I requested what would be an amazing feature for the MPC 'Official R-Mix Song mode to replace Next Sequence - Feature'
viewtopic.php?f=45&t=169650 A major part of this Song mode is its ability to actively record live performance. In the video above, we see the user triggering differing tracks and scenes to help us hear how his song should play out.
With R-Mix, the MPC would be recording everything he triggered, and every change he made during that video; turning it into a linear "Song track" which of course plays back exactly as heard.
This mode would also provide the ability to play in Riffs and Solo's to exclusive tracks which are also linear. This mode would add a Sequence/Track 'Retrigger' capability to the MPC which does not appear to exist currently.
Recording these motions as linear tracks, along with the ability to 'Stop' a Track by hitting the pad that started it once again, would create an amazing way to capture the intended 'feel' of a performance! On top of this, these tracks would remain editable, just as midi would.
This should be the Song mode that the MPC touts, this would make the system even more of a legend than it already is!
I want to know if the addition of the 'Phrase Program' is their attempt toward fulfilling this request; are our actions/its activities recordable with this inside 2.0?
Will this allow us to do a complete Live Performance while the software activity records it and have the MPC linearly play it back just the way we hear it performed; from start to finish?
Also will that recorded performance be editable like midi data? Are they attempting to create this R-Mix song mode using a linear automation track capturing every event from what we've tracked out using Pad Mode as well as the Phrase Program; similar to what Cakewalk did with Kinetic 2.0 (as seen in my original feature request)?
If not an automation track, is it traditional linear midi they're shooting for?
Will it be recording Live Midi Tracks linearly with Pad Mode active, so that we can create solo more elaborate performances with instruments we have included in the project?
Please find out if that's what's happening here!
