Hi guys,

Just some (maybe) useful info for heads up:

my SD card appeared and disappeared after going to controller mode. Thought it was a hardware issue from the Live but.... after using another 'old' usb cable it is working fine.
So the standard blue usb cable in the box seems to be a problem in some cases (also read this on the akai forum).

Peace!

I had a similar issue: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=183482

I never used the blue cable that came with the MPC, I bought one for my 1000 a while ago and I'm using that one. Ejecting the SD card and SSD drive from my Live before going into controller mode fixed the problem. It should be noted you must also eject your SD card from your computer before going back into standalone
