that's why they fit a 16 level physical button and not a track mute physical button :D
By wavejockey Fri Sep 22, 2017 11:19 am
they have fitted it with a list edit button, is that working?
will that be working in THE update or will we have to wait 2018?

nobody knows or nobody wants to disclose

looking for alternatives more&more - certainly not @ this price

I don’t want to return my Live, I really don’t. At this point however, just to be spiteful, I’m inclined to do so. Good thing 2.0 also works, and will continue to work with my Ren. Just disallow the app from connecting to the web if that’s what it’ll come to.. P Goodclit should be replaced with someone who can meet deadlines. 5 months after launch for advertised functionality is pathetic.

It is, but that´s how these mofos are doing business. Best to not buy their crap and let them die a slow and painful death!

I'll surely won't buy anything else from Akai, but I'm not giving up on the Live yet as there's nothing else like it that works standalone.
What really bugs me is the lack of editable automation in standalone, if all we'll get will be an editable list, it will be an insult, especially when you have a **** touchscreen.

I haven't tried, but when in controller mode, can you edit automations from th ehardware?

Yeah how dare they release a product that over heats, locks up, crashes with a buggy OS that will eventually bankrupt the company :WTF:

Wait wasn't that the Linn 9000 :Sigh:

With an OS so buggy they knowingly put it in the next two products, now that's a bastard :fku:

:worthy: :P :lol: lol P-Goodclit lol omg thats funny.
They won't replace him with some one that will be on time. They would have to pay that person more money.
Plus fit their non sense.
For a major change they gotta clean house! THE WHOLE HOUSE FROM THE TOP DOWN!

What’s up NOC!

Hiring someone with more advanced programming abilities for an additional 50 stacks is certainly worth the investment as opposed to missing out on potential revenue that is being diverted to competitors.

I don’t care about wifi or Bluetooth. I just want the damn real-time timestretch in stand-alone. That code/technology has existed for over a decade. One programmer by them selves could have implemented this over the year+ timeframe in which 2.0 was allegedly under development.

Akai, show me what you got! :smoker:

As far as I can see, you can only control automation with the qlinks from the hardware.. and switch some funtcions on and off with the touch screen.. You can't draw automation lines..

WATS THE DEAL FRANKWHITE!
I don't cate for blue tooth nor wifi l don't need that to make music. Never did never will.

You hit it in the head bro. But they will not pay 50 stacks. They live buggin out.
Plus a top programmer won't just take 50 stacks they will want more.

Looks like overbridge for Digitakt isn’t out yet either, what five or six months later? And now that I think of it when I bought my Rytm, overbridge was a key reason for choosing it over a Tempest ... and it took the guts of a year to before they released a version that worked reliably for me.

Seems to me that in 2017 releasing hardware when the OS and features are only like 75% done is pretty standard practice for a lot of manufacturers. I guess what I learned from the rytm was to take the box in the state that it’s in when you get it and see if it works for you, instead of sweating on what might be around the corner ... and when. Because if a box that’s 75%+ feature complete fundamentally isn’t doing it for you, odds are that the 25% that might be in future updates wont change that.

All good advice what about caveat #3.....

What do you do when your told stuff is in the machine.... you buy the machine and the stuff is not there.
