Akai XR10 - Looking for OS upgrade
« on: August 08, 2014, 12:26:55 PM »

First post!

I'm also just dipping my toe into the world of circuit bending, so be gentle.

I was given an allegedly broken Akai XR-10 a few weeks ago. I've managed to get it working and have been playing with it quite a bit. The whole Variation & Fill A/B/C concept really is fun to play and I've gotten really excited with the possibilities for live application.

Anticipating some cool results from an improvised jam, I connected it to my set-up and pressed play on my sequencer. Nothing happened. The XR10 did not start along with the rest of my midi gear. After numerous tests and an extensive internet search, I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't output or accept midi clock in pattern mode, only in song mode.  >:( Why, Akai??!  Why??!

It is rumoured that Akai issued an updated OS that corrected the problem.  My unit is currently running V2.2.  Is anyone out there running a later version?
