Just some small (?) feature I'd love to see implemented in next JJ release..

- when you are in MODE+PAD [11] and while in 16 LEVELS mode it would be nice to have the cursor NOT moving between the sounds assigned to relative pads, but instead having it still on the actual sound assigned to 16 LEVELS: I use a lot the 16 TUNINGS feature, and many times I get wrong while changing the parameters of the sound I spanned..

- making groups of pads so I could change the e.g. VOLUME of many samples at the same time: when I make complex beats or I chop to many pads sounds from the same source (when I rearrange portions of a big sample) I have to modify each volume in MIXER mode, and it is usually apaininthearse :)

- when adding bars to a sequence I'd like the option to not have just blank bars, but have copied what's in the first bars: e.g. make a 2 bar sequence with BD, SD and HH, wanna make it a 4 bars to add a small variation, so I add 2 bars and the content of bars 1 & 2 is copied on bars 3 & 4.

doable. in GPE, go to OUT and hit WHOLE over LEVEL to control mixer levels OR

also in GPE, in the SAMPLE page hit window over the pad number (ie Ao1) and then go to the sample level. you can hit WHOLE there too to seize groups.

This would be definitely a great help, cause the way I use the mpc is like one part for kick one part for HH one part for persussion one for crash...
When building patterns/ beat I start with a loop of maybe one or two bar building five or more tracks. Later on the loop is made wider and it would be very helpfull if there were an option instead of adding blank space to copy the content of the original part length to the the new emty space.

This would be a good feature.

wheres the problem to go to seq edit and copy bar 1-2 after bar 2 ?

not properly "a problem": simply a commodity to have ALL the tracks prolonged with just the modification of the sequece lenght..[quote][/quote]

Just another feature that I'd love to have is the 16 levels also in trim mode: I use a lot the 16tunings to "play" small samples, even while in CHOP mode. Any idea is welcome!

Song mode :
01- sequence01 repeat:2 bars:2 total:4
then convert

if you have a 8bar loop and want to add 4 bars just copy the sequence
to seq2 and shorten it to 4 bars in the main screen.
then to songmode again:
01 seq1 r:1 b:8 t:8
02 seq2 r:1 b:4 t:12
and convert.

i really don´t understand you, what´s with this:

1. you have the 2bar loop
2. press mode+p13 (seqedit)
3. press f2 (bars)
4. copy from sq:1 first bar:1 last bar:2 to sq:1 after bar:2 copies:1
5. press do it

Done, on main screen you see Bars:4 ,hey it´s a 4bar loop with content bar1+2 copied to bar 3+4 and you didn´t even touched the wheel to increase
bars or went to song mode
