So if you are applying slight pressure to a pad, it will be triggered via note repeat at 1/16 and apply more pressure it changes to 1/32?

you should be able to apply pad velocity to any parameter you want.. (lfo speed, filter depth, etc... many synths do this already) Also, being able to turn on more than one 16 levels feature at the same time could be nice too.

More than one 16 levels feature would be dope for example if you select 16 levels or chromatic pads, selecting pad bank B picks up where A left off, C where B left off etc...

Good idea.

But that's the same as a chromatic program except you have no actual program.

I understand where everyone is coming from when you say "how can i make a feature suggestion to something that is not even out and i don't know what it can already do."


i'm not riding JAH but i think what he is trying to ask is say a developer came to your house and sat you down and said, ok, i'm making a product that is similar to Product X. and i want this product to be better than Product X What would you like to see in this product? how would you want this product to behave?

These questions will help make this product much better than any other similar products out there.

exactly!

It would also be nice if you could do this with any parameter. changinge the parameters value by the pressaure of the pad. also for midi hardware.

I couldn't have said it any better. These suggestions have helped shaped several MPCs.

I like your idea.

I think a 16 levels approach to note repeat would be better. With a quantize timing on each pad.

Also a DR Rex, Apple Loops type loop browser would be beneficial.

Nah, on 2nd thought the pad pressure would be better because you would need the 16 levels for the pitch or velocity on the breakdown.

My question Jah if he can answer it .I was wondering if you preview a sample from the library.Can you preview on the pads before you move it to that bank space ?If not that would be a cool feature to have .

It would be amazing if it had more than 2 usb ports. I have my computer on one table, and machine, speakers, audio interface etc. on another. Added usb ports would decrease the usb cable clutter.
I don't know if this has already been requested.

It has 2 USB A ports, and ONE USB B port... :nod:

:roll:

what ever that means...

but get a USB hub... if you are having trouble with the lack of usb ports.

:fku:

You ever notice that your USB cable has TWO different shaped ends? One is USB in,
and the other is OUT...

It would help if people could refrain from stating the obvious, like: "LET THEM EAT CAKE"
