After having been in contact with AKAI PRO, They simply referred me to using the MPC-FORUMS For help and requests... (LOL )
So here we go, My List of bugs to be fixed and Feature requests for any up-and-coming MPC OS UPDATE.
MPC OS 2.10..1+ Fixes and Feature Requests.
Here are the fixes and features I would love to see happen with the next and or future MPX OS Updates. I'm talking about the OS SOftware that runs the current standalone MPC units. Like the MPC X, MPC LIVE and LIVE 2 alongside the MPC ONE of course.
1) Q-Link knobs sensitivity adjustment feature and remove the screen Q-Link status pop-out display, stuck on the screen and the only way to get rid of / remove the window is to reboot the system. Also other known bug fixes.
i) Status window bug,
ii) Q-Link pop-up window not highlighting the displaying rows and columns correctly when holding the Q-Link button down to display status parameters.
iii) Q-Link 3, when editing in sample edit mode, Making radical adjustments, rather than the x10 it's mapped to be doing.
Not to mention the 3rd Q link not functioning when trying to loop a sample, I have also made a video of this problem.
2) More ability to save samples after recording a sample, Additions to save sample from the sample edit window/pages directly after any edits or processing (i.e normalisation or are completed ) Without the need to save a project or put a sample into a program.
3) The ability to load and save like the older AKAI OS Sytems, The ability to filter what you wish to load, i.e Save: Current and Save ALL,
Alongside an option to Load/Save "Project, Programs and Samples", - "Program and Samples", - "Program/s Only", - "Sample/s Only",
4) At the Preferences "INFO' window. Have the ability to save your user preferences to a file, once you have changed or edited them. With the ability to load your user/saved preferences, file into your MPC Once a "Reset Preferences", the function has been carried out. Perhaps when you have a new/ 2nd MPC that you wish to load your preferences onto.
Also when prompted while loading any Programs and Samples, With the pop-up warning window states: Sample exists, Replace? or Cancel? -
Have the new option/Check box to Skip or Skip all. (Being any duplicates). Allowing the loading process to continue further onto completion. (The Load / Save option previously mentioned would solve this also.
5) Better file management as a whole.
The ability to select multiple files for organization and management, and the ability to move folders and files from the internal drive.
Most other file management can be completed on a computer via the SD card, however, it's not handy to continually remove the SD card and insert it into a computer simply for this function.
*) A "select all" function in the LIST EDIT mode would be great!
*) The ability to LIST ALL NOTES or EVENTS FILTER on Multiple channels, Track (LIST EDIT).
FIX the Multiple edit function in Program edit 2nd DRUM TAB, Multi PAD mode / As THE Q'-Links fail to edit ALL or MULTIPLE PADs when in Edit mode. (See PAD MULTI EDIT BUG - Video).
How about adding a second LFO? Also, the ability to add pre-delay before the LFO kicks into action. This was a function available on the older S3000XL, alongside multiple LFO's.
Add a function where you could swap between user tools, like zoom and selection tool. It can be very frustrating at times when all you want to do is select something, however, you're not zoomed in enough to select the event due to its size, or lack of it.
These are just a few things I have found to be fixed in an update, alongside some nice new functions perhaps.
This would help very much in the workflow.
