Is there a zoom function in sample edit in the Mpc Ren?

yes, in the software, the bottom right corner near the scroll bar.
on the actually hardware, there currently isn't a zoom feature.

This is one aspect of the Ren I would like to return to MPCs of the past like the 2500 or 2000XL. If you used these MPCs before and then you switch to the Ren, you will see how painful it is to edit from the controller. Much respect to those 'hit makers' using the number pads without the graphic waveform editor. I don't even bother with editing on the hardware.

There's quite a few oversights in terms of the features you'd expect on an MPC, but if we make enough (polite!) noise about it, hopefully they'll make their way back in. For me, I want to see full hardware based horizontal and vertical zoom JJ-style, plus numerical step edit.

Indeed! Zoom option directly on hardware, and STEP EDIT :-D

There is a zoom function on the hardware. It was added in 1.3

Hold Shift and use the cursor keys for either horizontal or vertical zooming.

Only horizontal scrolling works in sample edit mode.

Yes, but being able to zoom on hardware screen would be nice.

Even zooming BOTH together would be a major improvement indeed! Not using the MPC's screen is heresy! :nod:
