A few possible bugs

Hi guys,

Just got back in the MPC world after a 10 year hiatus! Used to have a 2000 and a 4000 back then. It's been just push, maschine and Toraiz SP16, Cirklon till last week when my MPC Live arrived!

I'm quite impressed with it.... however...... I've noticed:

1. You can't record audio tracks when the Live is synced as a slave device (this eventually lead to a crash as I was trying to record multiple files, then delete them, then start a new project - MPC Live crashed, lost the samples in that session)

2. I can't seem to play aftertouch / modulate pads when in pad performace mode. For example, if I map aftertouch to pitch, it plays and responds to aftertouch as expected in normal program mode, but if I want to take advantage of this using chords or scale mode in Pad Performance mode it does not work - no aftertouch to pitch response at all.

3. As I've seen others mention, lack of pitch response over midi is disappointing too.

That's just a few observations after around 6 hours. Loads of fun so far and lots of potential.

Cheers.

Glad to see you here Simon
Indeed a wonderful machine with great potentials!

Hey buddy!

Hope married life is treating you well! The Tempest forum isn't too busy these days, particularly with John The Savage's absence!

I still prefer the pads on the Tempest, but I was sleeping on the MPC Live for a while - it's very powerful and great fun and fast to use.

See you around here no doubt

Hehe married life is treating me right ;-P
John and Chris Hector are back now that things got calmed down in the Tempest forum..The creative period has started there as LucidSFX started a Tempest compilation thread where any T user can send a track for an album..You should check it out!
See you around buddy
