Now everybody wants a new OS for their MPC

Not strictly relevant I know, but still interesting:

This chap has created an unnoficial OS for the MPC3000. His has fully-working Space Invaders*

* I made up the Space Invaders bit.

you're a funny guy

congrats to Rohan for actually trying and succeeding to progress these machines...I'm anxiously waiting for the 60 OS

He's doing a 60 OS???? Or somebody is?

speculating or confirmed?

This is interesting indeed. But how would Akai feel about this?


Akai, COME ON OUT!

ehh, well you have to figure that it is kind of the same OS and that it shouldn't take tooooo much to take the new 3K OS and adapt it for a 60

Can we get that OS for the 60. Make the damn 60 read wav files.

i hope it's possible. 3.1 for 60 has some quirkiness. on the 3k, i can pitch a sample down in the sample edit screen and pitch down even further by 16 levels, but on 60, it bottoms out and 16 level becomes pretty much useless. since sample space is a problem for 60, its crucial to sample at 45 +8.. another thing i noticed was, when sampling, on the 3k, even if you dont rename and keep the new sample, it;s automatically given a number and held in the memory, but on 60, you have to keep and rename before you leave the sample page. also, on 3k, you never have to press enter, after inputting numbers or letters. you just press 'doit' or whatever they ask you and youre set. but on the 60, you always have to press enter before pressing 'doit'. alot of redundancy. theyre minor things, but every extra button push slows you down. 60 sounds good and pads feel more responsive, but 3k flows much better.
