What you mean change the sample program with mouse?

When you select your Program or Sample, it doesn't highlight or change the program, you have to do it through the hardware or drag the program slightly for it to change.

Also, how come there isn't a button to remove unused channels in Program Mix, similar to that of the Track Mixer??

Damn, didn't notice that. I haven't been on 1.3 much. Just tested out the new plugin feature.

I was wondering about the whole remove unused channels in Program Mix tho. I forgot to mention it. They do need to add that.

im surprised this doesn't work its some basic shit..

Yeaaa

My wish is simple: a 64bit VST plugin that actually works so that I can finally use the MPC I paid the best part of 800 quid for.

You needed a 64 bit app but you decided to purchase a 32 bit one that you couldn't use right away instead?

All the advertising said it was 64 bit friendly...found this place too late

I'm a patient man (within reason), I'd rather wait for a working MPC than return it for something like a maschine.

This topic can go both ways! On one hand, you have the specs on the website when the Ren was released not mentioning anything about 64-Bit. One could argue that you should have read the specs before you bought it.

On the other hand, you have the pre-release advertisements and interviews, where Dan explicitly said that it would be 64-Bit. With this information, in this day and age, one would naturally not think they need to recheck the specs to double check if what Dan said was actually the case. Especially when damn near every new audio product/software released in the last 2-3 years has been 64-bit. But the other side if this hand, Dan didn't exactly say it would be 64-Bit in 1.0. I guess people just assumed that, since he didn't specifically answer with "not in 1.0" like he did with Audio Tracks for example!

So...

Bring back Instant Track Mute. Shit Doesn't work in 1.3 anymore.

To add a bit of background, this Ren was purchased by my studio partner....unfortunately he tends to buy things on a whim without doing much research. I wouldn't have purchased the MPC without being sure that it does what I want it to do, I'm just trying to clear up the mess after he bought it.

Regardless of that, the advertising does say that it is 64 bit compatible (it even says it on the box!), no-one can argue that if something is advertised as being 64bit compatible then it should actually perform to some degree in a 64bit environment - which the current version doesn't. However I'm not here to moan about it cos I do want to keep the Ren. Pete Goodliffe says that 64 bit compatibility is 'definitely coming', it would be nice to have some idea of when though.

the box says a lot of things it can't do

The box is a helluva of drug.

Again, there's two sides to 64-Bit compatibility! On one hand you can have a 32-Bit app that is compatible with a 64-Bit OS; which is the case for the Ren. Then on the other hand you have an actual 64-Bit app.

So what the box means when it says "...Requires: Windows 7 (32-Bit or 64-Bit)..." is that you can use it on a 64-Bit operating system! Doesn't mention 64-Bit anywhere else or that the app is compatible with other 64-Bit apps!

we need we need we need the sample preview time to be full length of the sample. if y'all want to stop it half thru or when ever just double tap the stop button.

1. LAST UNSAVED SESSION - THE REN SHOULD HAVE A SAVED BACKUP SYSTEM THAT SAVES UP TO THE LAST MOVE THAT THE USER MADE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. AFTER A CRASH A SOFTWARE PROMPT SHOULD APPEAR ON SCREEN ALLOWING THE OPTION TO OPEN THE LAST UNSAVED SESSION. (ABLETON LIVE DOES THIS WELL).

2. UNDO/REDO Bug Fix (The undo button is unreliable it randomly erases multiple past moves at times.THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR WORKFLOW SPEED. Usually after the undo function has wiped out the data the REDO function is greyed out and not usable.

3. UNLIMITED UNDO - The user should be able to undo every previous move from the last time the session was opened.

4. 16 TUNINGS This function should be the default setting in the 16 Tunings section in 2013. The 16 Tunings section should have a pop up screen that allows you to adjust the root note/octave range of the sample. (This function would patch phrase the sample at the speed and length of the original sample so the user would not have to enter any tempo or bar length data).

5. 16 TUNINGS AS DEFAULT OPTION Give the user the option of which function can be the default (the first function we see) tunings instead of being set on velocity etc.

6. FILE BROWSER Default Option - File Browser folders should save their positions when a template is saved.

7. AUTO PREVIEW - Auto preview should be defaulted to the on position or give the user the option to set it as a default.

8. TRACK EXPLODE - Convert a track with multiple sounds on it to multiple unused tracks, this is for those of us who program with more than one sound (kick snare and hats etc.). all at once on the same track.

9. FREEZE TO A PAD FUNCTION - The recorded vsti audio on a track is exported and assigned to a pad with exact position and timing. The option to assign the audio to a new program or existing program appears for the users choice. This will save on processing power skip the re-sampling process for faster workflow.

10. VINTAGE MODE EFFECT OR BUSS - the vintage modes should also appear in the effects section to route individual sounds through the various vintage modes. This could also be an option on the track mixer to select which vintage mode the individual track will bus through (example, Track 1 Ring mode, Track 2 - MPC 60 mode, Track 3 MPC 3000 mode etc..

11. REAL-TIME TIME-STRETCH/PITCH-SHIFT FUNCTION - Real-Time time stretch/pitch shift option (see motu mach 5). Once audio tracks are implemented it would be great to have a melodyne type piano roll grid editor where you drag the sample up to take the sample up in pitch and down for lower pitch. The editor should also allow you to click and drag on the end of the sample to adjust its speed (drag left shorter time/drag right longer time). The samples should all adjust accordingly in speed when the tempo of the sequence is changed.

12. AUDIO TRACKS with great visual and audio tools for recording and editing.


13. TRACK MIXER CHANNELS ADJUSTABLE SIZE - the track width should be adjustable to fit more tracks in view (a minimum of 24 - 32 viewable tracks). (see Ableton Live, Nuendo, Cubase etc..)

14. ADJUSTABLE TRACK ORDER IN TRACK MIXER - adjustable order of the tracks so tracks can be organized to the users liking. example : drums 1-8 , loops 9-10, keys 11-14, samples 15-20 etc..

15. VISUAL TIME STRETCH - IMO Nuendo has the simplest way of time stretching with an on screen view of the sample that the user can click on select time stretch and drag the sample end to a longer or shorter position on a grid. This should be visible while playing the sequence versus typing in numbers speed and tempo.

16. MULTI-CORE CAPABILITIES - for better processing efficiency.

17. 64 BIT SYSTEM.

18. FX PLUG IN AUTOMATION

19. MIDI CONTROLLER TEMPLATE - for the MPC REN to control Ableton Live or other DAWs - Can this be set up currently, I am not sure?

20.. Drag and Drop Midi Files Into The Ren

21.. PURGE SAMPLES NOT USED IN THE PROJECT

22. SAMPLE FILE ORDER - Ability to sort samples alpha-numerically

23. NON-DESTRUCTIVE SAMPLE CHOPPING

24. LOCK SLICES ( see RECYCLE)

25. DROP AND DRAG A SAMPLE CHOP- In sample edit mode develop a method of showing the target program on the same screen and allowing the user to drag to the preferred pad.

26. SAMPLE BPM INDICATOR - Shows the BPM of each sample

27. MIDI CHANNEL INSERTS - for midi fx such as stutter edit etc..

28. PIANO ROLL NOTE INDICATOR - shows which note is pressed.


I know some of these have been mentioned by others but I have a few I have not seen on this forum.

Thanks for all the hard work Dan and all others involved in the development of this product. Keep the updates coming!!
