Hi people hope all is fine..

Yesterday i got my MPC X and was amazed by the high quality hardware :worthy:

Main reason i finally bought it was the new features in 3,0 software. Q link combinations knobs for controlling all kinds of midi gear and the ability to use a internal ssd etc etc. It will be the big daddy in my electronic music setup rig.
So for 20 hours straight i was trying to activate this new amazing software but it just wasn't possible. I did exactly as i read to do and it's not really rocket sience.
I tried doing around 50 times mabey but only got error messeges and that white noise/sea wave sound. (Actually i think it's a white noise osc with it's amp/volume controlled by a slow sine wave.
Anyway..today i wrote to support only to be told there is no support for 3.4 as it's beta.
Is there anyone here Actually successfully activated it?
I installed and downgraded so many times i lost count. I got different types of messeges when trying to use the many serials i got because everytime "You have already registered this serial code. Please check your product registrations"
So i downgraded again and again causing me getting MANY Mpc3 betas in my list of registered products at inmusic profile. Is there a way to remive them?
It feels like i tried everything at this point.

"To enable audio, log into to your inMUSIC Profile and actyour beta license. If you do not have a licence, please contact Akai Professional. "
Well yeah i did and they ssid there is no support for beta software.
And how do i know if I have a beta license?
Is that all the MOC Beta registered products with the all the different series?
I used MPCs since the MPC 2000XL was born and i say this is a mess. Why in hell having to activate a software that is free used in a machine you bought?
Anyway. I have no problem installing using my laptop and usb SATA adapter cable. Formatting in exFAT three SSD different drives but mpc recognise none of them :(
It do recognise sd cards so i ordered a very expensive 1TB card.
I have like 20 MPC Betas on my registered products because i tried so many times. Using the serials off course but t never works.
Have anyone here successfully activated this new software and how did you do it???

Besides this it's a very easy machine to manoeuvre on but can't understand why they used this super complicated activation system!?

Can anyone pease help me i tried everything there is to try!

Also I'm trying to upload a pic in my post but only get those twi image brackets. So I guess the puc should be in the middle of those two but i mean hoow?

To enable audio login to your inMUSIC profile and activate your beta license "
How do I do that?
And as i have around 20 of MPC Beta in my list of registered products, plus the X itself of course. Can they be removed?

What should i do at this point. I almost worked with this for 24 hours straight an :popcorn: d archived nothing
:WTF:
I appreciate any help and tips i can possibly get..
Peace

No i didn’t think i could. I will keep on this mission tomorrow morning as soon i wake up. My brain is all mushy after reading & writing serie codes for 20 hours. Omg cant we do better then that in 2024? Doing it over and over again is like torture :roll:
I will look that up tomorrow.
Also is there a way to remove all these mpc 3 siftware in my list for products? I mean apparently you can only use them once, same with the serie number. I know i will make great music with this but the activation routine is so stuoid i almoust felt like going at it with a hammer or something last night

If anyone got 3.4 up and running please tell me hiw you did with the activation thing :hmmm:
Installing the ssd i got for it comes second. I need the 3.4 software to be able to use it like i want to.
Thanks for replying :nod:

The solution is to log into your account on your MPC, this will sync the activation from your web account. Remember this is a beta so it's not working perfectly, and the activation is only for the beta period, there's no activation needed when it's officially released.

Just ignore those additional activations in your account, I don't think it matters and there's nothing you can do about it.

But again, 3.4 is a preview beta, so be very weary about going all in with it ATM, it's buggy and missing features, and stuff can potentially even be removed.

MPC 3 is a public beta version, which means there is no stable version.
So there are still bugs in it, and you will have to wait for the RC version of this new firmware.

NONE. None are stable. Because it is an active beta. And to add to that, you would be ill-advised to use the MPC 3 public beta for any production work at all, as beta projects are not guaranteed to be able to be opened in future betas or the eventual stable release.
