Akai MPD24 OS 1.07 Update

8 February, 2007 - 20:05 — matt

Akai have released a new OS version 1.07 for their MPD24 MIDI pad controller. The OS update appears to address a few bugs and alters how some features behave:

New features/Changes:
1. When working with Uniquest in ECSM mode, sysex pressure from pad is sent when note-on is confirmed.
2. Improved handling of multiple simultaneous note-ons
3. Default PARAMETER_LCDCONTRAST set to 66
4. Improved fader and pot ballistics.

Bug fixes:
1. Fixed bug where aftertouch value of zero was not sent with Note-Off
2. Fixed bug where first message in pad toggle mode was not note-on under some circumstances

As with any firmware OS upgrade, be careful and follow Akai's upgrade instructions - it's software that you're loading into the actual MPD itself, so you don't want to stuff it up somehow!

You can get the MPD24 OS 1.07 update here

Thanks to Melek for letting me know about this.
