They could make this the best MPC *instrument* ever, but if they keep moving it toward a DAW, it will just dilute the product with features and functions that DAWs have been able to for years. It just doesn't seem like a good spend of resources to me.

I understand your point of view but i still find it funny that you absolutely want the MPCR to catch up the 20 years old MPCs but you're not okay to add to the mpc software "features and functions that DAWs have been able to for years". Is the future about catching past ?
I'm talking about step by step addition. I don't think adding audio tracks, revamping the song mode and adding a mastering view would dilute the software nor the whole idea.
Look at ableton, it's a DAW but it's very different than Cubase or PT. It has its own envision and people even use it as an instrument in their liveset. Now if the MPC Software would evolve into a sort of Ableton (i mean both live and studio oriented), with its own legacy mpc workflow, wouldn't that be awesome ?
I know we're talking about major improvements here in a not-too-soon future but 1) hey, the thread is about 2.0, not 1.8 and 2) when you see what 1.7 is bringing to the table, it is realistic to think that some major features will be there for 2.0, and even before. Step by step, we'll get there, i hope.

This should also include a shift setting where you can nudge a selected range independently from the quantize down to the ppqn level. Basically taking the 4K realtime quantize 'preview' as a starting point and making it better.
2. A more powerful mod matrix with an additional LFO and routing possibilities. Anything that adds to the sound shaping abilities of samples is a good thing.
3. A full and proper vintage mode where classic samplers are modelled down to the component level. If a job's worth doing it's worth doing right.
4. Compatibility with S series sample libraries. This may or may not be in there already but it's a worthy addition. There's a vast amount of sounds out there that still sound killer today, so it'd be good if there was an option to use them painlessly.
5. More effects, filters and instruments baked into the OS. Hopefully these would include new additions and not just rehashed stuff from their sister company. Modelled classic filters would be a great starting point (Moog, MS20, Oberheim), and higher quality reverbs and delays are always good.
That'll do for now.

For example if you want to write a song using the Gypsy Scale. The user should have the ability to select "Gypsy Scale" in a drop down menu and then it'll map the scale to the pads..
So Pads 1-6 in bank C would be. C3, D3, D#3, F#3, G3, G#3.
