Hey yall.
I am facing a terrible bug right now that is absolutely stopping my workflow. In trim mode I will cut a sample down, go back to the main screen and press the sample and often it will either not play, because the trim has been changed by some other force, or the start and end points will have changed. Often it will say that the start point is -31,000 for example...I have no idea what that even means, but I know it's not normal. Also, I will fix all the start and end points ion trim and save, and when I load the project again, many of the same samples that were changed will be messed up again. I don';t know why this is happening, but it is reeeeeeeeeallllly enfuriating. I have stopped making beats until someone can clarify what this might mean. Spoke with akai forever and they were baffled. Does anyone have any idea how I can remedy this terrible situation?
Regards,
Boom Baptist

I feel your pain slim. I know it must be extremely frustrating to spend all that time putting together that masterpiece, just to see it fade into thin air.

Hopefully, Akai will send that much needed update to cure some of those ills the 5k is having at the moment.
