Since the upgrade to 2.11.9. my incoming MIDI (Port: MPC 1) is no longer forwarded to the MIDI OUT port (MPC A or MPC B).

The project was working up to 2.11.8 without any problems:
There is a Midi Program on a track, it's input is set to "MPC 1", it's output set to "MPC A" and mode is "merge".

The strange thing is, that now only once in a while the incoming Midi (= specific note-ons for triggering MPC plus external hardware at the same time) go through. I can monitor this also on the Midi monitor of the MPC: the notes coming in correctly but were very rarely send out.

Any solution?

AND: Can anybody please tell me where to find the firmware 2.11.8 image file to downgrade?

Thank you!

...just upgraded to 2.11.10 and nothing changed. "MIDI THRU" is only working for the first few notes. Then it stops.

PLEASE HELP ME finding a firmware-image-file 2.11.7 or 2.11.8 to downgrade.

Did you try to reset the preferences and reenter them again?

PROBLEMS SOLVED!

1) I've downgraded to 2.11.8 and everything works fine again! It is likely a bug introduced in firmware 2.11.9 and still in 2.11.10.

2) on the product page of MPC LIVE II there is only 2.11.9. and 2.11.10 available for download. But on the product page of MPC ONE there are a lot more earlier firmware versions!

Thanks for your help and hopefully AKAI will repair this issue in upcoming versions.
