New features

MPC now supports MPC Key 37

Feature improvements

On standalone you can now set a project to be automatically loaded after startup. To set an auto load project, go to Preferences > Project Load/Save and use the Auto Load File field. To clear it, tap the X button.
If the Preferences > Project Defaults > New Project Dialog is set to Off then the project will be loaded on startup.
If the preference is not set to Off, then choosing Empty Project from that dialog on startup will result in the following:
If there’s an auto load project, MPC will load the auto load project.
If there’s no auto load project, MPC will create an empty project.
If there’s an auto load project, hold SHIFT and press Empty Project, to bypass the autoload and create an empty project.

MPC Key 61 and Key 37 now have a chord function.
Play a chord on the keybed and then press SHIFT + LATCH to enter Chord Mode. Now any key pressed on the keyboard plays the learned chord shape transposed to the pressed note. Note the first note pressed in a chord is the ‘home’ note with respect to the transposition.
On standalone you can now download plugin content to the internal drive. From Preferences > Activate Plugins go to the Content Download Drive section and change the selected drive to Internal.
The shift state of the UNDO button, REDO, now has clearer visual feedback. Whilst holding SHIFT:
If you can redo an operation, the button is lit full bright.
If you cannot redo an operation, the button is lit dim.
Stability and reliability

MPC Software will now launch successfully on Windows computers with CPUs that have a very large number of cores e.g. AMD Ryzen Threadripper series chips.
An issue that caused the Wi-Fi enable/disable button in Preferences to be inaccessible has been corrected.
Graphics for instrument expansions now appear correctly in Sounds pages.
An issue that caused the MPC Key 37 keyboard to become unresponsive has been corrected.
Known issues

Some users of MPC Software with macOS Sonoma on some Intel-chip Macs may experience the software GUI becoming transparent. Apple advise updating to 14.3 or higher to fix this problem.
