Maybe not a bug, maybe just a really weird missing feature that has never been implemented, but has anyone ever noticed that this is no dedicated 'pad tune' parameter in the UI, not in standalone nor in the MPC Software?

There's a 'pad pan' and 'pad level' in the global screen, but the only 'program edit' way to tune an entire pad is to tune each individual layer equally.

The only way to adjust this in the UI is to go to QLINK and set 'pad scene' and you can then adjust the 'TUNING' parameter for the current pad (-120 to +120) using a Qlink. This will tune an entire pad +/- one octave - this pad tuning will be stored in the XPM file.

Yep. PAD SCENE q-link is used alot in my methods of madness.

On MPC One there are 3 tracks. All of them receiving midi from a Digitone Keys connected via an USB-Hub (Overhub).
Track 1 receiving on channel 5 and sending it on channel 5 to a Hydrasynth.
Track 2 and 3 receiving on channel 7 and 8 and playing an individual instance of the Hype plugin.

The thing is, track 2 is only playing the Hype as long there is no incoming midi on track one. The moment the MPC receiving midi on channel 5, the playing of track 2 stops.
In the midi monitor I can see that midi messages are still received on channel 5, 7 and 8, so I guess the problem lays within the MPC.

Any ideas?


After I did a downgrade to 2.10.1 everything is working as expected. All midi tracks now playing simultaniously. So for me 2.11.2 isn't usefull at all. Maybe 2.11.3 will be …

Hi, I have already solved bugs simply by doing a reset in the preferences menu after update :wink:

Legacy plugins like Hybrid, The 808, The Wub, The Noise & The Bank do not work anymore, probably an issue related to Apple Silicon

Hey Paddle, I also made a mistake by upgrading to 2.11.2 .. if I roll back to 2.10, In controller mode , will it load project was created in 2.11 w/o any problem? I'm little scared to go back lol

I don't know but if it doesn't work to 2.10 you can return to 2.11 :)

I only started one new project after the upgrade and didn't open any old ones at all. After going back to 2.10 that project is still working fine and almost finished now.

Not sure it was mentioned, but only issue I’m noticing. Is loading a saved project with new plugins after powering on in standalone. The project loads with those plugins missing and removed from tracks. Once, you activate in preferences. You have to reload the project. Maybe Akai needs to add activation to upper part of opening screen in standalone. Too activate and then open project. Or Initiate Wi-Fi during boot verses after the project is open.

MPCX froze tonight after saving my project to SD while still playing my track.
I know I’m pushing my luck here, but I honestly thought it was an ok idea to do - apparently not, as I lost everything upon forced reboot..

When will I ever learn - apparently not today!

Saving while sequencer is playing has not caused a crash for me on mpc x 2.10 and 2.11.
If it did happen it was supe pr rare cause I don’t remember that happening.

Humanize Velocity isn't working.

Also still having pops and glitches when using an external interface.
