I haven't seen anything that would convince me to spend money on it.
Hey, I just tried it myself and I must say how you can drag a sample segment on a sample is amazing.
Some other great features are:
- being able to organize my sample folders in windows.
- editing my samples on a bigger screen
- all my music and sample CDs load instead of having to be sampled into the MPC (so it is technically faster)
- Saving to MPC in the future
- A great sample work station
I am not going to sit here and say- this version- is payment ready especially when JJ said on his youtube blog more features will be added like saving to MPC files.So, the additional features should make it payment ready.
Some improvements I would love to see is
1-Auto Name of samples: instead of "sample 1" as default...using the name of the original sample with auto sub headings-what you are trying to do.
For example,the sample name I loaded is trumpet riff...the jj sequence should have it ready to save as Trumpet riff_extract_1 or Trumpet riff_silence 1 or Trumpet riff_chop 1
2-Loop edit: There is auto play in loop edit but extract doesn't have auto play...so I have to press play with my mouse to test my sliced adjustments.
3-Toggle for wave names:when you toggle between "PAD" and "NOTE" I feel there should be Wave Name added.I have to drag the mouse to the right to see the sample on that track.
4-Mouse wheel: It's upside down. When I surf the net and want to scroll up I move the mouse wheel forward.When you try to change the velocity in the grid I noticed it was backwards.Up should be roll wheel forward and down should be roll wheel back.
5-Pattern Drag and Drop:This was a feature I was really looking forward to in the beta and now it's gone.Undockable patterns groups that I can label would be nice...like Favorite Pattern group or Shaker Pattern group.
6-Loop distance: changes when you switch to extract
7-No Audition:I have to press do it to hear the changes like reverse.
8-Grid Stops Playing:When you try to make real time edits to the grid it stops sometimes.
9-Chop: 1- 16 is also gone.
10-No Hott Keys:Pressing a button on the keyboard to audition a sound, if someone doesn't want to use auto sample play.
11-One to eight keys: if it's possible to use the numerals 1-8 (or F1-F8) to drop in positions on the grid.
12-One Key Chord: By pressing the "A button on the key board" you can play the cord of choice, then keys s'd'f'g are reserved for that individual note that goes with that chord.
13-The Rest:Right click on the grid to change color to blue to show note is there but not played.This will help for quick and precise arrangements.When it's saved into the MPC format notes will be deleted.
Good luck JJ
P.S. I'm looking for a JJ Sequencer Christmas
