near the same problem here, the K4 goes insane, and the K8 no respond at all.\r\nStranger thing is that sometimes they work again. And the disfunctionnal knob are not always the same.

It’s a shame really. I took the unit back and got a new audio interface in exchange. (Got a Presonus Firebox, which is an excellent little unit to replace my old Aardvark)\r\n\r\nNot sure what I want to get now for faders and knobs. Maybe a Faderfox, M-Audio Axiom 25, or even perhaps a CME Bitstream 3x.

Yeah, my MPD24’s been very disappointing and the latest firmware hosed my box, now it doesn’t work at all. According to a commenter this happened to 7 other units as well:\r\nhttp://jordanbalagot.com/blog/2007/03/31/im-a-sucker-for-hype-the-mpd24-sucks-so-far/\r\nAkai says “Unfortunately it sounds like this will need to be serviced.”

K5 is totally screwed - it keeps changing parameters constantly.
