I get the above message when loading one of my projects. I'm on 2.10.1 but was one 2.11 for a short time. Is Bus Compressor a 2.11 plugin that perhaps I used and is now no longer there? I'd love to find a complete list of all the plugins for each firmware version!

EDIT: And sometimes it complains that it didn't load Hype. Different project. What's going on?

buss compressor is the new name for master compressor (they no longer use 'master' anywhere in the software, also program edit > master is now 'global').

When you saved the project in 2.11 it changed the name of master compressor to bus compressor, so 2.10 doesn't recognise it. In an XPM file you can open in a text editor and replace any occurrence of the phrase 'bus compressor' to 'master compressor', I believe the plugin ID number is unchanged. Probably do the same with a project file if the compressor was applied to submixes or master.

In case anyone else has similar issues. The Bus Compressor error was caused by the problem MPC-Tutor said. Cool.
The Hype error only happened if I was using the MPC in connected mode. My Desktop software was version 2.11 and my MPC 2.10. I suspect an incompatibility is the cause but I cannot find a 2.10 Desktop Software download to test this. Akai's website is monumentally crap. If anyone knows where I can get previous versions of MPC Desktop I'd be super grateful.

Word, I also need a 2.10 software version so let's hope someone has a link.

Hi,

I can´t find where the master compressor is on my desktop to change the name. Any ideas where it would be? I´ve lost all my projects because they won´t load because of the bus compressor error.

You don't change the plugin itself, you have to open up the program files (XPM, in the projectData folder) and potentially project files (XPJ) in a text editor and change the occurrences of 'master' to 'bus'. Re-save and you'll be good to go.
