is anybody having audio drop outs on 2.15.1 controller mode?

controller mode seems to be dead. im lucky if i get sound for a couple of seconds before it drops out (pad triggers/sequence play)

when i get into sample edit, theres audio... Just not in Main mode or program edit.

I am experiencing disconnections from my MPC One+ in controller mode... it disconnects for 5 seconds, then reconnects. This happens every 15 seconds... Started with 2.15.1 and before that I already had the feeling I had more cpu load in not so busy projects, to the point were I was having short audio crackling.

I'm on a 2023 MacBook Pro M3 Pro with macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, so computing power should not be the issue here. Didn't have those issues with 2.15.0...

try a different usb cable, that one might be messed up. worth a try first.

It's always helpful to name the operating system and hardware you're using. I'm on 14.6 Sonoma Mac Studio M2, and no issues in standalone, as a VST I can get some crashes in Digital Performer and high CPU in other DAWs, but not dropouts.

Standalone works fine

Real strange that i can trigger audio from sample edit screen but not the main or program edit.

M1 pro Monterey
Model 12

Same thing occurs when i use the mpc studio black and x so its definitely not hardware

If the OS is the only factor that changed before the problem, safe to say there's something related to the update.

If it were me, I would download the installer, disconnect my MPC, and reinstall everything — including the driver — with the 2.15.1 installer. Restart then reconnect and see how that works. Or maybe go as far as to uninstall everything first, then do a reinstall.

Over the years I've had issues with controller mode that were resolved by reinstalling the driver.

UPDATE: A Security update for MAC OS Monteray fixed everything.


Thanks for the replies, fellas.
