heads up fellow MPC'ers, a new OS is here with brand spanking new (drumroll) fixes ..yhay ... well Martin it was nice to feel like a god for few weeks but our time has come to sink down to a mere mortal level again...
Release date: May17, 2001
The main purpose of
this update is to correct some minor bugs in the operating system.
[Corrections]
1. Zip disk data corruption - fixed
On MPC2000XL's with an ATAPI Zip disk installed internally, the data on the Zip disk may be
occasionally damaged. This may happen when the drive is in sleep mode and and does not cor-rectly
wake up when a disk operation (save or load), or a disk write operation (save, rename, over-write,
erase, etc.) is performed.
The wait time for the restart of the Zip disk in V1.12 OS is set to 3 sec. However the Zip disk may not
restart within this time period, causing a timeout. In this case the next write operation may damage
the contents of the disk. In V1.14, the wait time has been extended from 3 sec to 20 sec.
2. Song conversion problem - fixed
A Song may not be properly converted to a sequence if one of the sequences in the song has a large
number of events (over 768 notes) and is repeated more than twice in the song.
3. Song conversion problem - fixed
A song may not be properly converted to a sequence if the sequence contains MIDI system exclu-sive
messages and the track containing those messages is set to OFF, and the option of "OFF
TRACKS IGNORED" or "MERGED ON MIDI CH" is selected in the song convert options.
4. MTC Slave problem - fixed
In MTC slave mode a song may play at an unstable tempo at the point where a sequence changes to
the next sequence if the song contains several sequences with different tempos.
5. Edit range problem - fixed
In EDIT mode, the time range cannot be set correctly after pressing TC (F1) in STEP EDIT mode.
