I have to admit, I thought the icons werent that much of an improvement but after having played a lot with Maschine lately - this surely helped finding the right access point again when I reviewed it just now ...

dont download the .img thats for USB update only ... you need MPC2.6UpdaterMac.zip for the firmware update and MPC-v2.6Mac.zip for the software - both contain .pkgs

there is no image file inside that could be corrupted - you need to download the .ZIP file, when you extract it it has a folder inside that holds a .app file to install ... you are obviously referring to the .img file - that is meant for USB firmware update as I wrote previously.

firmware update is almost at the bottom of the page for me and on top you find the software under: NEW: MPC 2.6 (MPC Live) the link goes like: https://cdn.inmusicbrands.com/akai[..not allowed to ditribute...]MPC-v2.6Mac.zip that contains a folder:

MPC-Installer-2.6.0.16
-- Install MPC 2.6.0.16.app


this is what i downloaded extracted and tried to open https://www.dropbox.com/s/ssvxl34ft5jdc ... M.png?dl=0

looks like the correct download to me - looks however more like a OSX gatekeeper issue ...

for that reason you might have to completely disable Gatekeeper checks, and to do that open your terminal and type:

sudo spctl --master-disable

Your mac password will be required. then run the installer - next enable gatekeeper again

sudo spctl --master-enable
