I have MPC One and I have (but not yet installed / registered) :

OPX4
Mini D

Could anybody please recommend a firmware version that works with these synths?

I have the lastest firmware downloaded and ready to install on a USB stick, or should I use an older version due to bugs?

Thanks for reading.

I can only use 2.11.4 with the model 12 and it works also with OPX4 .
I understand that Mini D can be use with 2.11.7, but there are quite a few bugs using it with an audio interface in 2.11.7, if that is also your concern.

I don't believe there is a such thing as a bugless version. You should install the latest and use it to see if you the bugs that do exist make it unusable for you. The bugs that exist are not the stop your machine from running type of bugs for the most part. They are more a feature isn't working right or etc. Overall the current OS is stable. A lot of bugs that exist may not even affect your machine or you probably won't even encounter the scenario where those bugs appear. It's best to ignore the chatter and get hands on and then decide what's a game stopper for you.

I’m gonna +1 on SuperKonquer.

I’ve not yet run into a bug that brick walls me where I can’t make beats. Not even close to brickwalling. Yes some features are flowers’d up, BUT, it won’t stop you at all.

Some synths “started” on a certain version firmware, so that’s where they start (figure it tha flowers out), be aware of that.

Starting on the latest is solid advice.

Thanks guys much appreciated

That's what I was hoping to hear.

I'm happy to try 2.11.7 first and start working backwards through firmware versions if I encounter a bug that kills my workflow.

That's what you should have done from the beginning.
Forward or backward.
