# MPC standalone suggestions 2024
Akai hear me out...
My 2 cents collected over many jams...
1. Not being able to change/select effects when they are muted.
2. Changing effects place by pressing and swipe it up or down.
3. Name rename folders/ delete folders??? ( btw why are some icons in they keyboard greyed out?)
4. Better search system. For samples folder a bit like the everything app on Windows or mac's finder function.
5. Deleting a program should delete the sounds in that program, if as a drumprogram with samples loaded without having to use the purge function.
6. Button at programs section on the main Sequencer page to get into programs/plugin interface instead of going to menu and having to press the icon there to get into a vst program Juno etc...
7. When sending midi from one Track to another it should be able to record it.
8. Random should stay on the last thing you selected if melody melody or drum, drum random.
More, Functions in random if not melody maybe a bass section Euclidean sequencer modes...
9. Audition key group with keyboard in browser...
10. Keyboard control mode
as on the MPC KEY 61
11. Random note length in randomizer
12. Being able to save tracks to import in other projects automatically synced to Bpm with pattern settings etc.
13. Copy bars in step sequencer
Step sequencer should have an option to choose the length of it as how on track you can choose ho many beats the length of that track is.
Also modulations in step sequencer control changes should be able of having their own lengths. Random function in step sequencer mode...
14. Velocity should be able to trigger full adsr in porta mod section
15. LFO in sample should have some delay so you can shift the wave… left or right
16. Assign page needs an option to create programs
17. Scale and octave
the pad perform doesn't show octave next to root note as before
you don't know if you press octave if it's 0 or +1 or -1
18. S-900 or 950 emulation
19. ARP should be assignable per track and should be able to be exported to a tracks Piano roll… having a ...bars length.
20. Arp random button based on midi pattern. ( If you already have a pattern with some random button turn it into an arp?
19. Some function to be able to write preset names assigned to a track for example if you need to remember an external synths preset name. Being able to save tracks and being able to load em... select em out of a map with a drop down function. Now my track names are saved per project. So I have to make a template with the track names... that's messed up.
20. Keyboard control feature!!! You cannot use the 1 note chord function with an external keyboard only with the pads.
21.Pitch quantize needs apply button/function.
22. being able to save midi programs
23.Dry wet for each FX
25.Midi learn On/off for inserts
26.Spectrum analyzer, Master bus fx?
27.Saving presets for connected controllers example Akai midiman. (better integration with other akai products I can see that Akai Fruityloops controller being super handy for the stepsequencer.)
It's pretty buggy when learn function is on it sometimes it changes settings to something else... Then you have to redo everything. And why do you have to turn it on every time in the menu?
28. Not being able to direct presets folder to plugins...
I save my presets in a folder on my hd...
I always can only load one preset instead of having that folder in the preset menu of the plugin...
That's messed up. (Why on an external hd just for easy backing up)
29.There's a bug that sometimes I cannot erase notes unless I just erase the whole track...
Etc...
