Here is my Top 5:

1. Audio tracks
2. Nondestructive chopping
3 Insert FXs in Sampling Record Mode
4. One shot sample playback in Sample Trim/Edit
5. Improved data wheel utilization when editing samples (1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s, etc)

this COULD be basically the same as audio tracks (if you could record the virtual outs of the ren)

That's what the built in filters are for. Just apply them on the whole program or single pads. Easy.



This is inaccurate Acura. Filters FILTER frequencies out, meaning they cut (completely). Tench is saying he wants to add gain to the high frequencies, not completely remove gain from others.

This is a great idea btw Tommy!

side chain should be coupled with parameter modulation... meaning you could control inserts effects parameters and mpc parameters from and send signal from somehere else... So your not just limited to using comps or gates for that typical sidechain ducking sound....

like
using a sidechain signal from pad 1 to control the filter resonace of pad 2 .. or it could be linked to the pitch/tune of pad 2 first sample layer... or you could link it to the send 1 level for track 2 ..

This function is in reaper.. bascially giving you a really flexible and ulimited amount of routing freedom...

Thanks Hellfire for breaking it down. Haha I knew this would happen. Someone saying "just use the filterrrrrsssss maaannnn." I should have added that this would be *in addition* to the existing filter section in program edit.

A lot of great ideas. Keep them flowing. I lost track of how many feature suggestions from this forum have made it to an MPC Software update over the past 10 months.

I left bug fixing and improving stability off the list as those are obvious priorities.

The Step Sequencer isn't broken based upon your description. You access all the steps by using the Pad Bank buttons.
