Does anybody else feel strongly about this?
It bugs me every time I use GRID in DRUM mode (every time I use my mpc basically).

Tee - you need to learn to solder thats all.

I am not fussed which way is up in grid mode.

Round robin can be done with cycle play cant it?

Here is the what I want to see in next update. Nym, are you listening :fku: :shock: :wink: INVERT PHASE. like before next year maybe please. please pretty please.

next is the BANK SELECT by foot switch needs to cycle. God its like its so broken as it is. So seems a simple thing, but yeah nothing is simple in programming i know. I do know that. so in case no one knows what i mean, you can assign footswitch to select a bank A B C or D. so then after tap footswitch becomes dead and useless, as its function has been done. So makes so much more sense if it went back to original bank on second footswitch hit, and have option to cycle the bank select from A to D then back again to A, so it cycles. both options would be good but cycle seems the most obvious and useful, and simple to me. This way after you switch banks hands free you can use same footswitch to go back or to go to next bank. you know you want it people ?
O yeah and save the chord assigns to disk, not ROM. so I can save chords for each song and not have to redo them again. And the assignment of chords to pad will be loaded with project. I can wait on this feature but you know it makes sense.

Ok I really do not want to wait to much longer on invert phase, footswitch seems easy, so expect it say next tuesday if thats good for everyone? no? chord bank I can wait longer.

I mean I am waiting and am so over it but its all good. Good things come to those that complain, no wait thats meant to be wait isnt it.

rant over

What i'd like to have is to be able to set different midi note (out) for the same pad on

different midi tracks. Currently if you have track one of a sequence, Pad 1

defaults to C1. If you change that say to C3, it changes on track 2 as well and so on.

Track 2 could control a sampler or a synth and i dont want pad 1 note value to

change there as well. It would change the note even on an instrument track if you

have one on that sequence and you don't want that obviously

Am i missing something or this cannot be done yet in JJOS?

It can be done with sets. but you have to switch sets and make one note patterns that are that midi note you want.
Its good, as it is, if you have a midi controller keyboard or synth plugged in, as it means if you change tracks it does not remap the controller being used, which kinda makes controller harder to use, and its usually easier to switch octaves via controller instead as commonly done. If anything it means that it would be worth considering requesting that the SETS actually set MIDI note to pad and then you can just change sets and not have to make one note midi patterns that are assigned to the pad. So it can be done with sets .

i'm using 1.10 xl lcd with the new big screen. my gripe with this version is that jj removed aftertouch. it's a feature that has endured many updates, but was removed in the new os. i feel that it was a cornerstone of the jj operating system, and should be restored at the expense of another feature. it's allows one to fluidly use their samples. and without it, i feel like i'm suddenly using a more restrictive, older version of jjos.

wow, is this true?! no aftertouch in the new OS?! :shock:

JJ definitely needs to bring that back, then!

if i saw dirtybird's last facebook video correctly, he was rocking some aftertouch like a pro in 128xl. i could be wrong, and upon checking the comparison chart it looks like i was wrong.

i'll see what i can do. i agree that it is important. best case scenario, it's being improved so that it can send any internal control AND outgoing midi cc or something. who knows.

DB, what were you doing in that video? controlling external synths with your pads and channel pressure?

I'd like to see a function in audio tracks to select a chop.
I tried to do it and it doesn't appear to be there.

I use audio tracks to record externally sequenced instruments then record long samples. Dividing them into chops then havin one audio track in each sequence copy and just changing the chop number to try different sections. More flexible and using less memory than chopping the samples up. Seems like it would be simple to implement, but what do I know.

hey elmacaco, audio tracks are not really for NDC. You want to just stay in drum mode on a track instead of audio for NDC so this way you can put down your tracks with your own chops of your own loops to make your own song :)
Also if the amount of time is the same chopped or not chopped it will be same amount of memory. You are getting there. just try to use NDC and make a program of that NDC, and then bang out your chops of your new NDC program of that track sample you imported. makes sense? so yeah bang on
By elmacaco Mon Oct 29, 2012 3:09 pm
Hey blip rock. I know you're trying to help, I did the same for years on this forum (search my username) but I know about Ndc and how to use it. I used to use it on an Asr 10 before the mpc ever had it. It's just that I don't see why if a sample has Ndc sections defined, why one couldn't select from them in an audio track.
It's not the same memory if you are using the same part of a sample in multiple chops. I bought of this because I ran out of same memory when his audio tracks and being able to use the Ndc chops in audio tracks would have solved the issue and opened up more possibilities.

If added to audio tracks in the form of a field like in trim Ndc chop on and a hop number field, I can take a 64 bar audio file and Ndc it to multi bar chunks all still in he same audio file, and scroll through them. No need to keep separate files or rename them and keep track. The functionality is already there, it just needs to be accessible through audio tracks and it will open up more useful ways of using the mpc.

i would be all over audio track block chopping. the request fits perfectly into my new method of stretching dense samples that can't be chopped in REAPER and dropping them into audio tracks. chopping by block is basically what i would do in REAPER, but it is less convenient to constantly resample an audio track as opposed to doing it in JJOS
