Forum to discuss all matters relating to the MPC1000 and MPC2500 operating systems created by 'JJ' (all versions).

Here's a feature that can only be found on super top-notch boutique hardware sequencers like my state of the art Alesis MMT-8.

Ready?

QUANTIZE NOTE OFF
or in Akai terms:
TIMING CORRECT NOTE OFF

Although this is for now only for those who are highly trained in cutting edge MIDI processing technology, I believe it could be incorporated into more exotic future MPCs.

I have 2 hopes for a future JJ os...

1. a pop-out ash tray would be nice.

2. Mind recognition... so I can just think beats... that would really streamline my work flow.

Ok here's what I'd like to see in my dream MPC.

1.) Detachable mini keyboard

2.) Full fledge sampler/synth engine.

3.) Vga support

4.) Bigger LCD screen with a brighter backlight and flip screen.

5.) Video output for external monitor

6.) Driver support for external 8x8 MIDI interface

7.) CD DVD/RW drive

8.) Support for 200GB or larger hard drive.

9.) More assignable controllers

10.) Full and complete MIDI implementation

11.) Hard disk recording & track editing like on the fantom X

12.) 2 Firewire (host & slave) and 2 USB (host & slave) ports


Although the MPC 1000 will never see these features, if you do make a MPC 5000 Akai, Please make it like this!!!!!!!

another vote here for synth capability - this would be great

class-compliant midi over USB

some form of prompt-to-save that triggers AFTER you have hit the power off button

^^^ instead of this, just an auto save that saves every however many (user specified) minutes. To be used for recovery in case of a power failure, or if you acidentally pull the power lead out the back (like I have). This actually isn't so far fetch and could probably be fairly well implemented.

a realistic emulation of 'scratching' samples using the data wheel...

i could go on :)


nice one,

it would be cool to have the sequencer playback pitch using your idea for the scrachting datawheel, manipulate your whole mpc like a turntable. i doubt it would be too difficult, not much more than a digital delay algorithm.

^^^ Yo man thats heaps different to a digital delay algorithm. However, now that we can realtime pitchshift the input, it should be possible by means of using this.

i would suggest trying to steer away from using the data wheel for any purpose other than a "mouse" selection type tool, as it's pretty fragile and scratching motions could wear it down REALLY fast.

By sleepersriddle Fri Nov 24, 2006 11:27 pm
yeah it was supposed to be unrealistic.

that's why i felt free to ask for 'real analog filters' as well :) obviously not possible.



on the other hand.... i am practically putting money aside for the first company that makes an mpc/cdj hybrid:: basically a sampler with a built -in vinyl simulation wheel, where you could 'scratch' realistically on any sample, as well as playing the samples back mpc style or chromatically (and scratch at different pitches using a '16 levels' type idea.)

oh wow, i totally forgot this is the "unrealistic" thread.

i like your mpc cdjay idea though.

By moorekv Sat Nov 25, 2006 4:13 am
As a matter of fact, there a sampler that exist which consists of CD DJ-like scratching features.......The Roland DJ70. Although it's a small compact keyboard sampler with a scratch pad that has been long discontinued, I'd like to see this scratching idea implemented in an MPC myself. Marvalous idea!!!!

bluetooth support for typing keyboards, transfering files.
