MPC 3.4 Beta 1 & 2 Bug Reports (Archived)

1/4" inputs stopped working on my MPC Live II after 3.4 update. RCA inputs still work, but not 1/4". Tried in audio track, looper, sampler, nothing. But if I replace the cable on the same source and plug into RCAs it works. Clips like crazy, since my source is not a turntable, but works.

YES !!!
For the life of me, I couldn't pinpoint what's wrong with it. Since 3.x, each time I used it, I had that feeling in the back of my head that something is wrong. I been constantly thrown off during recording just to eventually give up on it due to random reboots when assigning sample to an audio track

Cannot get the Qlinks to work on the FX set to preprocess the input when sampling.
Can use the touchscreen but not the Qlinks no matter which "mode" I try.

Downgraded back to 2.15, wifi works as expected. Upgraded to beta 3.4.0.80 both with USB drive and PC method, can no longer connect to wifi. Tried reseting preferences, did not resolve. Ethernet cable works as expected.

Same here. "Incorrect password for network" Tried disconnecting the wifi, forgetting the network and redoing it. Nothing. Also getting memory errors. MPC Live 2. Downgrading until the official release.

Locators jump to the start of the bar specified.
Ie if I set three locators at bars 4:1:0, 5:3:0 and 6:1:0, the first and third of these locators jump to their right place; start of bar 4 and start of bar 6. But the second locator doesn't jump to 5:3:0, but instead to the start of bar 5.
No matter what value I specify, a locator always jumps to the start of the bar in question. The beat and tick values specified doesn't matter.

Have you found a way to edit or move Locators after they are created? I can't figure it out for the life of me. Surely this couldn't have been missed. If there is no way then this would be a bug.

Double tap the time counter and select 'locators' - you can delete locators here and also add locators (and they're set correctly to the exact current cue point), the SHIFT shortcut option doesn't work correctly ATM, but clearly did at some point as it's shown in the original Akai demo vid.

Output routing does not change for all selected track in mixer view. [minor/annoying]

* Select mixer view (track or pad - doesn’t matter)
* Select multiple tracks or pads - mixer strip will be marked with grey rectangle.
* at this point you can change the volume of all selected tracks at once, same for panning tab and send tab. When you switch to I/O tab, the output routing changes only in track which was selected as first.

That is not a problem for me. I just change the value of the locator in the ”Locate”-window.
When I click on the bar value I can change this value up or down and if I instead click on the beat value I can also change this value which in turn carries over so that the bar value also changes once I raise the beat value above 4 or below 1.

Ahhh, thank you so much, this is not where I expected this to be, glad it's there, as it does make sense now.

I'm getting dropped notes when playing the Air Moog or Odyssey on the MPC Key 37. The patches worked fine in the 2x versions of the MPC OS.

Still experiencing intermittent distortion when using Expert Sleepers ES-9 (V 1.3.1) as an audio interface

It seems that the Key Ranges settings for plugins have disappeared as well. It is impossible to set a limited range of notes to play a sound on the MPC key.

Still there a 2nd page in your MENU from now on

Qlinks in GRID VIEW only partially populated. For example, no option to adjust swing. Was it always like this in MPC2?
