Wow, I cannot believe that! That is super basic! Geez.
Thanks for responding. I really am surprised.

Iād err on the side of Hanlonās razor for that one.
3.x brought a lot of new stuff and theyāre fixing stuff as they go, all the while probably working on new features in parallel for 3.5 and beyond (e.g. MIDI clips and/or clip matrix would be very welcome, as already discussed).
Iām 100% with @papertiger on this one.
Foundational aspects of any OS (i.e. basic MIDI spec, discrepancies in the GUI, functions directly related to the hardware, longstanding bugs, etc.) should always take precedence over new features.
Cheers!

Iām not talking so much about the content of his post, more about the attitude thatās being conveyedā¦
The issue being discussed is not really a bug that is breaking stuff or prevents anyone from working.
Itās just an inconvenience, which of course should be fixed.
Also, whatās āsuper basicā very much depends on the user and their workflow. For instance, I never needed to āadd an effect to the input bus on the Sampler pageā.
If it makes you feel better, thatās how it is on the Force. Donāt know why & yes, we complained about it too & now unfortunately you MPC dudes gotta deal with that crap.
Itās has to be something about adding Qlinks in the sample page that caused problems for that inconvenience to be carried over to MPC3. I donāt think Akai ever acknowledged this issue on the Force. Hopefully you guys can get them to add it, since yall are their favorite.

Thanks. What is so frustrating is that it worked fine on MPC OS 2, but then again, so did a lot of things. 
Disappointing to still encounter issues like this on the āreleaseā version.

This is very good news!
People moan so much but will say again that very few companies are supporting hardware for free as well as Akai. Theyāre close to a gold standard.
Very excited to see what the new Desktop software brings and how much of a change it is.

I never got any email, yet Iām signed up for Akaiās newsletters and updates. Can one of you that got this alleged email post a screen shot?
Me neither unless going out in batches.
Cool news though!
I mean itās 100% fake news until someone posts a screenshot or some sort of concrete proof, IMHO. 
Thanks, was out of the house for a bit so couldnāt screenshot 
I nicked that from elsewhere as not got the email yet
