I've been a happy user of MPC Live II for some time now. I do love it and am happy with everything it can do. But I think it could be better. How to send feature requests to Akai?

So far I've got two ideas that would help me performing live and creating as well.

1. It's awesome we can map QLink knobs to any parameters, but I'd love to control several parameters with one know. Like for instance control cutoff on my low pass filter and then change delay mix at the same time. It would also be nice if we could change how it affects it, either positive or negative (like if I turn qlink up it will make delay mix less when I want to)

2. Individual length timelines. I think each track should have it's own configurable length. Currently we can make a track shorter than other tracks so it will repeat bars, but it would be nice if it wouldn't start over when we reach the first step. So each track would have it's separate length. It's kinda doable with clip program. But It's really annoying on clip program, when the longest timeline length is less than the length of my clip program then clip program will get cut off when track reach first stop.

There's probably more, like the UI could be much more intuitive, but it is getting better with the latest update, so I'm having my fingers crossed for this one.

What do you think?

We have a dedicated feature request topic, stickied at the top of this forum, Akai apparently do read it:

viewtopic.php?f=48&t=187870

But this forum isn't run nor supported by Akai, so you should send feature requests directly to Akai to be sure they see it, they have a contact form on their web site.

All of your feature requests are available in the Akai Force. It would be really nice if they added those macros and independent timelines to the MPC though.

Try setting the sequence length to 999. This is a workaround, though.

You are stuck to seq length.

Make the sequence longer, adjust other shit from there.
