Yes but here's two minor GUI bugs.

(I've reported these to [email protected] )


In PROGRAM MODE, EDIT 2 page, LFO blocks:

you can toggle between two ways to set the LFO speed.

(i) MIDI Sync Off - speed is set by RATE parameter -
in this case, the "BEAT" parameter should be greyed out

(ii) MIDI Sync ON - speed is controlled by incoming MIDI clock,
with sub-division or multiple of this controlled by "Beat" parameter -
here, the "RATE" parameter should be greyed out.

(NB - this is effectively what happens in the AK.SYs display)




AND

In Ak.Sys,
in the Filter Env and Aux Env displays,
the "Reference" paramters are inoperative.

Nice ones.

Regarding the 'reference' line of the envs on the mpc screen. Don't you agree that they should be moved exactly the other way when the reference value field is tweaked?

to be honest, the documentation and GUI is so rubbish
that I've never really understood this feature in the first place...
