Shifting timing

U sould be able to nudge by miliseconds also, 1ms, 10ms 100ms etc.

You should be able to choose if u want the swing, note shifting, to change a whole track or just one or more samples.

One cool thing would be to be able to se what changes u have made on one track in a list. so u can undo just stuff on that track, even if u done other changes to other tracks before, sort of like a per-track Undo feature, maybe even saving track changes and settings.

I would like to see:

A trigger mode that would play a phrase while being pushed, stop the phrase when not being pushed, and then pick up where it was left off when pushed again.

The ability to trigger MIDI clips like audio samples.

The ability to export per pad and not just per track.

The ability to export in mono.

Great ideas. It would have been nice to get feedback like this to Akai while OS1 was in development (it takes a long time to spec a feature, code it, and then test it).

But it is never to late I guess.

One of my top feature request is being able to sample edit sounds in a program. In other words, in Sample Edit Mode, I would like to have the pads trigger the samples assigned to a selected program. So when I strike Pad A01, the sample assigned should be displayed in the waveform editor. Then I can quickly use the Qlinks, data wheel, and cursor keys to edit that sample. Then strike Pad A02 and that sample is displayed in the waveform editor...so on and so forth.

The MPC 3000 does this...without the graphic waveform editor though.

After watching the videos, a good future feature would be for the track name in each sequence to automatically have the same name as the sample played on that track. For example if I start recording a sequence and the sample i'm recording on that track is 808 Snare.wav, that particular track by default is labeled 808 Snare then if I want to change the name to something else I can....

Would like to see a 'classic' MPC step editor option, where the actual sequencer events can be edited numerically. Do I sound like a dinosaur?

Also like they've implemented in the mixer, I'd like to see the note event info pop up when I hover over the note event.

Combining the two ideas, why not allow some way of ALT+CLICK on a note event to bring up an editable pop up window so some event details can be edited?

Both of these functions are high on my lists I needs.

Sync > Settings



In OS 1.0, there appears to be only sync 'Send', there's no option here to set up sync 'Receive'. So I assume that currently the Ren can only be a master, not slave.

This would be a top priority feature suggestion for me.

just from reading and watching, i'm reiterating what are top priorities for me:

sync ---> receive (slave)
multi core
rtas support (i'll use an Fxpansion adapter until then)
64 bit app
export mono

To me, these are the "not-so flossy, but necessary" things. Especially the ones in bold.

If what Tutor surmised is correct, the idea that there is no receive at the moment, and then there's no Rtas plugin for it without using a third party software to create a wrapper...

Shifting timing

Actually I made an mistake after watching soundsforsamplers video I saw that shift timing is included Yeah as that was one request to keep the mpc like workflow.

Not sure if you can do this but I'd like to mouse click where I want slices to be on a sample, this would make chopping a thousand times better, it should be easy to implement, the sampler on my fantom g6 can do this, I can go right to where I want the slice and add the slice point. Doesnt even have to be mouse-only, let us use the knob to move a play-marker over the desired area and let us 'add slice'

you can do this with the Ren software.

2. Slicing. I would like manual slicing using the controller like Roland MV/Fantom. The data wheel moves the location of the cursor and F keys insert or deletes slice markers. Every time I slice marker is added, the newly created slice is assigned to a pad.

Auto slicing by regions. Why on earth is my Fantom G resigned to only divide a sample into 16 regions? This is crazy. Give me at least 64 like found in all recent MPCs. Not in increments of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 like Machine. Really? Then if I dial in 64 chops, they should be automatically mapped to the pads. Then I can start adjust the start/end points of each slice. BUT....I should be able to have start/end points of each slice overlap if I choose. Yes...nondestructive chopping. JJ OS is on point with this. Maschine has a duplicate pad function but it’s no substitute for this function.

3. Convert sliced sample to keygroup or drum program. This is pretty simple. I want to also convert a chopped sample into a keygroup sample. If I have 64 slices, it should create a keygroup program with 64 keygroups...one key per keygroup.

You can use the mouse to move slice points but not insert or delete slice points. I love the way the Fantom G does it (I just hate the Fantom Gs 16 slice limit.)

And this is exactly what I mean.

Everybody in this forum knows exactly what they would like to see in an MPC/Sampler. You didn't need to whether the Ren could actually slice using the mouse right? You just know that this is something you want.

This is why I previously generated threads to break down each mode and for forum members to discuss what that would like to see in each mode. Then my threads were locked because no one seen the added value....which was silly because this is the same time of thread. The other threads attempted to narrow the focus.
