However, compression/limiter, gates, and EQ often fall into dynamics and are on the channel strips of many (if not most) digital mixers. I simply suggest this an an improvement. I am for all and any improvements to the way sound can be shaped onboard the MPC. This is why also also suggested adding parametric EQ to the filter section for each sampler....and not as just an effect or across the MPCs master output.
I understand what you mean, but I think this MPC has quite extended sound sculpture possibilities on board. Adding for instance a compressor to the sample level is a bit (but not completely) overdone isn't it?
Besides in program mix you can compress/eq/limit per pad even though you have to use one of the FX for that.
And what you suggest seems only usefull for programs with various samples (like drumprograms), but not for synthprograms or any other single sound program (bass, keys, pads etc.).
What I mean to say is that what you want to do IS already possible on the 5k. Having those dynamics on one sample or one pad.

It doesn't matter to me how Akai implements the idea..but I would like to have an EQ for individual sounds and an EQ for individual synth/single sound program. Its true that you can use the FXs to do just this, but there are only 4 FXs busses. I really believe that add ing an EQ in the filter section for each sound/pad would be great. I believe the MV-8800 has an EQ for each sound.

What would you exactly like in terms of EQ? Parametric, how many bands? A type with level, bandwidth (Q) and centre frequency?
I mean, the filters themself are equalizers as well. I will gladly enter a feature request for a next OS but try to convince me (and thus Akai) a bit more

Frequency, Q, and Gain adjustable. There are other hardware samplers with this ability. Some of them even allow you to use the one-band EQ along with a 'regular lp/hp filter at the same time (Yamaha A5000).
A full blown 4 band EQ per sample would be nice, but I doubt the 5000 is powerful enough to support 64 of them. That's like 256 filters...

Yes, you are probably right. Adding one as filter type seems to be the most logical idea. I'll bring the issue up in the bugtracker...
Done

If you are going to pitch the idea, please look at the link I posted for the MV-8800. The MV-8800 is powerful enough to add EQ to each instrument part and audio track. I would hope that the MPC 5000 is as powerful.
