Hi All,

Am encountering this strange issue that when I use my desktop (win10) at home in controller mode I have no problems with any saved project, even if its created in standalone mode, but when am traveling some of the exact same project files won't open up in controller mode on a MacOs MacBook. But when I go in standalone mode the files do show the content of the song&programs and work but switching back to controller mode on MacOs Macbook somehow all the sequences are reset too default. on Win10 am not having this issue at all with any of my projects., I can switch back and forth between standalone and controller mode and it all works. Any idea?

You know people it seems have more problems with Mac OS than with Win 10. When l had my MPC live l didn't have problems with Win 10. Only problem l had was not being able to open up plugins in and that was due to Akai not Win 10.

I think Apple move to fast on their upgrades and a lot of people move to fast on up grading. From Win7 to 10 has been stable.

I will never use a Mac to do my music ever again!

I have not upgraded my macOS just so that I don't run into issues and have followed Akai's compatibility advice, but still, this it's not working.

Problem solved, it was the software version on my macbook that needed to be upgraded to align with the software version on the WIN10 machine.
