So I just watched Ave Mcree's video on Youtube this AM and I decided to do a firmware update on my Key 61 to see if it was indeed in the full build of MPC 3.0. When it was done it changed to version 3.4.1 and all that extra ish behind the version number was gone that was there before. Is this indeed the "final" build of MPC 3.0? If so, Splice integration is still hosed for me. Anyone figure out how to fix that? TIA for replies. Peace.

did they do ANYTHING in regards to the f'ing Beta requests and bugs etc? or just decide its time, throw in some new plugins to buy and call it day.

Ongoing Improvements
We deeply appreciate the feedback from our MPC 3 beta users. Two key areas—Time
Signature Support and the MIDI Note Off issue—have been at the forefront of your input.
Please rest assured that we are actively working to address these concerns in a future update.

Bug Fixes
• Key and Tempo detection now occurs when importing samples
• Loop brace can now be moved and resized in Grid view
• Drum Pads as Stems option now appears correctly in save selection after changing the
current track's type
• Samples with the same file names will now have their name appended on import and can
be saved correctly
• Sample combobox callout menu has been resized to view longer sample names
• Keygroup Portamento time can now be adjusted correctly with the data dial
• In the Copy Sequence function, the “To” field will now be set to the next available
unused sequence
• No longer possible to create a trackless project after updating to 3.4
• Bouncing audio no longer resets the MIDI Output port for MIDI tracks
• Projects with high memory plugins can now be saved and loaded without error
• Using Stems multiple times on new samples no longer causes a saving error
• Warning pop-out now appears when attempting to save when using a sample from an
external drive that has been removed
• MIDI and CV tracks can now be recorded to when in a muted state
• Export in Song Mode now operates correctly first time
• In Convert Song to Sequence, the “Ignore track mutes” parameter now works correctly
regardless of the Track Mutes per Sequence setting
• Resolved an issue with imported MPC2 Projects loading with samples missing from
drum tracks
• In grid view with a melodic track the keyboard notes displayed on the grid will now play
back when tapped
• In grid view with a drum track the pad previews can now be triggered when tapped for
Note On and Note Off settings
• Resolved an issue where certain track volumes were not saved with the project
• Progress pop-out now appears whilst Convert to Audio Track is processing
• In the Copy Pads function, the “From Track” is now set to the currently selected track
• Resolved an issue with Sample Edit preview where playback would fail if tail length is
set for the sample in track edit
• Resolved an issue where certain notes would not playback correctly after recording
beyond the track length when set independently from the sequence length
• MIDI Control setup now saves with the project
• Resolved an issue where samples are not assigned when loading an Audio track

Known issues
• In Activations, a license error can occur which deactivates previously activated plugins
• Whilst offline, unit startup can take longer to complete
• Certain plugins are not shown on the activations list immediately after updating. This
resolves after restarting the device.
• Re-saving an existing project after target storage medium has been force ejected and
replaced results in missing samples on re-load
• Loading a demo project from the Demo launch page opens the project with no tracks
armed for recording
• Loading a drum track containing a very large sample - around 1GB in size - to RAM can
cause MPC to crash
• Keygroups:
o When changing a track to a keygroup track, the instance does not load the
expected default Keygroup template of parameter values
o Note Counter routed to Pan does not spread correctly
o The values of Aftertouch to Cutoff or Pressure to Filter parameters in duplicated
keygroup tracks follow the value set in the original track, not their own value
o AKP files will not load

After installing MPC 3.4.1 onto my MPC One, the screen on the unit is now blank; however, the buttons and pads still seem to be functioning.

Friends, the MPC One+ is actually turned on in standalone mode and the system notifies me of a new firmware update that I was able to do via WiFi. There are also 3 new instruments - Analog Dreams, - Cloud Supply and Natch (Native Instruments) to purchase and activate. Enjoy!

I installed version 3.4.1 and now when I boot up the MPC X SE in standalone I get the following message: "1 of your plugin content folder(s) could not be found. Please, check that your storage media is attached. Do you wish to keep scanning this location for content?" I've restarted a few times. I checked to make sure my SSD was working properly and that all of my plugins are usable. They're all good. I never got this notification on the beta.

looks like its no longer possible to update to 2.15.1 from 2.15.0 online now.

You can only update to 3.4.1
:roll:

which in my book is still a beta version given the official list of issues and omissions.

Actually, its an alpha version in my book if I am honest, since essential removed features arent implemented yet.

Its like moving into an unfinished house with construction work nearly completed.
Then, just before its finished you are told to move to another house, which is still under construction.

WHY.

It looks like 2.X is officially abandoned.

Is it really that hard to give us the Repitch for people who want to keep the classic mpc workflow?

I **** hate all these FL trap beat makers forcing Akai to stop making mpcs.
