& so are the filters in the Drum Program.

Agree. I use those until I actually NEED to use an efx slot.

Well, you do have efx slots. You can do it. It might not “look” like or be presented/accessed the way you want, but, you can.

I wish we could use 2 filters on the same pad like in the JJOS - that would be great for sound shaping.


You could duplicate Pad, A01 A02 with two different filters. And have A01 trigger A02

You have access to HP and LP in the drum efx section.

I know about that but, its not as convenient as having 2 filters built-in for each pad, especially when all the pads in the program have a different sample on them & each may have/need different filter setting. So that trick wouldn't work in that case.

But I really would like more LFO's, I think that's what holding these device back as a sound designer. Imagine if we had like on the HydraSynth 5 LFO's that can be put into 1 shot mode so it acts like an envelope & 5 envelopes that can be looped so it acts like an LFO, plus a better MOD Matrix...INSANE!

Hopefully this is where the new MPC OS will offer major improvements :idea:

If that never happen then why are you surprised? & to some, there's no good discussion without some back & forth over something that may important to them but not for you & that's OK, plus what you call "nothing serious" is subjective.
Also the funny thing about comments like your is that it can actually create back & forth over nothing serious & usually over something that wasn't even a serious back & forth :roll:

We've been asking for this for a few years now.. We're still hoping, but Akai doesn't look like they have any plans to update the sampler. It took a couple years before we finally got the token pitch envelope and the ability to change the envelope curves, that was just barely added in 2.10.. There was apparently a button in the MPC Software to set the LFO to free running too, but it doesn't work, and there's no sign of this coming to the hardware either. It took a couple of updates for portamento to even work. Had the controls first, function came later, probably after they finally figured out how to hack it into the code.
