anyone digging the MFC42?

Yo..

If the MFC envelope can be triggerd by MIDI CC, couldn't you just enter the appropriate CC into your MPC sequence right where you need it Manually???

I know the MPC only plays and records certain types of controller data, but surely it would send that particular CC right???

I will wait for the experts on this one...Im really interested in one of these puppies so I will wait for your replys!!!

well you can do that and change most of the controls on the surface indivually -you can also record individual knob changes and position a scene change in the sequence which will change EVERY perameter on the MFC at the same time - so you could switch between different settings for intro, verse, chorus, outro etc... waht's more the way it quickly morphs between them is slick and natural - no clicking or nasty digital silences

cunning little devil it is

Wow... that Scene morphing kinda action sounds ill...

I just read the Akai website and they say you can trigger the envelope by Midi Note ON messages on a dedicated Midi channel...

Richard, Dude do you have to manually program those Scene memories into your sequences.. Do you have experience doing this on a MPC 2KXL ?? How hard is it to do..??

I know for example the Electrix Filter Queen is fully controlable by MIDI, does it have the simular scene programing functions too, cause I know the MPC only records limited Midi Data...

Im saving my money now for one of these babies...If they sound as good as people reckn'

its really easy - you either just record it in to the sequence while playing or enter the edit screen on the MPC and press + and - on the MFC and it autamatically sends the data at the beginning of the sequence. I think you can add it to an existing track on put it on its own dedicated track. Your nfo isn't quite right the electrix filter queen has no midi - the bigger unit does but I've never used it... if you've got an MPC I'd go for the MFC as it integrates really well - you really need the 8 output card to get the best out of it though as it has three inputs

To much work for me. Using existing note data would be so much easier.

I think that is a mistake. Not mentioned in the manual and there is not any method to set a certain note.
