Hey there!

I have the latest firmware and drivers installed in my MPC X SE. I use this pretty much as my midi centerpiece to programm and produce tracks with several mididevices.

If a project becomes a bit bigger like around 30 different tracks including Midi Tracks, Drumprograms and Audiotracks it sometimes is impossible to write midi Automation in the Grid or Arrangemode without the MPC getting stuck for minutes or it even crashes sometimes, which is an unacceptable behaviour in my eyes and it really kills my workflow! :fku:

Has anyone similar experiences or any solution for this?

Thank you very much for your help, Dr Woe
