no doubt. i know jj wouldn't pull something out unless he needed to, i just think he made a bad choice to pull out what he did. the p.mode does something you can't do any other way (except for the tap tempo), so that functionality is lost for good.
if anything, i think p.mode should be expanded. i wish you could assign a lot of different functions to the pads: play a sequence in reverse, step a sequence forward while it's stopped, punch effects in and out, etc.
but i really don't think JJ is going to add anything else to the OS at this point. from here on it's all about the bugfixes.
anyway, i just sent him an email requesting he put p.mode back in and take out other stuff instead (splashscreens, old program mode, real-time pitch shift). i sent him the link to this thread where we discussed it: http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=80900
i'm not gonna hold my breath, but it doesn't hurt to ask. in the meantime, i'm gonna stick with 4.84.
