How to capture screenshot?

Dude on facebook figured it out on force:

Etienne Burguet
Ok found the trick, to capture press in the same time " Select + Edit + Copy + Delete" . it will make a capture in default folder "/media/az01-internal-sd/Force Documents/Screenshots" . If it it's not working, then press Shift + ( Select + Edit + Copy + Delete), it will open a popup allowing to choose the location of the capture. Choose a location, and close the popup, then press again the 4 buttons (Select + Edit + Copy + delete) to take the capture. Below an example of capture

Dope find Ultros

Etienne Burguet <--- found it not me, but hell yeah.

so how do we do this on the MPC ? people can ask ?s on this forum much better if they have screenshots of the problem/scenario.

I dont know yet dok i know its present, but I cant figure out the key combo lol. I'm desperately trying it is likely something similar.

Gave it 30 minutes on the MPC One, nothing yet. I always assumed it would involve buttons that on their own don't change the screen view, like note repeat, full level, shift, transport etc. Frustrating and illogical that Akai don't make this info available, but hopefully someone is going to work this out eventually. SSH screenshots work fine of course, but reliant on third parties to hack the firmware first.

the "select" button on mpc x (in the center of the directional pad) is the same as encoder knob press on mpc one it may involve that.

I've given it atleast an hour today until i gave up and started making a beat lol i will keep trying eventually somethings gotta happen.

I also find it super annoying they wouldnt put that info in the frickin manual, is that really such a top secret feature? lol.

They frickin know we're over here struggling to be their tech support atleast HELP US help the people they don't want to help.

the proceedure is shift + a,b,c,d bank buttons together, but it doesnt save when I assign it to usb stick

ok the procedure for OS 3.4.2 is shift + bank a,b,c,d together to select location (usb), then a,b,c,d to take screenshot

only when you have 'dev-mode' leftovers (file or directory) on your drive. It used to work with this combination since early 2.x firmwares. It won't work after the version where they disabled dev-mode lookup. You can still enable it by physically patching the executable though.

You know we cant afford no next gen mpc put it back put it back right now. Git that discount sampler. Little mf think money just grows on trees... lolol

lolol

apparently there's a dude who's written an alternative os for these boxes, I stumbled across a reel of it at some point. visually it's... well, let's just say it looks like as if it was pulled straight from claude codes ass in one sitting and nobody questioned afterwards. That said it actually seems to add a few features these boxes should've had from day one. haven't looked into it, but I'd guess the DSP side probably reflects a healthy dose of yolo mode (or whatever tf it's called) where you just accept whatever the ai spits out and hope for the best.
It's not something I'm personally interested in using, but I genuinely like that it exists for two reasons,
first, experimentation will put pressure on Akai to keep improving the platform (whom am I trying to lie to lol),
second, it exposes the double standards you often see in all those mpc circle jerk communities where the same people who obsess over sonics and sound quality will happily tear apart established companies that have teams of engineers and years of DSP work behind their products, yet they'll praise completely unoptimised, claude generated vibe plugins as "fire", even when many of them sound virtually identical to each other or just plain bad. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that if you think about it, code has become so cheap that the only thing that really matters now is time. You can always generate more code but you can't generate years of DSP knowledge lol
anyway, it's impressive work not many would waste time on.

I havent seen it, I probably wont go looking. My gear is in a big storage container atm. There's no reason anyone couldnt roll a rom for the hardware, all you would need to know or extrapolate from their system is the dtbo. device tree blob object or some shit... it's a compiled blob pertaining to disk layout for embedded systems. Build a new kernel and rootfs and slap it on. May have to clone the rootfs uuid for the bootloader to init the kernel which would also need to be named correctly and placed in the right spot.

The inmusic guys just used buildroot if you were inclined you should be able to boot some armhf linux through magic once into the installer remove the disk layout and set up a proper disk layout with a real bootloader. would likely need to either swipe or re-code interface drivers though, audio interface meh its probably in the kernel already.

I dont have the interest in modding my mpc with a custom linux build.

I am a rather fickle hacker, i love to hit a scene when it's hot and nobody has done much yet. Once i start getting attention or other people take interest in the hackery i just move on. Been coding random projects and learning new things. MPC is a neat device but i am kinda outta the scene now. Just here as a visitor now.
