Re: Suggestions for 1.5...

Lots of nice requests, this is my reality check, i mean these are the missing features which i struggle most and i cant figure out a workaround.

I know all this features have been discussed to death, but you know at akai they must be deaf from one ear...so im going to say it again.

1 - MULTI-CORE standalone and plug-in mode

2 - 32 STEREO OUTPUTS plug-in mode (for instance battery 4 got the same amount)

3 - REWIRE AUDIO AND MIDI (standalone mode, at least 32 channel each)

Like i said before i would like to see other implementations as well, but the listed above should be the priority for having a complete and comprenhensive tool/product.

It would be lovely if we could have a kind of LocalOff when using as PlugIn

This would allow use to sequence Drum Programs while using the DAWs Piano-roll much more easier. This would give us best of both worlds and the MPC would behave like a "Hardware Plugin"
IMO Using a Sequencer in a Sequencer is strange no ?

It would be also nice If we would have some control over the Pad Note Mapping.

eg:

Pad A1 = C1
Pad A2 = C#1
...

I know that you can change it by modifying the Program manually but thats kind of a hack huh.
Currently it is some kind of random.
Is there actually any special system behind the mapping ?

..

Another Suggestion:
please disable(or make it switchable) audition when moving notes, its so annoying.

1. There are no other VST instruments that are also sequencers in their own right on the market?

2. Special mapping? I was under the assumption it was mapped in General MIDI format. Is this incorrect?

Geist, Maschine are Sequences either.

Ok that sounds logically, so when you map you one shots you simply have to know which pad corresponds to its GM Drum equivalent.

Here is the GM Drum Mapping:

Herer is the Default MPC Note Layout:

Code: Select all

      <PadNote number="1">

Just to reiterate. FX Automation is a must. Especially for us who plan on taking the MPC Ren live.

I'd love to see the peak indicators in hardware and software to be reset together instead of having to click in the software and press reset on the Ren.

Yay, first album: 83 - Mad Scientist

Exactly. But you implied that using a sequencer within a sequencer is strange....

It needs to run smooth without any bugs because I have to waait for update 1.6 for you to fix what you did not get right in 1.4 and 1.5. I am still using 1.3.1 because it has all kinds of glitches going on. I use my mpc 1000 to control my digi 003 - Pro tools 10.3.7 for song creation and seq purposes. My MPC Ren will not let me use my midi out to control my DIGI 003 interface for instrument tracks like I can with a standalone MPC2000xl and MPC1000 in which I also own and cant get rid of because of this. :WTF:

There are no bugs in this regard. It appears you don't understand how to set-up the Ren/MPC Software to accomplish this task. Click my link below for You Tube video which should help you.

Also watch all the Akai official tutorial videos as well as the tutorials/videos from Noterepeat.com.

the sad thing is that some of these overdue fixes are things any developer could program within a single day of work.

Tempo automation, remapping pad midi number assignments, loop option in song mode, open option in file menu.
