Has anyone had a crash or reboot of the machine happen? I'm a newer user and just got the MPC One, updated it to 2.9.1.

I was inside the sample editor slicing up a sample, had about 8 slices in a longer sample about a minute long. I turned off link slices and added my next slice inside an existing slice a I had. So think you had slice #8, then you add slice #9 inside say slice #4. All of a sudden I get a crash type dialog and the machine quickly rebooted. It did not auto-save so I lost some work - but it wasn't the worst thing in the world.

I'm wondering if this has been anything anyone has experienced with firmware updates in the past? I understand that pouncing on the most recent firmware is always risky, but I'm wondering how long you often wait with this gear to update. Some people on other equipment wait a few months.

I sent a detailed support message to akai about it, but since there's no real debug info I can send them afaik they'll just have to try to reproduce the bug with testing.

Thanks in advance,

I'm on my 3rd current generation MPC and never had this happen. Sorry
