MPC 2.11 Firmware - Dropping 23rd June

Akai, we want this OPx4 plugin for MPC One/Live/X with the 2.11 upgrade. Please.

The fact that they left out the force arranger in the keys version (i would assume it would be perfect for a workstation concept) makes me think,it will never show up on the (smaller) MPC line

The OP4 would be a welcome addition nonetheless

[quote="MPC-Tutor"]To be fair, it is ridiculous that you can't move files around or copy/paste etc. But it does seem like they are now to prioritising 'ready-made', quick-load-make-music-fast stuff like plugin presets, expansion kits, all-singing FX plugins etc. Who needs boring old file management when all the content you end up using is there in the sounds or expansion browser? They'll remove the sampler soon, no need for sampling when you can just directly download from the inevitable 'inMusic Sounds Store' or fire up an omnisphere style rompler plugin. I'm not against offering all that stuff, especially as it's extra income (and hopefully there will be a way for third parties to get involved), but don't forget there's plenty of people who will still be using a sampler to sample and design content from scratch [/quote]

Bold Words!!!

Thank you for saying so, you're cache with the MPC community belies the very real need for these 'basic' features, for InMusic to ignore that they are actually undermining the value of the current MPC by overlooking some core file management features that have been available to some older MPC architectures since forever....

The day they'll remove the sampler is the first day I could complain about Akai. They'd be crazy to do that...

i‘ve seen someone claims to have“insight infos“ and the new instruments indeed will come to mpc in the future.But they will cost $$$ this time.

word, Tutor.
it's almost unbelieavable that we don't have a proper management of sustain loops in keygroups too. any decent multisampling full fledged sampler has it, damn, even jjos2xl on a 1000 has better sustain loops than the new modern line of mpcs! c'mon... the other thing that drives me nuts is the time signature lack in main page and the convoluted way to manage different time sigs now. bonkers. that said, i'm obviously anxiously waiting for this new release because there are a lot of interesting additions (especially probability and ratcheting). but hey akai pro... please fix the basic stuff sooner or later!

They definitely will fix that now that keyboard players will be chiming.

Exactly. And Fabric XL.

I'll give you a big hint, the DX7 also has OPx4..

Ah some 4 operators FM goodness, I'm down for that too.

"Immerse yourself in a world of sound engines ranging from deep FM Synthesis with OPx4, to rich and elegant instruments including Stage Piano, Stage EP, Session Strings, and Organ. The powerhouse synth Fabric XL also delivers everything from drone-basses to lush and deep atmospheric pads taking your music creation to another dimension."

Just a guess, but I cant think of anything else that OP4 might be, and there was talk of an FM synth when they first showed off all the new plugins (before 2.9 or 2.10??).

so, fabric (xl and the other sub brands) looks like a rompler "omnisphere" type synth?
