Akai MPC 2500 DJ MODE

This idea came to me the other night while i was DJing with MPC. I came up with an idea called 'DJ mode'

DJ mode on the MPC 2500 would give you the following...

1. Q-Link slider 1 becomes pitch shift: in the centre position, there is no shift. Moving the slider up or down creates a real time sample playaback shift of up to +/- 6% (this is inline with the resolution of technics 8% with larger faders)

2. Q-Link slider 2 becomes speed shift. Working in the same way as above, this operates in a varispeeed type of way.

3. Pads become triggers for record 'crate', a directory on the HD

4. MPC 2500 can operate in twin, triple or even quad mode, allowing for the separete outputs to represent virtual recorddecks. This way, it would be possible to do 4 (or even 5?) deck mixing on ONE MPC!

Any other ideas?

amn dude....that would be some crazy ish. Ive been dj'ing for a good amount of time now, I would start taking the 2500 to GIGs with me. Even though my Serato could do most of these features for me right now...

I wouldnt count on those features for a live set, not on a 2500.

Numark would have to make it totally glitch free for it to work out, and i doubt that will ever happen.

Not a bad idea though, but too good for Numark to take on.
