NEW Beta 1.51w':!:'

http://www.akaipro.com/int/download/mpc4k_beta.html

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_
This version fixes

* the slow behavior in PROGRAM mode
* cursor returns to previous position after direct access to the TC Window
In addition
* TC Window is now prohibited if another window is already open
* Sequence save is now prohibited during sequence playback (this could create invalid midi files)
* Write Memory to CD is now prohibited during sequence playback, and all functions are disabled during Writing to CD.

It is adivsed that everyone running beta operating systems(15.1v/t) upgrade asap.

Nice!

Peace.


sup shadow,


It would of been "reset Qlink controllers on seq change" in the misc menu causing the timming issue between seqs,if ya just set it to "off" you dont get any timming issues on 1.51,but this has been fixed in the new beta releases.


Respect for the knowledge, good looking out. Made sure that's been turned off still.

Peace.

np shadow^.

Btw=

Imo the new beta (1.51w) is running smooth,as far i can tell after a using it for a day, all issues from 1.51v (slow program mode etc) have been fixed,

its all good apart from this one thing......


When using the "clip board" and "phase lib" with the paste mode set to "replace" and paste event set to "all",

when u paste the data it pastes it all as expected but it erases all other tracks within that sequence at the same paste point,

By erases i mean it only deletes all types of data within the cursor selection of the copied the data to the clip board or phase lib and at the same paste point.

this doesn't happen as long as u don't set it to the above combination.

apart from that its all good,no doubt it will be fixed soon.

lut soulman,

1.the only new thing that has been implemented with regards the TC window is
that if u hold down the TC key for about 2 seconds the TC window will pop up in the =song,main,seq edit,step edit and misc pages.

2.shift timming and amount are already implemented if thats what you mean?
