The free Expansions might be available to download from the Akai website, after you log in to your account on there?



That likely could be the case, some of the Arturia software analog synths respond the same way, while others don't. Also with expect for Novation Bass Station Stereo and V-Station. The korg Legacy pack responses the same way as Hybrid 3 in the level peaking.

go to track mix

load vst

click to open vst and allow you to edit vst with q links

navigate away from vst window (hit main, pgm edit, whatever)

go back to track mixer and click VST

q-links cant be used to edit vst until you close the vst and re-open it

Win7

Message:
Project made with earlier version, will import and backup.
Ooops backup error unable to backup project.


CPU meter much higher than with 1.6


Setup that never crashed has crashed 5 times in less than an hour

Panning all to hell on existing projects

:Sigh:

It's random but, quitting the program causes the program to crash unexpectedly.

Studio/OSX 10.9.4

Renaissance Mac OSX 10.9.4

Went to adjust the volume of pad A6 in the program mixer and it automatically recorded my adjustment as automation. Was not recording/overdubbing...just playback.

Pad automation is recorded via the automation button on the program channel, not via transport recording. Are you sure weren't in automation write mode?

This is why I'm gonna wait to install 1.7. If Akai has taught me anything in the past few years, it is not to trust them, especially on their initial shot at something. I can't afford to mess up my projects.

sequencer timing hiccups if load hybrid while sequencer is playing. Does not occur with the other builtin plug ins or Komplete instruments.

'This program has no pads' graphical anomalies when navigating from track to track while in Prog Mix (Pad Edit/mixer). Does it on all tabs except the 'Level' tab.

Reproduce:

load up a program on track 1 and VST (like Hybris) on Track 2 and create a basic seq

press 'Prog Edit' on controller and press 'Level' tab

navigate to upper right where "Trk:" is located

Use knob or +/- to navigate from track 1 to trk 2 and then to trk 3 (should be no graphics problems)

Press Any other tab (ie Insert)

Press +/- to or knob to navigate past track 2 and back to track 1 (should see display jumble 'This program has n o pads' banner does not completely disappear)

Go back to 'Level' tab and it goes back to normal....
