2 questions about the MPC Software !

Hello,I'm a DJ/Producer who uses Fruity Loops for the moment.
But I seriously looking foward to the release of the MPC Ren and its software.
But 2 questions come to mind and that will help me a little bit decide if I should buy it or not.

1st : I know the software will work as a standalone or as a vst plugin.So that means I can use it inside my favourite DAW (FL Studio for me).But does that include that I can make each track of the MPC software to correspond with each track of my FL Studio Mixer?For example,one of my track is a kick drum inside the MPC software (let's say Track 1),can I directly make it an insert track in the FL Mixer (example Insert 1).I guess it is possible but I wasn't 100% sure so I need your agreement on that.

2nd : So that question is very important to me.It' about the Piano Roll of the MPC software.
In FL Studio,there is a plugin called "Fruity Slicer" that allows you to draw the chops of your sliced sample directly on the Piano Roll.But what's really cool about that is that even if you chopped,let's say beat by beat (1,2,3,4),you can play a chop untill the end of the loop you selected by clicking the "play to end" function.
Will that be possible on the MPC software Piano Roll?
Cuz sometimes I find grooves just by drawing the notes.And with that MPC,I will be able to find grooves by hitting the pads,or by drawing in the Piano Roll.

I already hearing you sayin' what does he need that MPC?He just has to use his FL ! Well I'm really interested by the MPC-R because of that swing it has,the vintage mode,the fact that you can sample directly through it from a analog turntable such as a Technics 1200,the chopping mode etc...But I still want that "FL Studio kind of workflow" with the MPC Software.

Thanks for sharing me some answers if you got time.

you can find these answers by searching youtube

Help is on the way!
Fanboy to the rescue!
Just joking.
Those are good "?s"
I think the answer to the first 1 is yes, they did mention that capability for Protools.
But for a more in depth, expert and "inside" dope, ya better wait for SUPER J

well the fruity slicer works the way the old dr rex player works (but they added a bit to it) .. im sure the guys at akai will remember to add the ability to import .rex files if they didn't already state that it will be capable of that. if not, you chop it manually and build the sections manually.

the vintage modes.. well we dont know how that sounds yet compared to other things available... but there are plenty of effect pluggins that give you vintage emulations or bit reductions to sound like old school 12 bit samplers. tone boosters makes an alright one.

recording from a turntable into the software... if you have an audio interface already... you can already do this. You can do it in fl studio, you can do it in audacity.. you can do it in almost any music program... so far it seems like that is your only draw towards the ren... when it comes to it's hardware. 1200 bucks is kind of expensive for a two channel interface if that is all you want it for.

the swing... in piano roll you can change the snap of the grid... you could turn it off or put it to 1/3... add notes in using that... you will get that swing.

i mean, there will be ways to achieve the sound you want in both... if you like the fl studio workflow... then use fl studio.. know what I mean? If you want to try a different approach then go down to the music shop and try messing with the ren a bit to see if you like how things are set up. My guess is, you might find it limiting compared to fl.. the goal of the two programs are both to make music but they are not on the same lane to get there. each one will have it's tricks.

Thanks for your time,I will really consider those answers.

The MPC Ren does have a piano roll. You can draw in notes, enter notes using the pads in realtime and also in the drum machine styled step sequencer.

Thanks,great !
To be more accurate,the 1st question is this : can I do what this guy does but with the MPC Software?

that is a good question... im guessing since it will be VST compatible that in vst mode they should have something like that...
