It found the MPD no problem, and updated the Firmware with no changing of settings using Uniquest from eth CD I got with the MPD. The only thing I changed was the #of buffer for midi in = 0. hth, Simon I was having MAJOR stress trying to sort this on my Vista machine… it would not recognise the MPD, so i could not use the Uniquest app. Soln = try an XP machine!

Still trying to get the 'new feature' in 1.09 of having the <> stop play rec (MMC) buttons to function as CC controls in Cubase... Making these run as MMC was a stupid idea for Akai, as this is old news in the world of many DAW systems... I'm going to now look for Cubase files that will allow proper working of these controls... Anyone know if they are out there? Well… i got mine upgraded easily through Vyzex, from 1.07 > 1.09…
no problems…
