I deeply love my MPC One and I started to use it more and more in isolation without any other external keyboard or expanders connected but I hate the midi mapping screen as it takes away the instinctive use of the machine. I would love a Midi Learn functionality like in Ableton live where you just click on any control and rotate the knob, or press the button and BAM! is assigned. I would love something like that implemented in a new firmware update so I can configure my midi controllers, faders, and sliders on my midi keyboard.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, make you voice heard people

This how it's works on the Force. It's not like that on the MPC? I could've swore I seen videos of people using the MPC like that.

It does work that way. I just midi learned a moog subsequent-37 knob to track volume on mpc x, plugin mini-d.

midi learn
+
plugin 001
volume
learn (highlighted)
twisted a knob on the moog (usb midi connected to mpc x)
instantly saw the plugin track volume on mpc x move.

7 seconds.

Thanks for letting me know I wasn't going more insane. :lol:
