alamin wrote:"AUTOPLAY" FEATURE REQUEST
-------------------------------------

One interesting feature in [MODE] [PAD12 LOAD] : "Autoplay"

F4 is unused : F4 could enable / disable the "Autoplay" feature.
With AUTOPLAY on, when you turn the DATA wheel, the WAV are automatically played one after another (no need to press a pad or [PLAY] in order to hear each WAV).

Very useful in order to choose the samples in a big soundbank! No need to press a pad each time you turn the wheel !

This.

This.

Not sure about the 1k, but on 2500 there is no need to press a pad each time you turn the wheel.. you can hold a pad to and scroll to achieve a similar function.

It's the same on 1000 but still, it would be more convenient to use one finger on cursor than having to use another pressing a pad.

Please make it possible to have a layer get randomly selected and played when a pad is struck. Round-robin layer selection would also be ok.
Thanks!

don't know if it's been requested but i'd really like to be able to change the track names whilst the beat is playing.

i would like to request the ability to name the Pad that is used in the Pad Mode Assign sets, and it to show on main screen. That would be greatly functional. As midi CCs are different on different synths and I cant remember 70 odd numbers for multiple synths.
I really like how it shows the pad assigned midi function and i can save these sets, that is very useful in many ways. so to make it a bit more clear, i want the ability to name the function!
so instead of A01:MIDI Ctrl#:74 127 on the main screen
we can see A01:MIDI filter cutoff 127
So i would like it to be able to name these MIDI CCs on pad assign like we can name patterns and this is brilliant to. So wonder if we can have the ability to name the function, and even choose either, the usual MIDI Ctrl#:74 127 or the given name I choose for the pad assignment. See I could save programs for different synths and save them, then load them. I just hit a pad and if i cant remember the cc ( they are similar but not the same) i can see it. This way i can set up heaps of CC functions and know what they are at a glance, without looking into a manual. I am not asking to have these named for me, just the ability to be able to name them my way.... thanks

Workaround: You can insert CC74(127) into a pattern and name it Filter Cutoff. Assign the pattern to a pad and the name will appear.

to be able to record changes in filter movement
like say i have a HPF on a sample

to be able to record the frequency changes in real time using the data wheel

this would be cool

U can using the Q-link: http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/os2xl/main_qlink.htm

Oh sh!t, u know what I totally forgot that u can do this with the q-link.thanks!

yeah that is the best workaround! but then im using lots of patterns and tracks...kinda not as fun to set up either... not a lazy thing just that it kinda is counter intuitive to me i guess. You know it would be good to share a set or two. I might give away a microkorg set as its pretty popular round here. That and my fantomXR will take days to finish.
so yeah hit me up

just sent this request to JJ. lets hope he can do it!

the new PATTERN feature is very powerful.

it is good to assign patterns to pads, and to play the patterns set to LOOP.
1 pad hit plays the pattern in a loop, the next hit stops the pattern.
many different patterns can be played at the same time.

a problem is, with 64 pads available, it gets very difficult to remember which pad is currently playing.
which is looping? which is stopped? how are all the pads currently assigned? it is impossible to remember the status of all 64 pads.
is it a sample? pattern? midi cc? program change?

so, i request a new screen: PAD STATUS SCREEN.
this screen will show the current assignment of all pads.
it will also show if the pattern assigned to the pad is playing or not.
it is a screen similar to the TRACK MUTE screen.


example of how it could work:

1. press the NEXT SEQ key to get to NEXT SEQ screen.
2. press the F2 button to get to the PAD STATUS screen (PadStat).
3. the screen now shows the status of the 16 pads (change the pad banks to view the status of all 64 pads).
4. eliminate the space at left of screen (that shows "SQ 1-16, BANK A) to give more space.
5. use small font to show more info.
6. each cell will show:
for sample: the sample name.
for pattern: PATTERN NAME, TRACK, +0, LOOP, ONE, or SOLO (L,1,S).
for midi cc : the CC# & value.
for program change: program change #.

for pattern, if a pattern is currently playing, the background will be black.
if a pattern is not playing, the background will be white.
if a pattern is looping, the background will stay black until the pad is hit again to stop the loop.

the currently selected pad will have a solid border (like the TRACK MUTE screen)
F3 will be an ACTIVE PAD feature (Act Pad). hold it & press the pad to make it active (just like the "Act Trk" tab in the TRACK MUTE screen).

***now, when a pad is active (solid border), you can use the cursor keys to edit it !!

EXAMPLE: if PAD 1 is set to midi CC, make pad 1 active and then press the left or right cursor to select the CC# (it will start to blink), then rotate the data wheel to change the value. press 'Act Pad' again to save the change.

EXAMPLE: if PAD 2 is set to pattern, make pad 2 active and then press the left or right cursor to select the pattern name, track, shift value, etc... when a value is selected, it will blink. then a value can be changed with a data wheel.
press 'Act Pad' again to save the change (the value stops blinking).


this new feature will make it much easier to see immediately how all the pads are set.
it makes it much easier and faster to change their setting.
it makes it possible to see which pad patterns are currently playing.
this new feature will be great for live performance, to see what a pad is set to before you hit it.

please note: it will be necessary for patterns to work while in this screen, so that they can be triggered on/off !
currently, this is possible only in the MAIN screen.

also sent him this simple request:

request: that the SAVE ENTIRE MEMORY command also saves the PAD MODE ASSIGN & the PATTERN BANK.

when later loading the PROJECT file, it also automatically loads the PAD MODE ASSIGN & the PATTERN BANK. this way everything is restored to how it was last saved.

Round robin pad please!
