So MPC 2.5 is out...

They would have been better off including this in 2.4... so that it would have been a feature of a bigger update, not the major part of an update.

So is it a joke or what?
New warp algorithm or not?
Who gives a **** about Splice?
It looks like a weak update.
Does it mean Mpc is going to be done soon?

Good to see them working but nothing for me.. MCU control would have been nice..

Splice is meh. Not something I've ever used, and not going to now.

Looks like the new warp algorithm isn't a creativity tool, rather it's simply to allow sample previews to be played back at sequencer tempo. A bit misleading to use the words "new warp algorithm", if it's something I can't actually use to be creative.

Not worth its own point release IMO - should have been in 2.4.

Yeah in the akai vid when Andy is auto warping the preview sounds, I don’t hear that harsh algorithm they we currently have.

Probably it was carefully selected sounds that didn’t have to stretch too far though.

The good news is they're still working on it and actually adding features that was on that list/roadmap from GS forum so I'm happy with that.

I want the fake 2.5

I don't think its a New Warp Algorithm introduced. Its just the Warp Feature while Auditioning samples in the Browser. Im not sure on the Software side of things tho. I guess if we need better Warping, we'll have to use the Software to Warp.

In My Eyes The MPC X/Live Are Complete Monsters! It may be on its final leg as far as Updates. Maybe One More Good One...And That's it. Im completely satisfied with MPC X. Coming from the Old School...Workarounds are 2nd Nature as far as Features!

Mmm it looks like it's not over yet, according to Dan, Akai product manager on GS. He says we are far from the end of Mpc development and usually when he says something its true.
So there are still things to implement.
One was this Splice, some will like it, I really don't care about it.
Then it seems they are working on disk streaming and multi midi. And that's fine even if I can easily live without them.
Then Mpc should have the 3.0 OS which is already on Force and the Hype synth.
I think this 2.5 was put out in a rush because of Force, so Force users that mostly work with clips can download clips and forget that Force is still not even at the beginning of the development.
So hopefully there will be more Mpc updates with crucial features this year.
let's see.

And then Spliced your nuts lol

Ah ah
Splice your clips out bro

On the software side, I always hate that installing an update always changes your warp algorithm back to MPC. Who the hell wants to be forced to use the lowest algo there by default?

Splice integration is just Wi-Fi syncing with the Splice servers to grab your existing library, I dont understand why they didnt just go the while hog and offer Wi-Fi syncing with all major cloud providers, its just hooking into their existing APIs, same tech and completely free. And why not Wi-Fi syncing with your computer? iMpc?

That’s true I thought the same but I can also be because splice wanted first dibs. Definitely a business thing and hopefully the rest will come later.

they updated the manual with this too
that was basically what i would love to see, end of hope
