Hi folks,

New MPC user here.

I'm loving the MPC experience so far except for one thing, the envelopes!

Surely there must be a way to change how an envelope segment curves? Sometimes you want a decay to curve one way, sometimes the other way. Please tell me there's some way to tweak it, i can't believe anyone could sell product in 2021 with this most basic of functionality missing?!

If not, is there any official place to make a feature request?

And just one other question for which i won't clutter up the forum with a separate thread: is it possible to have two different samples on the same pad, and each sample has it's own envelope setting? I worked out how to have multiple samples on a pad, but they all share the same envelope it seems.

Cheers!

Assuming you have (say for instance) 4 sample layers on one pad, unfortunately, the only things you can adjust independently for each sample layer is its semitone, fine, volume level, offset (on the same page as the layers) and the pan, velocity start, and velocity end on the Pan/Velocity page. The Filter/Envelope, LFO Mod, and Effects pages are all global per pad. As for segment curves, what you see is what you get on the Filter/Env page. :(

^^ That webpage is linked to from the desktop MPC Software, in the lower right where you see a "happy face" icon. You can provide feedback and report bugs from there.
