to enable audio recordings to be layered on separate tracks on the fly ( recorded in ) the same way you can in drum mode without stopping the machine. This would bring a whole new level to MPC live performance as you could fully create a new track live on the spot and feed off the energy of the surroundings and self.

i was always an sp12 and 1200 man obviously the mpc is now more powerful but ive never liked the mpcs multi mode and ive been programming drum machines since 1983!! if jj os could add a feature like the sp1200 when your in multi mode it can show you velocity and tune, decay whatever... on screen for each seperate pad that you could seperately retune while in multi like on the sp1200 that would be absolutely dope!!! you could do mantronik style edits and **** much easier with better flair also they should put the quantize resolution up to 96 i dont know why akai thought to only go up to 48 th note triplet when every drum machine thats ever been created has always gone up to 96 as a drum programmer it can piss you off when they start to restrict something after 25 years when they should be goin forward im not complaining too much though i got a better os than the original akai os!!!!! mpc 2500

Hi there,

I just began to play with JJOS XL on my 2500. I think the MIDI features are awsome. JJOS has so much more features than the AKAI OS that it's just not fair to compare them. :D

I was playing around with assigning specific chords to specific pads. I think they are being saved with the sequence. Would it make sens to have something like a Pad-to-chord Program? I would be able to recall that Chord/Pad configuration just by loading this type of program. Maybe it's already possible and I haven't figured it out.

I was think of the same thing for pad-to-note programs. If I set up every pad to send specific notes, is it possible to recall a particular configuration like a Pad-to-note program?

I would love to see a track sequencer similar to Roland's MV8800/Reason implemented. It would certainly make creating songs much easier. This is where I believe the MV surpasses the MPC, true sequencing of tracks is extremely difficult and time consuming on the MPC.

If this hasn't been mentioned before, in TRIM I'd like a moving cursor as you playback your sample - so you know which part of the waveform is being played back - sometimes i get a bit lost with long samples...

Can't be too difficult as it exist in Audio Track feature

EDIT - just searched this thread, about 20 reqs so far. ooops

you need 300 bpm for finer resoluiton, and you ask for quantize 1/4 ? you are one of too many using the wrong gear. all these features you ask for repeatedly are best done with a pc and software. but you probably thing that an mpc look much cooler than a pc.

you could have proposed 1/96 (or better 1/64 first), which would have been actually more useful than 1/4.

but what you could have realized (if you were thinking a bit), is that there are no more F keys available to add more quantize options.

do yourself a favour, buy a pc. all your wishes will come true. (and yes, a pc can be a musical instrument). and you will still be able to play "improvised music" (whatever that mean).







I am also coming ti MPC from the computer DAW based environment and a giggin jazz Saxplayer, u play few other instruments ( piano, bass, flute, clarinet)

I use laptops on stage for triggering samples and seqences...
but would like to add MPC to this setup for it's sound, reliability, tactile vibe.etc,etc

at the moment MPC1000 OSjj 4.99 is in the learning process,
to explore what I can do and what I can't ...

So I do second the previous post, with one addition ...

Is there a feature on any JJ OS to play some sequence or song
and sample ( short) yourself playing an instrument or sing on top of that
in real time like a cycle recording in Logic Audio or something like
recording an audio loop without stopping just like you can do with the drum tracks ?

Absolutely!
That would be waaay to cool.
MPC just like a live looper , scatch pad , that you could record short audio loops on the fly ( as much as memory alows of course) using with some midi pedal to start stop recording , change track , etc.... and than edit them to a final track.

is there a way to something similar in JJOS 1 or 2 ... even non realtime ?


P.S. Ableton Live is great for that... but it ain't as robust as MPC and doesnt have that tight timing and just doesnt sound as good....
Sorry , dont want to start a "software" vs "hardware" war here ;)

please remove fat line in the end, there is a bug, that note can be writen in before fat line and thin line, check scr.
thanks

I'm new here, but coming with years of hardware sequencer experience.. A thought after 15 minutes of MPC experience.

Any possible way we could have an independent bar length per track in a sequence? It really livens up your sequences when the tracks are different lengths and they start falling into different orders as they loop over independent of each other. (Polyrhythms)

You could set one track as the master which would then be used to step songs forward etc..

sorry if this has been discussed before.....

(EDIT - Just read about simlut seq, which is a good first step, but true independent bar length per track would open this thing wide open)

Excellent suggestion! I've also wanted this feature implemented.

I would like slider velocity shifting to be recordable via overdub in the same way that pitch is.

in Main screen and in Audio Track screen.... for no reason....

should be removed

Means you can have your hands jamming along on your keyboard/guitar/congas, etc, then hit your foot-pedal to record/overdub.

Would be nice to have the sequence keep looping with your recorded audio. When you turn overdub off, the mpc could select a new, empty audio track for you, ready for more overdub-action. Will keep things flowing nicely :)

A good example of another reason I want overdub audio track recording is:
Say I have a keyboard sequenced up to my mpc... it goes through a delay pedal and a compressor and the compressor's side-chain has an input from one of my mpc channels... I cannot record this from a 'standing start' as my effects won't have kicked in properly till maybe a bar or two later. Sure I could set up two dummy bars up at the start and attach them to the beginning of my sequence.. and then cut them off afterwards and then chop off the start portion of my audio track properly in order to line it up -.-

But really, it's keeping the creative flow going and jamming along to my mpc and then hitting record when I FEEL something that I want. Having to stop the mpc, hit record.. tick, tick, tick, tick is naff.
It was possible to record audio on-the-fly in WAkaiOS, please make it possible in JJOS.


Yes to Overdub AUDIO track recording on the Fly with a foot switch option !

pad loop mode, like on the SP-505 where you can loop samples on a pad by holding the "Hold" Button. When I do that now in jjos I have to press the "next seq" Button. Problem here is no effects are aplied when I change them in the mixer screen, it also stops looping when i press the same pad again. Maybe in the globalProgrammEdit should be a field that says "loop when triggerd".

In XL i like the feature that you can assign a sample to each bar,
this should be in OS2 and maybe a feature that loops the Audiotrack indipendently from all the other tracks. So Audio1 is 2 bars, drumtracks are 7 or whatever bars.

hope no one came up with this already, just cant read 40 pages right now.

EDIT:

sending of midi clock data even if play is not pressed.
I like to sync my effects and synth to one main source, so the arp on my synth runs
on the speed the mpc dictates etc.

Is it really to make FX's as AUDIOSUITE ?
I mean:
- select sample -> edit -> select FX (f.e : EQ) -> make parameters and adjust it to sample with overwrite function.

It's too long to send sample to FX then resample, disable send to FX, adjust FX'ed sample to pad and etc...
Thanks.

yeah... exactly, i've asked for this one too. it would be so nice to quickly drop some reverb on drums this way. i personally hate the way resampling works... too much work.
