JJ OS V2 - Feature Requests

New Timing Correct / Step Size options:

* 1/128 and 1/192 timing
1/4, 1/4TRPLT, 1/64, 1/64TRPLT timing


*Make swing available for 1/4, 1/4TRPLT, 1/8, 1/8TRPLT, 1/16, 1/16TRPLT, 1/32, 1/32TRPLT, 1/64, 1/64TRPLT.

make everything to do with timing, swing and note position fully adjustable in realtime in both playback and record via qlink and midi cc

the clock will be running even when the sequence is stopped. this will improve the functionality with external devices that are synced to the MPC's clock. If the clock was always running, there would be need for the external device to 'catch up' to the MPC's clock upon the sequence play, and would always be perfectly synced.

I want this feature added, badly...

edit: Another plus to having a constantly running MIDI clock is if you're using any external synth that uses sync'd LFO's, that crap sucks when you're trying to write a synth patch and you can only hear what it's supposed to sound like if the MPC is playing, I don't like that at all.

That, and my ol'standby request...for the simult pad function to send out to external MIDI devices, so I could trigger chords from external synths by hitting 1 pad on an MPC

thats sounds good, can we have this and also the ability to filter incoming and outgoing notes to resolve only to your pre-chosen major/minor scales etc so that you can bash out any random order and sound like a virtuoso - much like ableton and sonar allow - thanks

Now that would be hard!

I like this, and add it onto the idea of setting up pads in chromatic order. We should have some sort of menu that we can pick from in program edit.

Chromatic / Scale (pick a scale) / GM Layout (which is the default right now)

yes, good stuff. i always thought that "16 levels" should be a bit more advanced - i think it should take any sample, give it a mod point root that is central to the 4 pad banks and allow the pad bank buttons a-d to act as virtual transpose keys, giving an equal range up or down for the sample with 64 levels/pitches etc

user-definable (or at least option-selectable) variations would be superb. we could get into all that tempered tuning stuff that kurzweil owners always drone (no pun intended) on about...

at this point, i think you can just safely turn TC off and operate off your own timing

unless you want 1/192 hi hats.lol. set a new trend for dirty south style robotic programming.

cosign. this would open up a lot of posiibilities for live jamming.

another request: if there is one effect i would like to see added to the mpc it would be a gate with sidechain ability. i'm surprised this isn't on the mpc already because it is such a basic effect used for rhythmic stuff.

to get it to work with a sidechain would be tricky, but one way it could work would be if it took up both effect slots at the same time. this way, any sound routed to 'fx 1 ' would gate whatever was routed to 'fx 2'. you could set the threshold, attack, release, and amount of the gate. you could also load a version that was just gate-only without the sidechain and then it would only take one effect slot.

i really think this is something that jj could code up without too much trouble since it's not that complicated. the effect just raises & lowers the volume of whatever is going thru it. you can really do a lot of different stuff with gates so it would be great to see one in the mpc.

as recycle : the slices+midi file

Actually, since the clock pulse is separate from the Stop/Start commands, that's not what would happen.

The DSI Evolver works this way. Clock is sent constantly in the "out" mode but none of the external devices stop or start until you press the button on the DSI.

Sometimes that feature is annoying, other times it's good to have. One of my older groovebox devices actually has to have a clock signal present at all times when in external mode or many of the functions won't even work.

you learn something new every day, thanks

Various programs to be triggered simultaniously via MIDI using MIDI bank data or MIDI channels.

blinky, just so you know, what you're asking for is called "multitimbrality" unless i'm completely wrong (and if i am, modnar or another guru will correct me)

that would be a very helpful feature when I'm working with my R3 synced to the MPC
