Hello all. Will the mpc-r be able to sample other tracks from within a daw? Like if I have a synth track can I use the sampler as an insert effect and capture that performence to bring it into the mpc as a sample? Also can we have a seperate mpc-r effect plugin (vst, au, rtas etc.) to use as effects for other tracks outside of the mpc-r? thanks.

If Dan or Andy are still around.


What does the "scroll" dial do on the top left hand corner of the Studio in relation to the software?

Also, why have you arranged the 2nd function numerics on the pads the way you have? The image shows...

Pad 13 = 1
Pad 14 = 2
Pad 15 = 3
Pad 9 = 4
Pad 8 = 5 etc


I don't know why Pad 1 can't be the number 1 and follow on like that sequentially, the same as the MPC1000?

since the Ren is its own audio device, will it be able to sample the computer internal audio?

(for example, I have a movie running on my PC, and I want to sample a dialogue or anything else, or I'm playing a MP3 and I want to sample it, or a youtube video running in background)

will we just have to set something like "record from: internal" or will we need a separate audio interface and plug its outs to the ins of the Ren?

I'd also like to know about this. can you imagine the amount of stuff you could sample if you can sample youtube videos?! songs, movies, audio from tv shows, etc.

assuming we have normal audio card settings/routing similar to a DAW, you should be able to do this. I think its been said but you will be able to use other audio interfaces with the ren (on the studio you will have to).

I'll answer the question for you...


"He said it was AWESOME! He thinks the old school sound and feel might actually get him back to making some good tunes again!!!"

Premo said something similar... :mrgreen:

There's no word on an SP mode at this point, but I think it's inevitable.
