I just noticed by chance that randomizing the pan of a pad with a mono file now works! (It didn't have any effect in MPC 2. You had to convert the files to stereo.)

This is a beta and I'm sure they will address this in the final version, it's too important to drop.

I really hope you're right but Maschine has been out for what? 15 years now, and it still only does one time signature at a time. It can respond to your host DAW sending various time signatures but it cannot implement it in its own song window or individual tracks. I mean its biggest direct competition is a single signature only machine.

I was hoping for at least the controller software MPC level of integration, because it's always been a PITA in stand alone, and it's a crap shoot if we get it at all. I hope you're right, but this potentially is a deal breaker for me.

4/4 only must be a joke. Hardly any of my tracks ever were in 4/4.

I guess I'll get a some glue tomorrow and seal the ethernet port. :hdmi:

I feel like we need an official word on this, like we got with Track Mutes. I had a really bad feeling about this when I commented on multiple youtube videos of influencers about if time signatures had improved in stand alone, and got silence.

Errr.. what warning ?!
I can find no sample clip program option.
I loved triggering sample clips on tempo, mangling them with pitch/warp, etc.
WTF happened ... :?

AKAI removed it, probably to make it Force exclusive. No easy and flexible way to do audio sample latching now too. Unfortunately the SP404MKII doesn't do quantized launching so it's no alternative.

Just loaded up YA Mastering Template on the new MPC 3 beta and so far so good.Everything seems to be working properly except my Audio Input assignments and my external controllers custom mappings.
So you’re good to go..
Time to keep it rolling!I’ll be working on the new YA version 3 update which will include a special DJ template for any DJ out there (myself included) who wants to take it for a spin :P
Cheers!
