A new update for AKAI MPC software has been released. The following improvements are added:

Ableton Live Set Export
You can now export the current MPC sequence as an Ableton Live Set (.ALS) file. To Ableton Live Set export window, click the menu icon (≡ ≡), go to File > Export and then click As Ableton Live Set….
Use the Export MIDI As settings to choose how MIDI tracks and clips are exported, either as Audio files or MIDI files. When using Plugin, Drum or Keygroup programs, you can render clips as Audio to preserve
the sound of the instruments, or render clips as MIDI data.
Check the Include Track Volume/Pan Settings box to include these settings in the export.
Check the Bypass Track Effects Plugins box to not include track effects plugins in the export.
Use the Audio Tail field to set the amount, in seconds, of extra time added to the end of the resulting audio files.
Use the Bit Depth field to set the bit depth to 8, 16 or 24.
Use the Sample Rate field to set the sample rate to 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz. In most cases, we recommend selecting 44.1 kHz.
Click Export to enter the Save screen where you can select a name and location to save your export.
Click Close to cancel and return to the previous screen.

Erase Parameters
From the Erase window, you can now erase selected automation parameters.
1. While the sequence is stopped, click the menu icon (≡ ≡)
and go to Edit > Sequence and click Erase. Alternatively, right-click the Sequence field in the
Inspector and click Erase.
2. Click Automation to select it.
3. By default, the Parameter field is set to All. Click this
field to display a list of all parameters that have been
automated on the current track.
4. Select the parameter you would like to erase, and then
click Do It to erase the automation.

Workflow Enhancements
In the Edit > Sequence > Copy Sequence and Copy Track windows, you can now rename the destination
sequence or track.
The Keep or Discard window in Sample Record Mode and the Export Loop as Sample window in Looper Mode now have easy-access buttons to Save or Edit the recorded sample or loop.
You can now apply the Timing Correct options to all tracks at the same time by clicking the All Tracks button in theTiming Correct window.
You can now sort FX by Type to quickly access plugins by the following categories: Delay/Reverb, Dynamics, EQ/Filter, Harmonic, Modulation and Vintage Effects.
You can now copy events from individual or multiple pads or notes from the Edit > Sequence > Copy Events

Nice update. MPC Live user here.

 

MPC 2.7 out now.

besides not understanding what akai is doing with this ableton obsession..

i cant get why they are investing in making a standalone machine to become the controller of another company software when the people who bought the machines thought they already had the belonging desktop software

the natural thing would be imp to develop that software further and/or fix at least the top ten requests from your customers instead of practically forcing people into another daw adding splice, ableton etc

i know akai can work on multiple tasks but this is so backwards in priorities ignoring the original reason why people got these machines to start with, i must agree its becoming confusing and a bit annoying
