I was thinkin' about a new os specifically made for live setup, whitout all the sampling features, that would turn the mpc2500 into a loop machine.
Just audition a loop while the sound is playing, load it, have it timestretched AUTOMATICALLY, assign it to a pad and start playin'it.
Having the stereo out act as a cue, the qlink sliders working just like a dj mixer, crossfading loops/scenes, using it as a transformer (each time cursor goes down the audio shut, each time it goes up audio plays back) and so on..
Dunno if it could be done, but would definitely be usefull!

Also think about splitting the JJos in two parts, so I could advance editing my samples in "JJsampleOS", flash in "JJsequencerOS" and program my music in a more confortable environment, getting 'round the memory size limitations the hardware is givin'us.. For sure it would have a bit of a complex workflow, but an interesting option to evaluate..

nice beats to everybody

Nice. Pity the code isn't open source. If it was I would learn programming from scratch just to do this.

A laptop with ableton live... and a good midi controller can do even more then the os u dreaming of. (for live gigs)

For sure: just add Reason 4 and you'll have THE cake.. But I like mpc and it would be great to have it exploitable in many ways: that would be one of my favourites..

..the second would be use it as an abat-jour, with qlinks to dim the light :-)

I use my mpc as a midi controller/ sequencer with ableton and still know how useful a live mpc os will be.
