Just a thought

Caustic Yoda wrote:the parameter locks are the biggest thing to me, on any step/note of the sequence you can lock any parameter eg the filter, the playback postition of the sample, the sample can be switched, any apect you can think of can be locked to a step but play freely the rest of the time, so even if limited track number a track can play back a different slice or sample for each note, thats best way i can describe it, also for each note you can set a percentage chance of note being triggered or a 1/4 (happens on 1st trigger but not 2,3,4) this is just the tip of the iceberg things i would like to see akai ad to the mpc sampler, makes a 4 bar loop have unlimited variations

Caustic Yoda wrote:Yep any of the controls, filters, fx sends, playback rate or direction can be locked per note/step, the lfos can also be assigned to anything to modulate anything, even which sample is playing in that slot
