If you have a sample of 440 Hz sounding pitch, sampled at 44100 Hz sampling rate, if you use a single-cycle sustain loop, the loop will currently be out of tune with the beginning of the sample. There is no way to have a single-cycle sustain loop of integer length produce a 440 Hz sound at 44100 Hz sampling rate. 100 samples is too short, 101 samples is too long. The loop needs to be fine-tuned separately.
this is very important, together with what Mpc-Tutor asked about loop start\end to retain original tail of samples.
they might also copy how jjos2xl handled end\start of sustain loops: a graphic split window showing you on the left side the end of loop, on the right side the start of loop so you can easily make seamless loops. it's so easy, also Kontakt has it.
other features i'd like to see:
-sp404 style pad looping , toggle style: you hit a pad it loops indefinitely, you hit it again it stops. so simple, so easy, so good for some kind of performance. note: if you think clip mode does this you are wrong, clip mode is limited to the sequence length and tempo, while what i'm saying is completely free looping of a pad.
-one shot playback of sample like in the sp404mk2 (you hit the pad, or the sequencer plays the pad, if you press the pad again OR the sequence loops before the sample has ended, the sample is not retriggered and new notes are ignored until the sample is over then it can be retriggered\played again).
-tune follows tempo option without warp: you use "from bpm" as it is now, hit "match" so the mpc retunes the loop to be in time with sequence's bpm, then you engage "bpm sync". when you change tempo the mpc automatically changes the tune of all samples with bpm sync engaged, vinyl style. (here too the sp404mk2 does it very well).
