No portamento?

No it doesn't. None of the MPCs has portamento/Legoto nor Glide.

Now the software is a different story.

This was suppose to say MPC 2500 not 5000.

MPC 4000 has portamento and MPC 1000 and 2500 with JJOS has it

Charles where's the knob on the 4000 and 1000 that says portamento? JJOS is optional its not the original part of the MPCs

Maybe portemento is better served on a analog synth...
I agree the live features for keygroup sampling are lacking but I don’t see much use for portemento unless it’s 303 baselines or g thang leads ...

I see where your coming from, would be Nice for more rebust sampling. However it’s not a sound design tool rather a writing tool.
Try your keygroups on a toriaz. This is better left for vst imo.

Hard to run plugins in standalone mode

Step one
Load Square Wave

Step two
Add Model 3 filter (303 modelled filter)

Step three
Add portamento... Oh wait...

Step four
Play your 303

I couldn't agree more. I never expected that to be in standalone.

Does anyone know whether the Portamento feature was removed on OS 1.71. When I follow the instructions in the manual to get to turn the feature on, the option doesn't appear on the screen it's supposedly on?

You have to make sure it's a Keygroup program. Highlight the program in the program list screen and hit the "Misc" tab at the bottom of the screen. Portmhero should be in the midi section of that screen I believe.

Works in keygroup on the 4000

4000 keygroups? Hmmm its been a long while since l been on a 4000. Don't remember that. Back then it wasn't being used like now.

So many features so little time......still it would be welcome if it appears on the next update.Sliding 808 bass drums?

Make a Keygroup -
Click Program Button -
Highlight Program that's a Keygroup -
Press MISC (F3) -
It's under the MIDI sections along with Mono Legato.

Personally, I've never seen a real drum kit, with a Portamento glide/slide effect.

For me its not a need. I hope people get what they want.
