Is there a way to use the slider ifor the start and end values for faster trimming ? On a mpc2000xl You could use the slider pressing shift . The distance of the fader was equal to the lenght of the sample. It worked so much faster then using the jog dial.

agreed !!! this got used quite exstensifly in my 2000XL days and its a very "hands on" way of chopping and lightning fast! Sean brother your on in this right :) .. this has been on my wishlist for a while, it be luvly if we could use the knobs to set up loopoints aswell 8)

I'm up for this feature too! It would save the jog wheel for an untimely demise.

I second and third and fourth that... when we gonna see the next update sean....

by the way on the 4000 if you press shift you can highlight if you want to shift the trim in 10's 100's or 1000's. you probably know this but it's quite handy.......
