So far nothing if you mean the VSTi of MPC you could load into other DAWs etc. This makes sense, because if the MPC can only do one time signature at at time, it's going to be a mess making it work as a VSTi what with it's internal sequencer rewriting itself every time you change signature in the DAW. I dealt with that nonsense with Maschine...

I guess he meant on Desktop?

cause AKAI will never allow the installation of random VST that could compete with their own offering in Standalone, because they wouldn't get a dime from other vendors. On the other hand they are already working with third party devs like NI, but you still have to buy these plugins from AKAI.

I'd like AKAI to sell the sequencing pro pack functions separately , instead of bundling them with plugins, at a much lower cost of course. I don't care about the pro reverb or Fabric select or even the graphic eq... I just want to the clip launching. (edit: AKAI even sells the "pro pack" to the Force owners... at the same price... but the Force already has everything in the "pro pack" save from the plugins?).

Did somebody on youtube compare the newer timestretching function with the older one? Is significantly better?

Finally AKAI, please add a decay/release parameter to patch phrases to avoid clicks, even if it's just global to a phrase. Because to this day, patched phrase often produces unwanted clicks in practice.

Tefty compared it with a drum kit loop and it was a big improvement.

The trick is to buy it as a gift to yourself. You need to use a different email address as the buyer, and then put your InMusic email as the gift receiver.

Is the best way to submit feature requests to Akai by opening a support ticket?

Per sequence program changes and time signatures /sequence are still stopping me upgrading to 3 but some of the other features look great!

Don't get your hopes up, it took over year to implement time sigs per project, so jan-feb 2027 earliest..

Or earlier, or later, or never.

At some point it would be good to get some info from Akai what the plan is there, if anything.

Is there a 10 day trial for the pro pack ?
I know there is for the plugins but what about the functions?

I thought Bolo said this was fixed.

If you've got the Pro Pack and your at main screen and you find that your transport controls such as "PLAY" & "PLAY START" only respond to Clip mode and you want to go back to Arranger mode hit "shift" and on screen you will see the option to switch back.

That's perfect timing- mpc 3.0 will be super stable by then and the live 3 will be about £700!

Anyone? No way to test the clip launcher before buying?
