Hi,

Aside from the mixer what can I map to an external controller?

The feature charts and menus don't make a lot of sense to me.I'm trying to decide between the 2500 and 1000 and whether or not to get the xlcd.

If I can map functions to MIDI controllers ala q-link it makes the 1000 more appealing.

cheers

Allan

you can control the MPC buttons and modes via external midi. that's the greatest function ever for me. it's pretty much 100% in os2xl, and maybe 90, 95% in os128xl (i'll continue to make noise about it - it should be completely indistinguishable from controlling natively using the buttons/data wheel). this is security against failing hardware and also potentially allows you to record the process of making your songs - every button press.

I did notice that the lpf cutoff can't be controlled from an external controller but can in os2xl.... that's a big plus for os2xl.. Do you know if there are plans to add it to the 128xl feature list?
