MPC Software 2.0 what has changed in the software for DAWS?

I'm not interested in new hardware at the moment although it looks cool, I'm mainly interested in the software, and what changes have been made to 2.0.

This is especially a concern for us DAW + Mpc users as 1.0 -1.9 has been a let down imo for DAW workflow usage.



1. MIX Templates - Can we now finally setup MIX templates where we can freely exchange different programs to different Mixer settings and swap programs without changing mixer settings as we wish?


2. Does this MPC Software 2.0 Browser allow users to TAG and SEARCH by TAGS?

3. What changes are made for DAW + MPC software? Eg: Qwerty Keyboard in daw not being able to control mpc software browser currently . Not all daws allow for drag n drop from Mpc pads or from their browsers.. Has this been changed YET???

4. Can the Mpc 2.0 software now send midi out from pads to daws without having to be in the midi mode?

5. What changes have they made for drag n drop audio in daws?


I also asked these questions for St.Joe as he goes to Namm to face Akai.

In the meantime, DAN or any other Akai rep, or beta tester or anyone else who would know,here's what a large group of DAW users are interested in as a collection of thoughts and questions or requests have been over these last past 4-5 years.
