Thanks for the education and advice Metatron. I really appreciate it. What I want to do is to make Logic the master and REN the slave. I just want to be able to, via MIDI, open REN as a VST/ AU inside of Logic, assign internal REN sounds to REN pads inside of REN VST, start record on Logic's sequencer, hit the REN's pads, have the REN's MIDI out data recorded into Logic's sequencer, stop Logic's sequencer, Return to beginning of sequence via Logic's sequencer, hit play on Logic's sequencer and have Logic play back the sequence I just recorded with REN's internal sounds.
I hope that I don't come off as a smart a$$, and I truly love my REN period. It's just that this functionality seems so second nature with today's technologically advanced DAW's, plugins and their respective architectures, that I'm just absolutely and utterly baffled as to why this either can't be figured out with the REN or the functionality was intentionally left out of the REN. If the REN was never designed to be a DAW as some here believe, then why cripple it's ability (it has MIDI ins & outs) to be fully MIDI integrated into a DAW? I understand that REN integrates better via MIDI into PT than Logic but so ******* what? I prefer Logic.
(whew) End of rant.
Pete, if you ever read this, I want to personally thank you for all of the dedication and hard work you've put into 1.4 and making the REN my most beloved piece of gear, seriously. I know you are hard at work making it even better. At some point, would you please address the REN's MIDI implementation into Logic? Again, thanks Pete and be Blessed!
Yesssss.......

Well, I posted this in another thread at Akai,
I would like to request an extremely basic requests for 1.5 and/or 1.4.1 PLEASE even.
1. Naming tracks from the MPC Ren. When trying to name a track, it skips right pass it. Use to do this all the time in the MPC3000. Of course I can name each track on the software but, doing it as I go/work from the Ren is so or would be so much better.
2. When saving a song, does everything have to stop for it to save? While saving, can it save in the background while you still work? Reason being, I use about 33 different Program sets that I work from so I can have all my sounds ready to go, with different styles for different songs. When saving, it takes forever, everything stops, can't continue to work as I have to wait til it finishes and that becomes extremely frustrating.
3. When scrolling through sounds from the MPC plugins, do I have to hit select to hear the sound every time. Can it be when I turn the data knob or use the cursor to scroll down, that it changes the sound automatically?
Honestly, who beta test this stuff? The average MPC3000 user would notice these things in 1.1 version. Some of hese things are so MPC!
Do I have to look and use the software. Can't wait to be able to do everything from the Hardware.

Marc I agree ,I have submitted these request ages ago. As a Beta Tester we get it .we got all of you guys back!...believe that!.....but WE DONT HAVE CONTROL OF WHAT FEATURES GET ADDED!!!!!!peace
