sometimes, when i go from song into sequence page and it says that im in seq X, when i do something on that main page, the sequence changes into seq y..
Same when i go into song page (tho this is not only a few times, but all the f*cking time), it says that im on sequence X and when i turn the wheel, im on another seq. not that im on another seq by turning the wheel, the cursor just jumps to another seq and then i have to turn the jogger one more time to actually go to another seq.. a bit strange :roll:

does someone have the same troubles with OS 1.71 ? Its very annoying as i sometimes changes something i dont want to be changed.

Damn! You guys are right. The same thing is happening here as well.

Is Akai aware of this bug :?:

This is really an annoying bug that can have you mess up your sequences real quick. So I went back to OS 1.7 :!: I hope Akai get this fixed soon.

Whatever happened to that major update with the "remix" feature anyhow? Is it still planned or what?

I'm glad I came in here and saw that cats are havin' probs(not that I'm glad ya'll are havin' them, but glad I checked first).
I was just about ask if anybody in here loaded and had any probs with 1.71.

Yesterday my mpc 'stopped' while I was browsing through the sounds, just like Ikke described. I'm *definitely* going back to v1.70.

They did fine, but when Numark took over they let a lot of people go, and changed procedures. This v1.71 was not beta tested (that is, I wasn't asked, and I guess the other beta testers weren't either), and I think that's why this version is so shaky.

This morning I sent an email to the R&D Operations Director of AkaiPro, reporting about v1.71, and asked him where I can do my reports now. Let's see if that helped.
