The demo sample used is horrible but chosen to hopefully make the demo clearer!

Hey Foge...... I have one question...... How did you do it? That's soooooooo Hot !!!!!

sysex data.

see the long sysex thread it took a fair while to get everything working, with a decent u.i.
gonna make it better than this, this is in early stages.

OK Im awake now!
I got a few questions
1 what is the make and model of that touch screen you have ?
2 how is the screen conected to the 4k?
3 how did you get that screen layout ? Is is somekind of a MAC verion of akaisys?
4 If you could run down a brief layout of what it took to get this up and runnng short of the work you put in with the sysexe commands

good job on this

1) elo but could be any. Works just like a mouse.
2) touchscreen is connected to a macbook, macbook to mpc via midi
3) logic environment, could have used max/msp or anything that sends sysex, I used logic cause its what I run anyway so I can jump between normal logic duties and this.
4) really easy to get up and running buy touchscreen, connect to macbook via usb, connect logic pro to mpc via any midi interface, should have thought of this 6 months ago!

I only used a touch screen because try as I could I could find a midi controller that had the sysex spec I was after I couldn't, I have alot of that template on my edirol keyboard but its hard to implement the pad selection functions without a controller with lots of buttons.

Awesome...

Touch screen controlled Logic environment for the mpc 4000.

Good work.

the big thing for me is on an older sampler i used to own, i didn't need to navigate a screen to change things there were dedicated buttons for release, attack, sample start etc I simply used MY EARS to hear the difference and choose what i want.

I have always found it hugely cumbersome not to have direct access to these functions, and I have moaned about it here before.

I really don't understand why if i hit a pad the whole samplers surface doesn't light up with controls to change that pads parameters.

THis is the closest I have got to that.

GREAT!!!!

very cool.
i bet everyone with a 4k will be bidding on touchscreens on ebay now!
thanks for sharing!

Another video that shows a bit more of the u.i. ideas I have been trying out today.

I really believe that the sysex side of the 4k is so comprehensive that I think it is going to allow for some amazing things to be done to change the U.I.

I have a bunch of ideas I really want to get to work that I think is gonna really expand how I use the mpc4k. I really wish I didn't have work on for the next three days!

Hopefully this is just the beginning.
