So I apparently need to take those steps to update. It might have had something to do with yesterday traffic surge and the whole Akai site going down, but I’m pretty sure that wasn’t there yesterday. I’ll be back home on sunday, hopefully it’s still there then.
Yes, this days many companies sell half backed products hw/sw, then correct bugs. The efforts in debugging is probably related to the sales.
I especially noticed it in many SW where a new version is put on the market and they probably use the money from the sales to debug and further develop few features.
This is very sad.
I think probably Microsoft initiated this trend many years ago, today is the standard.
I’m still waiting for a working aftertouch of the Launchpad Pro MK3, novation is working on it since 2/3 years, they say
Its bad tho. We did that at the company I was at. Release stuff that wasn’t quite done to meet a deadline. Knowing full well we’d be patching it weeks after. We even started werking on a patch to fix bugs before the release was even out sometimes. It kinda became expected by our users. I think it’s a pretty bad way to operate.
This seems fixed now. Just saved a loop to usb stick & it didn’t hang like in 2.10.
But still doing the thing where going to Looper page changes the octave setting/bank of pads so if you wanna hit them live during loop rec you need to set this again (only checked Keygroup program. Dunno if drum programs are the same).
Stage EP: much better qualty than standard “electrtic” EP.
Stage Piano: good piano sounds,much better than built in keygroup grand piano
Organ: sounds convincing: nice to have drawbars and different tonewheel models: very good hammond emu
Opx-4: first impression is that it sounds good; lots of options in FM-matrix and 32 mod-slots.
Upto noiw I’m happy with this paid extension: expands my studio brain that much more…
