It doesn't crash every time I do those things of course, but often enough for it to be a pain in the neck. I really need for my sequencer to be able to handle sysex data; it's the only way I can save multis on the Virus. I've taken to using a QY700 for this task, but that requires recabling my MIDI stuff.
Honestly, there is no bright side to bugs that crash the machine. It's not really possible to whistle it off and write a tune or something: I'm in the middle of a recording session when it happens. It stinks and I wish that Akai would fix these bugs, which I don't think would be very difficult for them.
I know lots of folks don't run into this, but I don't think I'm doing unreasonable things with the machine, just stressing it hard like all gear gets stressed in a pro setting.

oh word.. that sucks. i just keep to the basics with my mpc and have it synced to nuendo so anything more extensive than midi notation involving my virus i do within nuendo and not the mpc ever since i noticed some lagtime in the mpc when i edit samples while a sequence is playing. i dont want to murder the little cpu in the damn thing. so i just use it for what it can do.
