Firmware 2.9. hints

Hi,
on the guitarguitar website are hints for the 2.9. firmware which will include the Drum synth.
I am possible in the minority, but I am definitely looking forward to that feature

Here is the link
https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/ ... onal-mpc-x

All the information was found on the mpc live thread on GS

Good news.

just saw that the section regarding fw 2.9. has been deleted on that page..I made a screenshot of that, is that cool if I upload it here (@admin)?

Any idea of when the update will drop? Maybe next year?

You can still preview the content of the deleted section here:

Probably very soon, like this week or next, if dealers are already getting the press info on it.

Yay a drum synth, for my drum sampler. I really hope AIR made it too, so its boring and generic as **** like their other three synths. Maybe its got a new feature in it where everytime you do something, Andy's voice pops out and reminds you to QWAANTIZE THAT PRESET NAME MATE!!

I agree. The description on the website is very detailed and ready for publication.

was really hoping for that timeline by now...
i guess a drum synth is nice too.

I hope the 2.9 containes others improvements than the drum synth, useless for me.

Always interested in more sound options but did they address any of the bugs? Tbh I care more about that.

I am secretly hoping for the same arranger like on the Force.....

Oh, who'd have thunk it, another 'accidental' leak from a retailer.

Drum synth works for me!

That said, I'd love some sort of granular plug in or granular options added to the sample play back.

There is a pretty nice YouTube video about how to do this in the mpc. Think if you search it you'll find it.

That’s great to hear! I’ve been wanting the Drum Synth for a long time! Hopefully they’ll also fix the bugs that were in the 2.8 firmware.
