Not got time to watch the whole thing but some observations:

Qlink mapping - try the LEARN button, then you don't need to menu dive. You can assign your filter cutoff in 2 seconds flat.
MPC2 - Akai are not interested in anything relating to MPC2, the end, so don't waste your time with it.
MPC3 - it's a public beta, if you want to use it accept that you should ideally be reporting issues and feature suggestions
Bug reporting - Akai will probably not watch a 16 minute video without accompanying documentation.

Finally when reporting issues, try to be polite, it's very hard to watch a video where the customer is so agitated.

But ultimately, if you want things fixed, you need to at least report them directly to Akai. And they don't normally respond to reports - I don't don't agree with this (especially when you are actively asking for volunteer beta testers), but it is what it is.

Bummer.

I’d approach this two ways: a concise bug report, and maybe a discussion here as a disgruntled user.

But I also am not going to watch a long video about a problem I have no idea if it affects me. Surely it’s got to be faster to type a few paragraphs than record a video? Make your basic point in first few sentences, then elaborate.

Exactly.

thanks for your reply i did contact them and told them in plain text. I rather watch a video to see evidence.

At there end we are allowed to send them video's but i haven't sent one yet. a full text its worthless because they don't respond any way . its a waste of time. most likely ill have some friends to help me get inside the code and fix it this is a waste of time. but thank you

ps on top of it i found 78 bugs on both mpc and the beta ver should be fix within a week

i am expecting all short cut keys are assign differently and not sharing the same.

MPC beta (software) have different assign

as follow
MPC BETA 3.8.0
Marquee (M) Good
Pointer (O) Good
Pencil (P) Good
Erase (E) Good
Split (S) Good
Mute (Y) Good



MPC
Marquee (O)
Pointer (P) No Good
Pencil (P) No Good
Erase (E) Good
Split (S) Good
Mute (M) Good



Definitely not good
Both MPC/Beta

Loop enable /disable and Full Level share the same keyboard short cut "L"
Half level short cut "K" POPS UP Show bottom Panel "K"
Quarter Level short cut "J" POPS UP Project info "J"


Take a look.... and good luck with that...

I clearly have no clue what your referring too I know there bugs i get it but 78? Question how many beats have you made to find that many bugs? Its firmware and software there will always be bugs especially when you add more features.. you have to be young because on my mpc 3000 and mpc 2000 there were only 2 on each and the 3000 was third party which I never tried and won't. Bugs are part of it it doesn't stop from making music I rather learn the equipment and deal with it and when they update then smile.. I have been an IT/ Electrical Engineer for the last 22 years its part of life my friend i hope your pursuing a degree and career in IT.

> I rather watch a video to see evidence.

I think the problem is until your last post, nobody knew what the bugs were. Why would we watch a 16 minute video if we had no idea what it was about?

Anyhow, his final post seems to say the bugs are desktop keyboard shortcuts are not consistent from MPC2 to 3 beta. And on that bombshell, I’m out.

Let me get the door for you. I'm on my way out as well :lol:
