JJ OS Feature Requests (ARCHIVE)

Yes I know, but the idea is that you could "audition" them form the CF/HD without actually permanently loading them into the memory and replacing the original, before you've found the best sound for you purpose, at which point you just press/select "replace sample".

The workflow I'm after is this:
- you have a huge collection of single hit samples in specific folder like bass/snare/hihat/cymbal/percussion/tom/etc.
- you quickly load some random bass, snare and hihat samples into the memory
- you quickly write down the drum beat idea you had in mind
- after you've done the sequencing, you then start browsing your single hit sample libraries for the best fitting samples and hear them in the actual sequenced drum tracks (while the song is playing at the background)

That last part should be very quick and easy to do if the feature I proposed would be implemented

i was just thinking the other day about how nice it would be to apply certain hits in a sequence to effect slots or out slots. not just a pad or a track but just a hit that has been sequenced in. i don't know if technically this is possible but it would be great.

I'd love to have more polyphony, but thats probably not possible out of the hardware. It is just my biggest complaint of the MPC. I see the 2500 is even the same at 32. I seem to run out & parts drop out. I do like the polyphony meter. That is a help to me.

#1 -
The MAIN thing that I want is sampling at 22k !!!
If you ever had an SP or ASR you know it has a certain sweet sound.
Importing sounds from USB or the CF doesn't sound the same.
I think you can degrade the sample after you grab it, but I think capturing a record at 22k is magic.
Just me...

That's number 22 on my list:

Good 1 !!
Also, On a side note the new 5G now has a track mixer which show sliders for all tracks pop up on the mpc display. I would think that is do-able. Adjusting velocity isn't the same & adjusting each pad sucks. If a hit is too loud I'll change it. That is my #2 request.

Do these requests ever come true?
We should make like a top 10 by vote & have the Admins here send them in.

It would be fantastic and it would make the workflow much easier and quicker, if one could browse the samples in the sample load screen so that the selected sample would play in the place of the original sample. Maybe the OS could even ask if the old sample should be replaced with this new one.

+++ for this one.


What i would also like to see is "DELETE PROGRAM WITH SAMPLES".
Sometimes purge is no good because you might have some minute-ago-recorded samples in the memory that you haven't assigned to any program yet.

It's easy to load a program but I think it should be as easy to unload it too... I know there's a possibility that some of the samples from the program could be used in some other program, but for most of the time this isn't the case. Besides, the purge function actually makes similar or even worse damage to your work if missused..

how about?

I don't know too much about the pad pattern yet, but i wish one could transpose the pad pattern notes with the note data of the corresponding track..

it would be so cool if you could just record a melody on a track,
then add couple of pad patterns on that track.. eg:
1: (XoooXooX)
2: (ooXooXoo)
now both of the pad patterns would take the pitch value from the recorded notes on the track and play the X with that pitch..

you could do all kind of complex stuff with such a ease.

jjos2: shaming the 5000 since late 2007

it's been a while since i've made a "Request" (and NO, i'm not sending this to jj until +march)

but i think the idea of SIMULT can be taken further than pad, further than sequence.

i want to see SIMULT INST program. in this case, all recorded midi and qlink/qreal control is applied to 2 programs: the active track program, and the SIMULT program. this applies some of the concept behind the "Combinator" in reason, but just with multisamples on the mpc. a potential polyphony muncher, to be sure, but still extremely powerful for synth/instrument creation/augmentation.

individual pgm parameters could be editing independently as usual in GPE, of course. kind of how you can change the params of independent simulted pads.

absolutely 1000% with simult programs idea.

I think "simult program" would be a good feature, you could do all sorts of stuff, including instrument programs linked to other instrument programs but with differnet adsr settings etc. Emu have "linked presets"in their machines and it is very useful.
surely it'd be just a case of sending midi data to two programs rather than one....not that id have a clue as how to code it though!haha

Im thinking that inst program velocity ranges could be easily implemented with this feature too: Imagine each program has a global velocity response range e.g. prog 1:64-127 and prog 2: 0-63.Link em together and hey presto you have keygroups and velocity ranges.

Song mode with loop feature, tap tempo, and quick tempo adjustment with jog wheel, instead of having to go 5 layers deep to get to it.

Haha, How do I get to that screen?
I've only had my 1k a short while.
I use to know every spec & feature of my ASR like you do on the 1k.
Those youtube videos are wild.
If there is a bug, I bet you do find it.
Hahaha

i will often have a few 2 bar samples and chop each one of those into 8 slices, and want them all on one program. so thats easily 32 samples that i have to go through and manually assign, (minus the initial 8 that are assigned to the newly created program). i hate to sound lazy, but this is really a waste of time since all i would need is the option in the chopper to assign slices to an existing program of my choice. it would just assign them in sequential order to the next available pads in the program.

This one's for OS2.
I'd kill for realtime Q-Link control over the ADSR parametres.
This one would make my year.

My wishes for MAIN Screen:

- The Return of the Velocity Field. Oh Boy... That's More important to me than the Midi Note Display.
- Beeing able to lock the assigned Samples in the Pad Field (below Programs). I don't know how often I accidentally turn the data wheel there and change the assigned sample! Ridiculous!
- Disable Naming functions of the Track field - also annoying: when I put the cursor there, I want to change the actual track. I don't want the name editor to pop up! Rather that has to change, or the Track number field has to be reached easier. The current behavior of the Main screen forces me to use the F Buttons to change the tracks - something i didn't do since day one

Anybody has an idea why the way you hit pad in trim mode is set as note on??

That has always bothered me. The point that i mean is if you could set note off/on from trim mode would be really dope for NDC.
One of the most wasting time problem for me in the mpc is when you have to redo your chops. Let's say i have a long sample which is not very percussive, not really tight and that you couldn't chop visually. My workflow is basically chop, replay in note off at a good tempo to see if it matches. That's why note off in NDC would be a big time saver for me.

Anybody with the same workflow and the same thought?
