I'm not sure I have the x64 expansion updates where can I find the correct versions of the expansions with x64 .dll's?

thanks

No, the disc image downloads on the Akai community forum are the same as the installation discs that you probably already have.


Inside the updater download zip file, there should be version 1.3 updates for the individual expansion packs, are you running those?


RTFM, Step 4?...
The MPC Update Walkthrough PDF, as supplied with the update download, wrote:MPC UPDATE WALKTHROUGH
PC & OS X
1. Power up & connect your MPC Renaissance to your computer.
2. If running, close the MPC Software. Updates will not complete if the MPC Software is running.
3. Launch ‘Update MPC’. Click 'Update' where updates are available, and follow onscreen instruction.
4. Afterwards, run each individual MPC Expansion Update (4 included).

1. I downloaded 1.5 for Pc here > http://www.akaipro.com/product/mpcrenaissance#downloads
2.There is no file in the zip that offers 1.3 expansion packs.


I've read the 1.5 manual,and haven't found one thing regarding this in the 1.5 manual, I wasn't even interested in the expansions until they we're x64. Still none of this answers my questions,as to why they are not showing up, or how to get them to, but thanks..


Perhaps I'll try version 1.3 lol

Ok so the expansion packs aren't in the 1.5 release for Pc, this might want to be fixed in an update such as 1.6, how would any new customer even know that if they go for the latest update...

So Reading the **** MANUAL won't help, until the latest **** MANUAL is updated!! :fku:

:lol: Don't know what you are looking at. :hmmm:

I am looking at...
Update-MPC-v1.5-Windows.zip

Which I just downloaded from the Akai website.

Inside that is a folder named...
Update-MPC-v1.5-Windows

Inside that folder is...
MPC Update Walkthrough.pdf
THE 809 - 1.3 Update.exe
The BANK - 1.3 Update.exe
THE NOISE - 1.3 Update.exe
THE WUB - 1.3 Update.exe
Update MPC.exe
installer_assets Folder


Same things are in the 1.4 update download.

All good, as long as you got it going.

I was wondering WTF you were looking at, as I was seeing it here. :hmmm: :fku: :lol:


But this is another one of those aspects that they have not handled very well, and has confused many users.

Step 4 in the 1.5 Walkthrough PDF, that mentions the need to update the expansion packs, was not in the 1.4 Walkthrough PDF.
