely a fault. If it's consistently not picking up very light touches then perhaps fixable via the sensitivity controls. But ultimately it the keys don't have the action you require then maybe consider a different MPC combined with a separate controller.

"If it's not consistent then it's absolutely a fault. If it's consistently not picking up very light touches" ...
Sadly they are full on not light It's my first MPC so is really off putting. Maybe it is just a hardware fault? They will send me a replacement I think.

Send it back to the retailer, don't bother with Akai support for any kind of 'dead on arrival' issues, it's the retailer's responsibility and most of them will refund or exchange without any hassle. What you don't want to do is accept a repair or 'investigation', just tell the retailer it's not working properly and you want a new one or a refund. Companies like Andertons will pick it up and refund the next day.

Thank you. Appreciate the advice.

I had notes not playing when I hit them but seems okay now after I deleted the project and started again. I am new to the MPC Key 61 so no idea why. Was sending it back but find it quite awesome when it works well. The keybed isn't my favorite but maybe something to improve for the MKII

No further issues here and have to say this is the best workstation that I ever owned. I loved my Oasys but it wasn't fun to make songs on. The Akai is so much more immediate and user friendly. Just fantastic and so glad I stuck with it. So basically I have zero bug reports.

Glad you got it all sorted. Don't worry, you'll find some bugs soon!

I have the MPC Live 2 with 2.12 (I have also tried the 2.11 with same results).

I noticed that when I play a drum beat with kick+snare, occasionally, one of the beat sound gets "distorted" as in it seems like it was not played completely (or as if as it choked on that note). It will be ok immediately after and then occasionally it happened again. Sometimes it takes longer before it happens and sometimes it happens more often for a short moment and it's okay for a while. Anybody know what happened?

Something like this may only happen when the same exact sample is being played at the sametime. Maybe try using sample offset in the program editor by delaying one of them just little & see is that helps. But this shouldn't be happening.
