Hey guys I would like to know where I can download this version of the mpc firmware for key 61. I just bought my mpc 61 from guitar center and want a backup of this version of the firmware in case the upgrade goes south. I'm reading many bugs and things related to these upgrades. So in case the upgrade turns to s*** I can go back to this version and return this unit to guitar center. So far the unit is awesome, but does have bugs.
BTW: Whats best stable version?

Firmware 2.11.0

Maybe because it was a test and someone forgot to overwrite it.
2.11.3 and up is official.

Website starts with 2.11.5 though.
I started w/ 2.11.0 already installed on the Keys61, day one purchase.
I upgraded to 2.11.3 afterwards.
For Keys61 I saved 2.11.3 and all fw after from the website.

Oh ok that makes sense, so heres another dumb question, is there a way to backup the firmware from key 61 (2.11.0) before update? I get a feeling that it wont have that plugin de-activation bug in it thats why I ask, its factory firmware.

No way to back up firmware and it will have the de-activation bug. Just update to the latest firmware and enjoy your MPC.

No bugs that are going to stop you making music, the other day for example my keys were on from 9.15am until 10pm. 8 plug-in tracks, 8 audio tracks. Lots of effects. Not one problem. Just good music was made
