where is that wonderful JJ OS comparison chart?

i remember a while back someone posting up a link somewhere to a compairson chart laying out the features side by side for the Free JJ OS, OS1, AND OS2. can someone redirect me to this link please?

Also, quick JJ OS1 question:

can you load up mp3's from the CF card?

if not, can you do it in OS2?

peace!

its on the jj website now

as well as a projected addition for .90: pad pattern. i don't know what that is.

intriguing

actually nym - if anyone can answer this question i'm sure you can.

i went round a friends place today - he sends a midi in to his MPC1000 from Logic and plays records his drums in logic.

now the problem is when you go into GPE to edit the kit while the drums are playing from logic - you can't edit anything, cause the cursors jumpin all over the place.

is there any way to make it stay put?

this does not happen on his 2000xl

i don't work this way as i just sync to my DAW via MTC so i couldn't help

is there any way to make it stay put?

unfortunately not, since the jjos is intended to be sequenced from within the MPC - all pad triggering and incoming midi signal is interpreted as having struck that pad, thus changing the selection off.

solving this problem would compromise this ability to select parameter zones via external controller. adding an option to turn off "select pad in GPE w/ external midi controller" would be OK, as long as it doesn't apply to striking the PADS in midi mode. this way, incoming midi would trigger the pad, but wouldn't change the selected note in GPE.

that would be the best, most ideal situation but it's a fairly cumbersome FR to explain.

what i would recommend is that he sequence the drums from within the mpc and just let them sync to logic. right now, it must drive him crazy, i can see this being a hell of a pain in the ass to tweak params in GPE.

as of now, it sounds like he might as well be using a softsampler as his drum module, like guru, battery, or shortcircuit, instead of the mpc.

yeah i thought as much - thanks for explaining nym - i think your idea about having an option to turn off "select pad in GPE w/ external midi controller"
would be a real good solution - i think i'll wait till OS2 is completed, in march
and ask for this option when requests are being scrutinised.

think he's got an emu es32 sampler - i'll suggest he uses that.
strange that the MPC2000xl does not do it though. -
i used to have a 2000xl loved it great machine.

i'll have a talk with him - i think he's missing a whole load of things using the 1000 like this.

showed him OS2 today was knock out with what it could do. he's still using wakai at the moment.
he's only had the 1000 for a short time - but, thanks to jj has now seen the light

strange that the MPC2000xl does not do it though. -

well, this is a sticky situation because many would view this function as just that, a function or feature. imagine if you wanted to use your MPC program from external midi controller like a keyboard...and you're navigating the sounds on the keyboard, and suddenly you want to change the AMP envelope settings. in this case, it's very convenient to be able to change the pad in GPE.

unfortunately, just as this is useful, it also precludes the ability to effectively use GPE when using the module.

basically, i think your friend should just switch his main sequencer to the MPC, and that once that learning curve is over he'll be much more comfortable. otherwise, a FR is in order in March.

the more i look at it - i do think this would be a good FR - if you could switch it on and off - could be added to the midi/sync settings PAD 09.

not sure i follow? - 'when using the module'

Nym wrote:basically, i think your friend should just switch his main sequencer to the MPC

either that or i'll teach him to use it MTC

sorry, i meant that the "select note by midi" feature makes it cumbersome to use the MPC as a sound module

in the S3000 you could choose to have it on or off to tweak
this would be handy
