2.0.6. Out Now!!

ps: just looked at my midi in monitor light at top of screen in software and touch screen and it is constantly flashing, so there seems to be a midi jamming issue on the return as my set tempo jumps around also, NOT GOOD!!!!

I deal with Midi out into the Live and I have no problems, when I want to go back to my computer I just move my Midi to usb back over to my computer and everything works fine. That's why I asked.
I hope you get that resolved quickly.

I have reported it to Akai, it basically works if i have it going to my Roland TB-3 just sending midi clock out but plays out of time with rest of sequence, hence why i usually turn on midi clock sync on MPC which keeps it tight.

The minute i do that everytime i hit play the sequence just immediately stops, really peed off with this as i have a setup where TB-3 plays random sounds and is very good inspo tool to get me working.

This was all good in 2.0.4.16 and i wanna go back there but am gonna miss drum warping which i have waiting for for ages (i use my MPC X mainly in controller mode) hopefully akai come with a fix soon.

So what exactly where the additions/improvements compared to the version before this?

Definitely not good.

All I see is that CM mode now has the same features as SM mode.

MPC Version 2.0.6 Release Notes
Important:

MPC now supports macOS 10.13 High Sierra.
This software is for 64-bit operation only.

Compatibility

The MPC 2.0 release can be controlled by MPC X, MPC Live, MPC Touch, MPC Studio Black, MPC Studio, MPC Renaissance and MPC Element.

Integration for pads, pad colors and bank switching for MPK225, MPK249 and MPK261 has now been added.

Integration for pads for MPD218, MPD226 and MPD232 has now been added.

New Features

Dual monitor support: MPC can now display a second window. In the status bar, click on the Mixer Window icon to open the second window; this can be configured to display the Pad Mixer, the Channel Mixer or both at the same time. If you are working on a single large monitor, then use the Mixer Window alongside the Main window to work on multiple operations at the same time.

Support for Ableton Link has now been added to the MPC desktop software. In the GUI, go to View > Toolbar > Show Sync; on the TUI, go to the Mode Menu toolbar and use the Sync dropdown menu. Ableton Link synchronizes beat, phase and tempo of Link-enabled applications over a wireless or wired network.

Audio Tracks: You can now record and edit audio in MPC.

Multi-track recording: The desktop software can now access up to 32 simultaneous mono inputs to record a multi-track performance. Record enable multiple audio tracks by holding Ctrl and clicking on their record enable buttons. Alternatively, in the Channel Mixer select multiple audio track channel strips and click record enable on one of the selected strips.
New recording modes: You can now configure Punch-In and Record Start modes so you can record at a specific location on the timeline. The Record Start setting is useful if you are an instrumentalist; click Record Start on, and now you can press record whilst the sequence is in playback and the recording will wait until the sequence loops around before beginning, giving you time to get comfortable on your instrument. To configure the record mode, go to the TUI or LCD Locate popup or GUI Toolbar.
Audio tracks have a waveform-style editor (in the software window, click the Audio tab below the mode icons; in the touchscreen, tap the Audio tab in Main Mode, and enter Audio Edit Mode [waveform icon on the left]).
Audio samples can now be dragged and dropped onto an audio track from your computer or the software’s Browser.
A dedicated audio track channel strip controls the track’s level, panning, record-arm status, monitor, mute/solo status, effects and more while recording and editing.
Audio editing enables you to split, stretch, duplicate, mute, or move regions of an audio track.
You can adjust region parameters from TUI Audio Edit mode or the GUI Audio Editor’s region parameter bar. Adjust the level, pitch, BPM, playback direction or mute state of individual audio regions.

THERE'S A LOT MORE ON THEIR SITE.

Those release notes cover all the features from the previous beta releases combined rather than just the 2.04 > 2.06 changes. Basically it's adding all the standalone 2.0.5 features to 'controller mode', plus there's a few little tweaks here and there.

Well thats from their site. That's what they claiming.

No chance we find out about stand-alone hardrive streaming until winter ma’am? They have been beta testing this for almost a year now right?

I'd also love a feature where the MPC'd refer to the samples in their original location instead of always collecting them to the project folder, taking up HD space.

That won't work because sometimes you process samples trough timestretching or pitchshifting. it will change the sample itself. And if you are also using the sample in a different project it wil also be timestretched or pitchshifted in that program.

That’s why we also need sample save state ^
They can do something similar like Static Machines on the Octatrack
