My bad thought the KBD-FLT was for tracking, must RTFM :Sigh:
some bad labelling there, should be AFT-FLT, though there is a control on the LFO page labelled AFT-FLT for external keys so unless the KBD-FLT is only aftertouch for the pads it makes no sense.
Perhaps the manual is wrong and KBD-FLT actually is tracking, will test later.


Tested now, moho1 manual 0, KBD-FLT is tracking not pad aftertouch as stated in the manual and AFT-FLT controls the after touch amount from both pads and external.

Scrolling long folders is hideous. If it would flip by like scrolling on a cell phone it would make the lack of expansion browsing a little easier to swallow.

Shift+Copy deletes selected notes in grid mode. The eraser tool drives me mad.

Also have lots of submitted bugs for audio tracks in controller mode. Cuts not nudging to grid, sometimes nudge, edit start, etc just is unselectable. Its actually a but unusable, for me anyway having come from ableton.

I to believe it's a bug. A workaround is to touch a empty space next to the audio track (because the mpc thinks that you have multiply files selected :Sigh: ) and than touch the audio file again and the editing controls are selectable again. :smoker:

The browser is just rubbish, they need to completely overhaul and rethink it. And it still beggars belief that they created their own 'expansion format' but have not actually added any kind of support for installing and properly displaying expansions in the standalone machines, other than making you scroll through one big folder. Can we at least have support for the 'grouping' function, especially as I spent weeks renaming all my sounds using their crappy 'tagging' system.

Lol, yeh how do I access my expansions? The pictures look great but swear there is no way of actually using them.

I prob will have to hop back to ableton for complete production. The MPC software just isn't there yet, feels too primitive.

I am brand new to the mpc and I have to say you are right. I have the live and 2gigs of ram is something but this is 2017 if you make a machine this powerful it needs a lot more then 2 gigs of ram and disk streaming would solve that problem completely and make it a standalone beast all the other things I see are just personal grips but disk streaming needs to become a reality on this beast. Plug in a 128gb usb are sd and have unlimited potential.

I kind of hope they won't present anything new at NAMM…


Fingers crossed for an MPC X controller. I hate how the q links are laid out in the sample edit window on the Live, Studio, and the Touch.

Or maybe I can find a Renaissance used or refurbed.
