I haven't had any issues with any of my VSTi, can you expound on this for me, please?


I wasn't able to bring up any VSTi plugins accept Analog Lab 3. Im not the only one. It doesn't accept VST3 or something like that.The software is mediocre at best. If you love its ok. But for me its trash.

Basically the Akai Developers need to Dissect DAWs like FL Studio, and mimic all of their features :nod:
They're doing it slowly. Like with that Retrospective Recording (FL been doin that)


Warp aint happening, the CPU cant handle it. And yeah nah, just because YOU think Fruity Loops is the **** doesn't mean we all need to force ourselves to work in that environment. Why not go mimic Logic or Cubase or Protools or a real DAW if you're going to go that route? Logic has been doing 'retrospective recording' for decades now. FL is still years behind all of the real DAWs.


I mentioned Better Warp in 3.0 which would be possible NEW Hardware, with a Possible better CPU!

Never Said FL was the Sh*t. Never Suggested ANYONE should be Forced to Use FL. (Pull the Tampon out! :lol: )
I apologize for not mentioning the other DAWs, being as tho i have no experience with them.

I think better warp in standalone is not possible because of cpu/ram limitations.
Usually good warps are VERY cpu hungry, look at ableton or protools ones. Your cpu bar jumps immediately.

There are very easy ways around this if done correctly. They could redesign it so if you chose the "Elastique Pro (Best Sound)" option, the audio is warped/rendered in the lower quality "MPC" setting during playback as a realtime "preview", while rendering the warped audio in high quality in the background - and fading the high quality audio back in when it's done rendering. The MPC's multi-core CPU could surely handle an operation like this in the background. Hell, Propellerhead Reason was doing this almost 10 years ago with Record. The technology is there, for sure.

Yeah but this way it becomes a bit cumbersome.
You cannot check how it sounds before printing it with the sound.
Anyway my mc101 has a very good timestretch and it sure has less power compared to Mpc.
I don't know then.

I would like things that I had in my mpc4000, Like, pitch envelopes and portamento. Also envelopes that can go plus and minus. More real-time control of samples would be also welcome. I don’t need some half arsed drum synth.
Of course disk streaming would be ace, but I think we are dreaming if we think that will happen.

:nod: :lol: Yep. One of the Reasons l got Reason. Time stretech is ridiculous. Now S1v4 is sick on the time stretech.

Mostly this + being to able to change track order.
