I use a touch screen stylus for note editing,


Great idea. Which stylus works with the MPC touch screens? Thanks.


Any that are made for capacitive screens, really. The smaller the stylus, the better for accuracy. I keep one around because I have sausage fingers.

I tested an active pen some time ago. It works, but the touch point is next to the place you are touching.
So using it is more annoying because you can see what is happening. With your finger you can't see it so much, you just get the feeling that the screen is working shitty.

Pen I tested, the video doesn't show the problem:

I use these on mpc and kronos. There is thin nylon mesh over the tip so it slides smoothly across the screen.


I see you buy them in bulk. Guess you use two of those pens in chopstick style to zoom in and zoom out???

Yeah that's very similar to the pen I use. I love it - makes editing so much easier.

As usual, I'll be holding off for a couple of weeks, wait and see if there's more or less crashes with the new update :lol:

Thank you for the video. Interesting to see the new features slower.

They didn't show the probabilities function. I

So currenlty no surprises compared to Sonicstate video. No new plugins, no streaming, etc...
