Have you tried plugging you phone into the usb, and setting that to be the wifi?

MPC One doesn't have wifi, but that's how I installed the Jura today.[/quote]

Yeah that works, you can use usb tethering to get to the plugin page. Usb tethering / hotspot should work simultaneously as well if someone needs to validate their profile with the authorizations page as well.

Steps: plug in usb to the phone / mpc, enable tethering on the phone and go to settings set network addressing to auto. should work then.[/quote]

Perhaps not iPhone? I've only received unrecognized device warnings.

I don't know what "natively" means but USB tethering with an iPhone works on Linux without any Apple-made software. Maybe not on Akai's Linux though. Didn't seem to do anything on my Force 3.2.3.

Right - USB tethering with an iPhone works on PC as well. Nothing on my Live II either.

That actually may be a carrier restriction believe it or not. I remember years ago people complaining about AT&T blocking tethering or using your iPhone as a hotspot because they wanted you buying another line for service instead heh.. I was an Android guy around then, just barely got my first iPhone like 3 years ago, so no clue if that was truth or not. Hotspot works fine on AT&T nowadays, have had to use it a couple times when working from home when our internet went down hah. Of course doesn't help when you have no wireless devices to connect to it.

Have to chime in and say that this is really a good one.

Not really been sold on any of the other instruments, although i used hype for a few tracks.
Dissapointed by the fabric xl sample library as well (the nasal strings, forexample, yuck), but this is really useable.

7 notes polyphony as well :worthy:

This, delay pro and a GOOD reverb Pro and I wont ask for more :mrgreen:

I remember back in 2013 when people were saying 'I only need audio tracks, nothing more and I'll be happy'. :-D


there will always be more but I think audio tracks without the arranger view is kinda shit for adding external synths to beats
