Exactly!!!!!

To Me The MPC IS A Drum Synth lol


Then you have no clue what a synthesizer is or what it means :hmmm:

EDIT: wait a sec. Portamento/Glide would be rad so I could use it on MPC programs. My Emu and Bass Station both have it though and one of those is handling bass duties usually, and when it gets here the TD-3 will be doing it in its own sequencer..


Which samplers are you comparing it to?


That big picture over to the right. Cant miss it its right in the center. If that thing had the MPCs sequencer.. **** a..

A SYNTHESIZER is an electronic musical instrument that generates audio signals. Synthesizers generate audio through methods including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, and frequency modulation synthesis.

"Subtractive synthesis" is a method of sound synthesis in which partials of an audio signal (often one rich in harmonics) are attenuated by a filter to alter the timbre of the sound....POSSIBLE

"Additive synthesis" is a sound synthesis technique that creates timbre by adding sine waves together...POSSIBLE

"Frequency modulation synthesis" is a form of sound synthesis whereby the frequency of a waveform is changed by modulating its frequency with a modulator....POSSIBLE

I May Be Wrong Tho :lol: :lol:

I think some users want something "Instant". Presets of a Drum Synth, Instrument, to choose from.
Not the, Having to actually tweak the settings we already have!

So I apologize...

I def agree. I would like to see the sampler expanded upon. For me, would like to see more of a Digitakt-esque sampling workflow. Being able to start recording on quantized beat and end recording on quantized beat while viewing the incoming waveform would make a huge difference.

For a change in requests ( I have never heard anyone complain about this) I would love to see more UNDO steps. I mean, why do we only get one UNDO step? it really limits the creativity when you have to be worrying that you may go too far and not be able to get back say 5 steps at least.

Disc streaming def a huge one for me.

Also the ability to better incorporate hardware processors into the audio chain. It currently doesn;t feel right to send out and bring back audio through external compressors, eq's , etc. Even to use guitar pedals for effects feels wrong. I have to lower the level going out A TON and even then it is prone to clipping very easily (unless of course I am doing it wrong).

We already have way more than 1 Undo step, the screen won't follow all the steps backwards. I'd like to see Undo working on most/all of the basic functions, like transpose from the Main page.

Yup, and the MPC doesn't generate audio, you have to put the audio in yourself. Totally different :smoker:

My Point Exactly....

Pre-Made Sounds is what people want :lol:

Not The Capability of a Synthesizer

Oh you called me a young man, you charmer! :D

Ontopic: Track mute for audiotracks would be +++ for me too. But I think it's a though one to implement..

So how do I undo more than one step. For example if I'm editing a sample (a lengthy one) and decide to do a fade in and then a fade out, I can ONLY undo the fade out. How would you undo the fade I'm talking about standalone FYI. Pressing undo multiple times doesn't affect beyond the very last step for me. More than happy to learn something here

Maybe it depends on what mode you're in? I hit undo a shitload of times in a row and roll a bunch of stuff back in grid mode, main mode, list mode, etc all the time.. Just the other night, plopped some notes down in the grid, went and moved some faders or something afterwards.. Wanted to undo the notes I pasted, had to hit undo like 4 times before it finally got back to that step in the list. Have no clue what I wiped out on the way back to it though hah.
