let's post our top nuisances when working with current MPC
-workflow killerz so to say

i'll lead the way:

- if deleting a sample (from SAMPLE EDIT), you'll end up on sample 0 instead of the next or previous sample you were working on
- if you enter the BPM of a sample, and do extract, the new sample has another BPM (not related to original sample at all)
- if you browse samples, the ZOOM level is that of the previous edit/sample, never default to zero/whole sample (unless you zoomed out before browsing)

a real workflow/jamsession killer is that you have to stop your mpc, and when jamming with a friend the whole midi setup, when you want to erase your automation and push the erase button..

1. Software is not where it should be.
2. Not robust enough for ME .
3. Touch screen emh, didn't do it for me. Give me mouse activation and HDMI on the back and l would of been happy. It would of been my lil standalone setup. :smoker:

Don't listen what that MC Hammer guy is saying!
In grid mode, open the automation lane and you can select from the "Velocity" drop down menu which automation to edit or delete. There's a little trash can icon on the left side of the automation lane.
