who does? i'd love to see a head count, as i reckon its the biggest waste of space in the OS so far.

replace all that code with really usefull stuff, like all that above lfo, fx autom stuff would rock.

co-sign!

I still wish JJ add a color inversion option on the track mute screen.
So black=unmute and white=mute. That is so much more logical and Akai and old JJ os allways use these colors. So stupid JJ reversed it. I will not use the JJ os live because of this, since I have to think about what is muted and what is not. At home I'm a heavy mpc2kxl user so it's very confusion having the colors inversed on the 1000.

and Yes I know I posted this more then once on this forum.

fair cop, yay for invert option!

and with more logical I also meant:

Selections allways get a color. If you look at windows on your computer, everything is white until you select someting it gets blue.

So this way I also think when I look at the track mute screen. Just like the Akai and old JJ OS.

This is so programmed in my brain that when I would play live with the 1000 I would make for sure faults all the time.
Most of my liveset is improvising with the mute/unmute tracks to build songs.

i agree with you mostly, but its become second nature to see in the mpc that something 'blacked out' like JJ's muted track - makes sense to me now - as a lighted up item is 'alive' or 'active' or 'on'......but lets be fair, it was originally that a blacked item was on in akai yeah, so i definately would give the optional flip switch somewhere in the OS a warm welcome, so peeps can have it either way depending on what u r used to working with.

When tracking out a beat, it would be cool if you have an option like "X" besides of 1,2,3,4,L,R meaning the sample won't be in a output. Let's say you have 7 elements in your drums part, one for each output, the 7th will unfortunately be on Stereo out or another out. This case is when all in on one track and you can't mute easily.

^ that's absolutely brilliant - route it to nowhere
i always just turn that sucker's levels down - X route would be far better.

With the TAP button, you can place these notes as the sequence is playing. Also another TR drum machine staple. Since I learned about this and discovered this loop editing mode, it just seems to me that that crucial element is missing. I really have grown to appricieate this way of sequencing. It really shows you why a lot of house and trance music was made from them...

Yeah! With this new (to me) feature on jj os2 a "Tap button" like the roland tr-808 and 909 makes all the sense.

It would also be cool if on the mpc we had the ability to freely change the number of steps in a rhythm pattern so even odd rhythm and patterns with less than 1 bar can be written.

Peace.

That's what I'm talking about! It seems very logical to have a tap button to emulate these old classic sequencers. I also really like the idea of being able to change the length of the loop being edited. This way you could edit just half of a bar while looping. Not only would you be able to sequence just like the 808 or 909, but you would be able to adjust the length in ways that you never could before...
Good thinking lojohn! We seem to be on the same page...

It would be nice if it was possible to add a note/comment in your song were you could write some settings you used in the song. For example I would write 808 pattern 6B and 101 lfo 5, Octave 4. Juno octave 2, arp 3 Up/down, etc

I now do this using the track names. If the name is too long, I use an empty track for the rest.

What about adding ROLAND SP-404/303/202(?) style mark-set loop and start/end marker setting in trim mode?

Meaning:
Play the sample. During play tap a specified pad for your start point, then tap again for your end-point. Tap somewhere in between for your loop point even. This may have been mentioned but this thread is so long and the ideal term to search for escapes me.

Seems possible, especially with the inclusion of markers in audio tracks. Would make chopping phrases much easier.

*and yeah.. trash the realtime pitch-shift on the input. worthless. any good turntable'll do that anyway.

1)look under edit in trim mode. it'll be like christmas morning.

Not sure if this one has been mentioned, but when in the GRID EDIT screen it would be nice if the ERASE button became a ON/OFF or hold switch so you dont have to keep it pressed in to erase, this way you just switch erase on and hold the pads to erase whatever sound you want, its a bit pointless to keep the ERASE button held down with a extra finger
