Win7 x64

In the software, select some notes and press ctrl+c to copy them. Press ctrl+v to paste them. If you want to paste the same thing a second time and press ctrl+v again it doesn't work. But you can do Edit menu, copy, and it works.


I meant to say 'Edit menu, paste', not copy. Second ctrl+v doesn't do anything, but doing Edit, Paste does work.

All of my FXpansion Synth Squad synths, Strobe, Cypher, Amber, and Fusor
get stuck notes whenever played from an external MIDI keyboard.

This happens with the AU versions but not the VSTi versions.

I prefer to just have AU versions of plugins loaded instead of doubles of everything so this is definitely a problem.



hey air, or anyone else with notes sticking... is there a midi panic on the ren?

only way i found to stop stuck midi notes was to load a different vst in same spot, then take away and reload the stuck vst. then stuck note is gone..

Copy and paste in the software needs a whole new reworking. For example, if I want to copy notes from one pad, I should be able to select my desired notes, press/click the pad where I want the notes to go and press paste. Currently, when you do this the notes just paste right on top of themselves. The only way to copy in the software, that I've found is to highlight notes, hold control and drag. But when you do this, the notes don't move to the same place in time. They slide/shift around and you have to nudge them back to where you want them. Not a big deal for quantized notes, but when your notes are on the grid, it's a PITA!


yo hellfire.

i found when copying and pasting notes... for instance: i want to extend my bar count so i dble from 4 bars to 8. then i want to copythat first 4bar into last 4...
if you move the transport curser to the 5th bar when you paste it will drop on point.

basicly your paste option from copying notes from midi editor will drop pasted notes where you have left you transport. {White line}

This is easier and quicker to just do from the controller by pressing SEQ EDIT and Copy Bars! Also, I found that the software pastes notes exactly where the transport marker is. So if my unquantized kick actually starts at 1:1:010 and I want to copy to bar 5, if I move the transport to bar 5, it's going to paste that kick at 5:1:000 instead of 5:1:010. This is not ideal, unless you quantize your notes directly to the bar!

word up on hardware shortcut...

and ya it wont work for the unquantized notes. i quantize then swing. :oops:

And on a new bug issue:
I saved like 6 times over an hour and a half session. was working on new seq, dealing with duplicating my trillion for a chorus bass line. Those saves were in between some live percussion tracks i recorded.

vst's
i had ozone on master. and a mpc "HP filter sync" on sample trk then trillion for bass.

2nd trillion would not play sound. so i saved again. and restarted mpc software.
when i restarted it wanted me to re register like i just installed. i ignored, and tried to reload track. all but 1 of my proc. tracks where there and no trillion midi for bass al though the instrument (trillion) was there. so it did not take my saves!!!!!

it was a banger!!!! 8)

its a love hate relationship..... :mrgreen:

If you rapidly press these buttons in this order, the MPC will freeze up. It will throw an exception "Computer Stopped Communicating".

- "PROG EDIT", "PROG MIX", "SEQ EDIT", "SAMPLE EDIT", "SEQ EDIT", "PROG MIX", ***REPEAT***

There is no practical reason to have to press the buttons in such a fashion, but nonetheless, its a bug that needs to be addressed.

Easy: Just press STOP multiple times (twice or thrice?) and all your sounds will tail off.

Ok kool. Thanks 83dude. I will try that next time I have the issue.

Has anyone else noticed that once in a while you lay down a drum pattern and then once it cycles back there is no sound emitted from the notes displayed on the grid? Very annoying.

Have you ever used Microsoft Word, Excel, or Outlook and tried to use too many functions successively? Or how about clicking on multiple apps? You have never seen a PC message indicating 'Program Not Responding"? And have to use Control + Alternate + Delete or Force Quit? Welcome to the computer world.

I have a couple of bugs on the q-link Fx setting.
On the EFFECT tabs i can't see all the effects i load to track or pad, i just see the first effect that i load (for example Phaser) and the mpc use the same name for the other effects.

Like this EFFECT: none
Phaser1 track1 insert1
Phaser1 track1 insert1 (working like delay for example)
Phaser1 track1 insert1 (and so)

I also get problem using waves9 plugin. If i use a lot of them the mpc software begin laggy and maybe crash.
I can't set the filter in the q-link fx section for the Oneknob filter (my favorite ; ;)

Anyone like me? Sorry for bad english.


I've found this one and it's driving me mad! I thought it was something I was doing wrong as I'm new to the Ren. Anyone find a way to sort this out? It basically means you can't automate more than one effect with Q-Links as far as I can see. Any help would be appreciated.

When I load a 2GB program in Kontakt5 ( Ivory Piano I.E. ), takes me about 10 or 20 seconds of "Program Not Responding" :) Even with a SATA2 RAID0. Just wait, then enjoy ! Many users will press ALT+F4 thinking it´s a crash, but it is not.

Try to make beats on an old Amstrad CPC464 :)

- Any chance to see LCD BUGGY DISPLAY fixed when MPC as a plugin ?

- And does someone can tell me if it is possible to control multiple programs while MPC as a plugin ? At the moment, I can´t do it... just able to control de Actual Track program... Any settings with Midi Channel ? WTF again

Ahoi there! I've just experienced a problem and wanted you to have a look at it:

When I assign samples to a pad and play it at different velocities in VEL play mode, everything is fine. But when chosing CYC or RAN play mode, the velocity is ignored and the samples always play at full level. They do fulfil their proper function and cycle through or randomly select the layers, but playing the sound at different volumes is not possible anymore.

Somehow I don't think that's working as intended. Can't play the sample at different velocities if it's triggered otherwise?

Can anyone reproduce this? Can anyone check whether this problem occurs in 1.0 or 1.1 too?

Apparently, it doesn't happen to all the samples all the time, but this seems rather arbitrary, which sample plays when at full volume. Weird... :hmmm:
