i.e. features that work with the sequencer running so you'd never have to stop that flow to edit a beat:

- realtime data editing
Moving notes in time, processing of pitch / velocity / whatever adjustments.
Timing correction monitoring after recording without stopping the sequencer (overdub instead of stop), etc.. etc...

This would enable us to fine-tune grooves while listening. All energy still in the room... wouldn't that be a bliss. With more realtime functions the MPC would become much more of a musical instrument than it currently is.

- copy & change sequences while recording so with the push of one softbutton sequence1 is copied to sequence2 and the MPC automatically jumps to sequece2 so you can record more lines on top; building your sequences / song on the fly or during a live performance.

- I know we can think of a lot more functions that would benefit from a real-time makeover


dope stuff ... all of this is very high in my wishlist too ... :lol:

Sean never said Akaipro would charge for updates.

You should have asked Akai if they have any OS updates planned instead of asking if they was gonna charge for em..

Easy there buddy, hehe, think about that blood-pressure. How can you get THAT upset by my post? Your post kinda sounded like you misunderstood Sean's post and I was just trying to clarify it, incase you or someone else didnt really get it.

I could scream names on the internet for no reason too, but shit, why get heated like that? Especially when it wasnt really meant in a bad way?

Chill out son

Id pay for this: instead of 16 levels only usable on one sample, id like 8 levels for two samples(spread across all 16 pads accessable simultaniously) or 4 levels for 4 samples on 4 pads each...

This would make for some great sounding drumming, I have wished for this since the 2000xl.

Hmm. Im a bit lost in this topic.. Is there going to be an update or not? Free or not free, I dont care.. as long as I see my baby been updated :wink:
It seems like there is a war going on in the 4000 section. Can someone explain these fights? Why do people fight with their pc keyboard and fingers?

I'd probably pay for an OS update, if Mr Roger Linn wrote it - I could imagine a fresh eye could really make a big difference to the 4k

like many, individual track lengths and the possibility of streaming from disc would make the biggest difference to my workflow. I am surprised Akai never thought to develop the midi processing side more with harmonisers, arpeggiators etc the 4k could really be a lot more than it is at the moment.

WOW! I guess you just want drama huh?
Dont forget to take those meds you clearly need man.

Half of your post doesnt even have anything to do with what I said
I could yell **** this and **** you that and make no sense either but I dont go out like that.

You're the one at war here, not me.

Mofos don`t listen and appreciate sh*t coming out with you shoulda, woulda, coulda sh*t. I had to check your English genius cuz you should have done it your damn self I did others a favor by posting.


Akai isn`t going to charge for updates.


If you have a hair up your ass about when the next ones coming out contact them your damn self. **** I dont need YOU, telling me what the f*ck to do n***a. You shoulda wrote Akai and check the **** yourself muth****r. Think about mofos running around fu*k up about being charge for free service, listening to innuendo, discontent with their struggles with the 4k and a simple head like you want to confuse mofos on purpose to continue a false reports.

I understood the first words Sean W. said which is why I said I would check it out and since Sean is experienced with the 4k what are his plans for it. Never assume Kaballs it makes an idiot out of you.

Classic Republician tactics drum up audience support by scaring them into buying whatever they are selling. I want to know whats being produced, marketed and sold that is all? I would buy it if it is something I can`t or will never get from Akai plain and simple.

It`s called reading between the lines.


Now next time you can check out, contact, or question directly from the source birdbrain aka son by your damn self.

he he You should have read the post and thought first before you shot off your mouth like an idiot.


Chill out dawg.


Whoa.
