My main button failed soon after I go the Mpc one . Akai did f..k all . So I opened it up, traced everything out, and found an open circuit between the main button and the chip it was supposed to be connected to , eventually found the solder pad had lifted off the circuit board on one of the button terminals after numerous failed attempts to repair I did manage to solder a connection and glue the terminal to the board. Still ok.
You can see when a button is pressed the terminals moving away from the board.
Very very shoddy pcb construction .

I've had my MPC One since launch and use it practically daily. Zero issues with any of the buttons. Just wanted to throw that in there...
