Midi or not, Lampdog is exactly right. If you have two sequencers side by side (hard or soft) and one is 96 ppqn and the other is 960 ppqn how are you going to here the difference? The LOWEST resolution on the 96 ppqn sequencer, which is one tick, is still within 2.5 milliseconds of ANY point in time. So, on the 960 ppqn sequencer you can move a sample 10 ticks and you NEVER hear a difference since those 10 ticks will only move a sample the SAME 2.5 msec. What is the purpose of having it tens times as accurate but not make a difference.
In other words, you have to move a sound 2 ticks in a 96 ppqn sequencer to hear the difference, 10 ticks minimum in a 480 ppqn seq to hear it, or 20 ticks in a 960 ppqn seq. So, Roopesh, you want to try to tell me there is something better about these higher resolutions. I feel really sorry for you if you cannot understand this simple concept after it being explained to you so many times (I guess it is sort of like learing how to move a sample 1 tick?).
Regardless Roopesh, this is an MPC forum. The MPC is a sampler and sequencer. You do nothing but ridicule the MPC sequencer and put off current and potential owners. You have said nothing that further helps MPC users or Akai in this thread. Actually you are doing the opposite. I for one, would like to see Akai sales go up. We are lucky the Akai is even still in business (oh the stories I wish I could tell). At one time there were a dozen sampler companies. They are almost all gone and it isn't because Akai put them out of business.
Does it matter if software or hardware is superior? Not really. I have confidence in my tools of the trade and I like to see others have confidence in the tools of their trade, expecially if they are using Akai gear. Let's say I dated Wonderwoman. I loved everything about her and I thought she was the best thing in my life. Would I want to hear everyone else tell me that she was not right for me? Would it help even if I listened? And if i listened, would it not do anything but plant seeds of doubt in my mind and always wondering if I was not missing out on some other woman to date? Was I wasting all these years only dating Wonderwoman? Was there a better woman? Would I now spend all my time wondering about the alternatives instead of enjoying my time with her? I would be better in ignorant bliss about these other women and just concentrate on her. I would even feel good when my REAL friends congratulate us on our wonderful relationship. Sure we might have troubles, but that is time when I go see my REAL friends on a bulletin board somewhere to get advice on how to properly handle her. I really do not need to hear how much better the other women are. The MPC is my Wonderwoman.
