Done already. The Ren can be used as a MIDI controller. All buttons, knobs, pads, etc send MIDI info. But Akai indicated they will not be creating templates for other software. It will be up to each individual or manufacturer to do that.

The ability to freeze tracks like in ableton,logic & cubase i think even pro tools does it would save heavily on cpu and give you more room to work in would be great

Thanks to the programmers, testers and forum members the REN is looking very promising and many of my request where delt with in 1.3 so thanks guys!!!!


1.3 Yes :-D 1. No Plug-In Duplication - (CPU is being killed / Mac 2.66 Quad)

1.3 Yes :-D 2. Use multiple tracks on a single vst such as Kontakt

not yet :( 3. Audio tracks to record vocals and external gear and plug-ins in real time.

1.4 Soon according to Dan :-D 4. Multi-core capabilities for better processing efficiency. (but Dan said it's coming in 1.4 so :-D !!

Not that I know of? :( 5. Convert a track with multiple sounds on it to multiple unused tracks.

Not that I know of? 6. All screen sizes adjustable to our choosing when working, i.e. Piano roll, note edit, automation and mixer channels etc. In the Track mixer mode the track width and height should be adjustable.

Not required now with the new mixer architecture :-D 7. Additional export option (export all pads/sounds used in the song). Layered sounds should export combined.

???? :? 8. Track names should be exported with each individual exported track so we will not have to rename them in another DAW.

:( Not Yet 9. File Browser folders should save their positions when a template is saved.

????? :( 10. 16 Tunings on the 809 plug-in.

???? Not sure :shock: 11. Volume knob on auto preview.

???? not sure :shock: 12. Right click on a track for a drop down menu for duplication, delete and other functions.

:( Not yet) 13. Freeze vsti to a pad/program !!!

:-D 1.3 right? 14. Full Mixer Mode which assigns every sound being used to a track (layered sounds on pads are assigned one combined track).

:( Not yet 15.) Audio Warp feature (when audio tracks are added) to handle re-mixes and syncing to tracks (Elastic Audio).


Here are my top request for 1.4 (I know I am a bit early on this but why not!)

1. Freeze plug in to a pad.

2. Double click on Bank buttons instead of holding shift? Assign-ability as well.

3. Multi-Core Functionality

4. 64 virtual outputs (plug in and stand alone modes).

5. 16 Tunings Patch Phrase option - when selected True Real Time Time stretch/Pitch shift function with zero artifacts for 4 octaves. I guess it would technically be 48 tunings or more. ( I would love to play chords with the sample in tune without creating a separate patch phrase to keep the creative vibe going).

6. 64 Bit

7. ASR - 10 Expansion & Vintage Mode

8. Audio Warp feature (when audio tracks are added) to handle re-mixes and syncing to tracks (Elastic Audio).

9. GROUP to lower the gain structure of the overall mix for additional headroom or an option to set as a start up default (template) to have all volumes set at a much lower volume (not sure if this has been taken care of in 1.3 or not).

10. Save the last working session when a crash happens like in ableton live 8.

11. Drag a pad and it's content to another pad location and also create a swap pad feature.

Bug Fix? Has the undo problem been rectified in 1.3? :hmmm:




Thanks for the hard work the testers and developers are doing, Thanks Saint Joe, Dan, Pete and Jah for the dedication.

Let's all help to make a better MPC Ren experience!!!

Blessings!!!


Dope Post !


Thanks !!

Cool innerchildmusic!

But what about simple stuff like a purge button for unused samples, and being able to open legacy projects?

Thanks!

Pad layer group solo/mute.


It would be nice to have the ability to group solo and mute individual layers within pads.

This way you could quickly audition different snare blends in realtime without having to turn the snare volumes down.

maan, i thought they'd clear this one up after the first update: the ability to delete (On the right side of the menu) groups of samples i don't want to have anymore. Right now you have to select each chop on the side and delete one at a time, and you also can't hear them, so if you have 32 slices you have to take care of them one by one, which is very time consuming.
