I just want to make it clear what is the most important feature for me and that would be a grid editor on the MPC Renaissance screen on the hardware, just like they have it on the MPC 2500 and other MPCs. The idea with the Renaissance I thought was to blend hardware and software together. Why would you not include a grid editor on the hardware screen. That's the main reason why software users decided to buy the renaissance. The grid editing window on the software screen on your computer screen has very limited non DAW features. It is absolutely absurd that the grid editing features of MPC 2500 has the DAW features that software based producers want and need which is to be able to know the exact tic position of a midi note and the ability to move a midi note or a group of midi notes to the exact numerical tic position desired, yet the Renaissance does not have this. I might as well bought an MPC 60. Akai has been using this feature on older MPC models for years. Just put the dang gone feature on the Renaissance. Absolutely ridiculous that this was not in version 1.0, yet it's featured on the MPC 2500, MPC 4000, and MPC 5000 from the get go. Such ****.


Good Point !!!

I want to use the computer screen as little as possible. Grid editing on the Ren would help.

Internal busing to individual tracks. Being able to send audio to another track with FX on them would add greatly. If you could sample thru a track with effects such as filters, eq.

Routing for plugins other than Master (1-2) using an outside DAW. Working with some programs while toggling between I/O ins and outs causes some crashes and a weird digital distortion builds up over time.

A dedicated mapping page similar to Qlinks for other controls , note repeat, tap,etc.
This would help for Live playing . I know there are no dedicated templates such as Maschine. Just open more options within the Ren

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's no way to turn off the screen like on my 3000. Especially as the Ren is going to be on most of the time in my studio. Would be great if there was a screen off function or that it auto dims after a user set amount if time..

I had a jam session with a couple other people and I couldn't load any new sounds without stopping my parts...it was pretty annoying. :?

Thanks for posting this here for me. With this damn disaster, I haven't had steady enough Internet to comb through this whole thread to see if any of my suggestions were mentioned already! :wink:

Agreed, NEED It to Make the MPCR a Real Live machine, even in Studio !

Why does i can't change Vsti presets without my mouse or a Midi Program change info.... ? Not Fair to use, we need a quicker way to work with VSTi.
