Same mpc workflow also too. Watching the color variation lights I could see the velocity and pad mutes all on the same track. The parts that I'm wanted to see mostly were the sequencing and sample editing which is what an mpc is really about.

Next videos should show the Ren working Pro Tools or Logic tracking out. However keep the beat making videos coming with some new and old beat making cats on it like Alchemist, Showbiz, Exile, Just Blaze, Derrick Mays, Derrick White, SebasTian and others working with it.

Ren looks good so far.

Hey Andy or Dan
Will the parts per quarter note (ppqn) be adjustable? This is a very nice feature to ad becuz the old sequencers on the 3000 was 196 i think, that would play a major key of getting that vintage sound and groove on the old mpcs, since the the newer models run on 960, that groove wont flow the same. I know the beat thang has this feat , im not a fan of the product but this one feature is the only thing goin for it and i would love the mpc to implement it.
Check out this video of explanation

Hi Andy or Akai Support, Thanks for answering questions,can you answer these please.. As currently Maschine is driving me nuts..

1. Will the Mpc REN be able to make use of it's Transport inside DAWs?
How will this work, midi clock,mtc?

2. Can the Mpc REN save our program output assignments for the mixer, and reload new kits without effecting the mixer? for example Maschine cannot save the output section to different outputs once a new kit is loaded, it's extremley tedious setting up mixes in daws because of this..

This is a huge deal for me!!

Thanks again if you can shed any light on these questions..

1. This does suck!

2. This is how all MPC's have also operated in the past. Outputs are always linked to the pad within a program, not the pad globally. I actually prefer it this way, especially in Maschine for the simple fact that not all sounds are stereo and not all are mono. So depending on the sound within a kit you load, you need to make sure it's going to the correct amount of outs; mono or stereo. I wouldn't want it defaulting to all stereo outs or all mono outs. I'd rather select the proper ones manually for each sound!

That layer drag and drop feature is very nice... Hope that same feature is doable via the controller... (loading samples to specific layers per pad..)


In one of these videos, Andy shows how you can layer samples on the pads using the Qlinks. In Program Edit Mode, you can use Qlinks to quickly assign loaded samples into pad layers.

Thanks!


Good question, that will make it easier to track out if sequencing in a DAW
