Post MPCX, MPC Live, and MPC 2.0 questions for NAMM 2017

Will Ren user be able to use the qlinks similar fashion, but not with the display?

Are they keeping the sampler and looper record mode?

Did they think about releasing the X as a new RenX for those that don't want standalone

1- Is hybrid 3 installed in The Live or X?
2- In audio editing, is there strip silence, audio fade in fade out, pan vol automation, audio track comping
3- can we now timestretch by bar, so if you have a sample that's 3.3 bars I can grab the end and stretch it to 4 bars like pro tools, reason, or Ableton
4- in addition can we change the pitch of the stretched sample in realtime.
5- can you change it so expansions and Akai plug ins don't install to the main drive, they take up a lot of space on SSDs.
6- any chance of audio to midi conversion
7- has qlink edit been enabled, if not not when?
8- Is xfade, crossfade sample in 2.0, it was last seen in the MPC 4000 and JJOS.

Will existing Touch owners need to get a firmware update, or can we use 2.0 straight off?

Thanks for the questions fam! Keep them coming, they will all be added to the list!

i think before knowing little features like how many filters... what fx.. etc... we need to know the real specs we always needed to know on every previous standalone mpc.

1. RAM. Sample time. How much... is it upgrade-able .. my guess is that the ram will be system ram and not dedicated to sample time like it used to back in the day.
2. polyphony, midi note events, etc.. any limitations we are used to seeing with hardware MPCs of the past?
3. latency, audio buffer / performance adjustments such as loweing PPQN in standalone mode.. what are we looking at here.. this software is a bit different from machines of the past.
4. sample rate possible? and if it happens to be something very high.. does the built in audio interface output at those rates.
5. tracks is i believe they said 128? or was that sequences? how many of each of those things.. programs/banks etc..


bonus 1. Chipset/CPU .. if this is some sort of android tablet type of thing ... linux based kernel and OS running on mobile components... would be nice to know even though they probably wont say.. we will find out later once it's in the people's hands.

bonus 2. I see it has CV/gate... does that mean a eurorack version of the timberwolf is in the pipeline?

It was all quite sensible until this question!

- AD/DA convertors on the MPCx are they 96k 24 bit?

- Sequencer per Track directions (Forward, Reverse, Random, Pendulum)?

-Probability Per Step?

-LFO and ENV assignable to CV Out?

- CV voltage? 5v or 10v?

-Warp Markers movable?

Thanks for the List!

Questions About the Browser Update &..:
1. Will we be able to browse by a tagging type system: Bass, Keys, Leads, etc..
2. Seeing as there is live time stretch/pitch shift, and clip launching... When previewing sounds (loops) in the browser, will they sync with the project tempo? (Ableton Live type browsing).
3. Portamento / Glide??
4. Side Chaining?

When will the 2.0 software be available for existing users, and will it be free for those who own the Studio Black.

NAMM is next week, so as usual, I'm taking questions from the forum to bring with me.

Post them here and I'll gather them in preparation for next week.

Both are looking dope, looking forward to get my hands on them.

peace!

I wanna know if they've implemented the Song record/ trigger modes I suggested. i.e. is the Clip Program Mode, the realization of being able to do this viewtopic.php?f=45&t=169650?

To Peteblues: This video is a good reference video for thinking on what R-Mix should/would actually do for the MPC.

A major part of this requested Song mode is its ability to actively record live performance. In the video above, we see the user triggering differing tracks and scenes to help us hear how his song should play out.

With R-Mix, the MPC would be recording everything he triggered, and every change he made during that video; turning it into a linear "Song track" which of course plays back exactly as heard.

This mode would also provide the ability to play in Riffs and Solo's to exclusive tracks which are also linear. This mode would add a Sequence/Track 'Retrigger' capability to the MPC which does not appear to exist currently.

Recording these motions as linear tracks, along with the ability to 'Stop' a Track by hitting the pad that started it once again, would create an amazing way to capture the intended 'feel' of a performance! On top of this, these tracks would remain editable, just as midi would.

This should be the Song mode that the MPC touts, this would make the system even more of a legend than it already is!

audio to midi conversion, true drag and drop midi to timeline , rewire

This may not have to wait till NAMM, but i'd like to know how well it'll integrate with the Akai Advance. More specifically, will I be able to run my VSTs through VIP like I do now, and record everything into the MPC-X? Forgive me if im not articulating this question very well, but the prospect of being able to use the keyboard damn near standalone with a standalone MPC excites me.

The biggest from me: Is plugin delay compensation fixed now?
E.g. some Slate Digital and UAD cause bad issues.

1. Can you render or bounce midi or audio to a track with effects?
2. Can all of the onscreen parameters be accessed from the unit without touching the screen?
3. Are the A.I.R plugins working on the standalone units?
4.Are new chords and progressions coming on 2.0?
5. Can USB midi keyboards work with the standalone units?
