Warp settings still there. On the left in preferences, drag the menu upwards to reveal 'General'.

I think that How we have to Load the Synth Folder onto our SD/HDD, kinda opens the door for Other 3rd Party VSTi Support....Hopefully

Do you mean if you buy one of Akai's sample expansions you don't have access to re-download it, say, 6 months later if you were to lose it or if there was an update?

That’s some early 2000’s account style function.

giving us great free updates
and continuing to fix bugs and address the various issues
i recall people saying they did not care about having synths or that they did not want any more built in synths but i bet they gone silent or changed minds now init?
MPC-Tutor wrote:Well, Akai use Fastspring to handle all their expansion sales, I've also used them previously (but not any more). Fastspring are actually a reseller rather than a payment processor, so your invoice is actually with Fastspring, not Akai and Fastspring handle the delivery of the expansions.
Fastspring have a 7 day expiry time on their initial download links and they also give vendors the option to offer the customer a 1 year extended download (for $, which is split 50/50 between Fastspring and the vendor). Vendors can disable that option - I never realised anyone actually activated that option.
So after 7 days the link expires but the vendor can reset the original download link at the customer's request, at no cost to the vendor and this can be reset an unlimited number of times. I would assume/hope Akai would do this if you asked them directly, it literally takes 30 seconds.
fastspring also offer quite a comprehensive backend integration which I used to automatically create a copy of each Fastspring order on my own site, so customers can log in at MPC-Samples and re-download whenever they wanted, no limits. I'm surprised Akai haven't used that API to do something similar.
