Thoughts on 1.4 so far

Great so far but obviously I haven't gotten into a big project yet.

Things I've noticed that were not mentioned in the Release Notes:

1) The program seems to start a lot faster and is just snappier in general (might have been mentioned in some form).

2) All of the edit screens on the hardware now show the current value of every parameter rather than having to touch the knob to see what it is (much cooler than it sounds)

3) The filter stepping seems quite possible non-existent! I'm sure you saw my video and rants about this... time to make some keygroup programs!

4) When selecting a plugin on the hardware it actually tells you if it's a VST or and AU.

Other things I really like so far:

The track view is very much improved and you can actually see the individual notes much better. I guess they outlined them which helps them to stand out much better.

Being able to select over multiple tracks is Awesome! Editing will be so much easier now.

No crashes yet...

This is after about 30 minutes of setup and just messing around.
I'll post back when I find more stuff.

Nice, nice. Wish I didn't have to to get mine fixed.

Excited to try 1.4

I was a little confused by the folder location setting. I thought that they meant hold shift on the controller. They mean hold shift on the keyboard and click the folder with your mouse

Just incase anybody else is confused by that

much improved this where we should have started from

anyway

drop and drag while playing yes
ad envelope yes
editing on hardware oh yes

enjoying so far so dope

I feel like there's some latency in this one. Anyone else getting that?

It's very slight.

:Sigallh: lol to all the mpc heads who wanted 64 bit real bad and only have 32bit plugins. I lol at you five times.

Omg I can't freakin wait

Being able to move around program edit with the four way cursor and change the values with the knob instead of always using the qlinks is really nice especially for the mpc studio

No he means that people don't own 64bit plugins to put in their now 64bit MPC software. Fortunately with Mac 32bit and 64bit are in the same plugin, no need to install separate plugins

Ah, confusing. Luckly I was the other way around. All my software and all my plugins were 64bit. :O)

This is what we've been saying all along! Multicore is more important!

+1

64bit is nice too though

If I had to choose between 64 bit and multicore....I would choose 64 bit first. Why? Because I have been running out of Ram even before I maxed out 1 core while using the 32 bit MPC software.

But let the count down begin....which company will add multicore support first....NI or Akai?
