That's where if you leave the next seq screen before the sequence changes it won't trigger.


Yes its fixed in 1.7.
I was JUST doing this actually, lol.


This bug still exists for me when choosing next sequence using pads via the next sequence button, however it works well if next sequence is chosen from main screen just like it did in 1.6. Prior to 1.6 this was not the case, the pads would remember to switch even if you navigated to another page which I found preferable. Hopefully it can be sorted as I prefer to work that way. 1.7 has been fantastic though.

Upgrade path: 1.2 Install Disc > Update 1.6 > Update 1.7
Note: Install is licensed and officially updated via normal upgrade path (no hacks, etc.)

Issue:

Drag and drop to pad from external file browsers (Windows Explorer, Search Everything) is not working since 1.6 > 1.7 update. I used this feature to quickly create kits and programs previously.
Attempting to drag in drop on 1.7 creates the black "no smoking" symbol versus the pointer-plus icon.

As far as I know, issue is exclusive to Windows PCs, as Mac user have not reported it.

Anyone on Windows that can try it out and report their findings?


works for me. i'm on windows 8 and using the 32 bit MPC software...

The first few times using 1.7 everything seemed to be fine and I was full of hope that those damn random crashes had finally disappeared (software colses, window pops up saying that connection has been interrupted). Unfortunately, they returned yesterday (hadn't saved for about an hour, lots of work out the window :WTF: ) and I cannot determine why they occur. Anybody else have similar experiences?

ok, so its 40 deg here. I'm not turning on heater yet. so I'm rocking gloves. {the ones that let you use the iPhone touch screen while wearing gloves.}

i/we know the q knobs have sensors to trigger by touch.

Knob does not work with gloves on! even the black sides. {plastic} won't allow me to adjust q knob? trip

i guess its not a bug but really? they have to have flesh to operate?

I guess this bug is exclusive to Win7 x64! I contacted Akai support about it and wadaya know, I get a response...4 days later.

Your tweet to Pete asking if he had heard of the problem was responded to with a "No", so I doubt it will be getting fixed anytime soon.

Trying to get on the list homie.

I don't expect it to be fixed overnight, I knew what I was getting myself into when I picked this thing up... :WTF: :Sigh:

It doesn't seem to be affecting a LOT of people, I personally find it to be a minor inconvenience. DEFINITELY, not the end of the world. The jobs will get done, plus I have my 4k riding shotgun.

It's not like I requested a feature, just a small code fix (at least it should be)

Have you found anyone else having the same problem?

I guess you have to convince Pete that it is a widespread problem, not just something weird going on with your particular computer.

Loading hybrid while sequence is running still causes hiccups in timing...
