If it’s there it’s there. If it’s not it’s not.
A discussion of “should it be there” is separate. Mixing the 2 is filthy.
No, it is not. It is clear that the current crop of MPC software designers are simply maintaining the spirit of the classic MPC lineup, but lack the institutional memory to enact the spirit of Roger Lynn's innovation and instead gate keep the status quo. Free running LFOs are a standard feature for contemporary sound design for a very long time now. The fact that this most basic of features is missing from the current crop of MPCs is a blatant oversight and absolutely retrograde and backwards headed.
Shame on you for supporting and endorsing InMusic's marketing practices. If current users don't advocate for reintroduction of a preexisting MPC feature which has been _removed_ from contemporary machines, that lack of feature will likely never go noticed by the twenty something InMusic software designers who were just babies when the original Akai MPC design teams were active.
Nobody here is supporting or endorsing anything to do with InMusic's marketing. Plain and simple, it didnt come with one, so if you want one you need to go submit a feature request to Akai and hope they listen. Nobody here works for Akai, this forums is not affiliated with Akai/InMusic in ANY way so you're complaints are falling on deaf ears here. We've all known about it for years now, its not like this is a new discovery, so go tell Akai to "fix" it.
