Does anyone any links or any additional information on how to obtain the older firmwares for the MPC Live or X? The issue is when I use these newer firmwares they do not allow me to trigger sounds while the track is muted. I use this machine for live gigs a lot so this is a function that is highly desired and needed for the type of music I do. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks guys unfortunately under the mpc live section the oldest firmware I see Akai has listed is 2.8 but I see they have 2.72 and 2.7 for the X we are gonna try to risk it for the biscuit and see if the Live takes the X firmware lol I mean to my knowledge they’re the same OS used on each machine unless there’s some minuscule details between the firmwares on each machine I’m unaware of.
