MPC X Screen Sleeping

My screen will go to sleep after a minute or so regardless if I am working on the controller or not

I have my screen setting on "Never" sleep

This started occurring after recent updates--it never happened before

I have contacted support several weeks ago, but I have yet to receive a response

Is anyone else having this issue?

I thought I saw some complaints about it on gearslutz.

Im having this issue too

Somebody's gotta help us with this.

Is it on daylight or night?

I had this problem with the Live when I setted it at Night. But was gone when I switched back to Daylight

Zero issues with this on either my live or X. Latest update.

I’ve been having the same problem with my MPC X since updating to 2.2.1. It happens in controller mode only for me. I put several bug reports into the software team, but of course they don’t respond back.

Yes mines too when in controller mode

1 year later and numerous updates and the sleep issues are continuing.

I’m in controller mode—day setting.

Happens in the software too. There are settings in there to disable the screensaver for certain conditions, and none of them work properly. I can be sitting here in the middle of playing back a song or working on the Studio hardware itself editing a sample or something and the display on my Mac will go to sleep while Im in the middle of working. Its like the controls from the Studio don't register at all with the Mac like 'NO SOMEONE TOUCHED A KEY DONT GO TO SLEEP'. Have to wiggle the mouse to wake it up every time.

And then of course, there have been a couple times where I had to leave, left the MPC Software up and running, came home an hour or two later, and my screen is still wide awake where I left it. Do they even know how to implement basic OS level features like that? It doesn't even respond to normal Mac OS system stuff like double clicking the title bar to maximize the window and a few hot keys as well. I have Qt and GTK based apps that integrate better with the OS.

Still an issue, at least on my 2020 M1 MacBook and the MPC Studio MK2. Looks like it is a huge challenge for these people to fix this

Apple does random changes quite often and does care one bit about backwards compatibility, so i'd rather put that on them.
Maybe running app in full screen mode will help. Or you can use Automator to create a shortcut that disables/enables the screensaver.

I suppose this goes for your computer.

If you are on macOS, try using JOLT (available in the App Store) to prevent your screensaver for a set amount of time (or forever until turned off manually).
I‘ve used it for several years since I need my laptop on auto-sleep for work reasons.

Can‘t help for Win, though.
