Sounds amazing. How did you get around the Midi Note Off bug?
Presumably you just haven’t encountered the Midi Note Off bug yet. MPC would be quite the amazing sound module if they fixed it.
I’m also curious how you got the DN2 Arp to control MPC synths. People have been wanting Digitone’s arp to work for external midi, my understanding is that it does not, never has. Please explain?
Oh wow that sucks about the arp. I got as far as using the chord/keyboard and setup a bunch templates with drums programmed by genre when I set it up earlier. Haven’t encountered any bugs that I’ve noticed yet.
***ah ok. I have been having midi issues trying to record chords and melodies with DN and Aerophone, or DN/Launchkey at the same time. I play certain passes that won’t record. Didn’t realize it was the infamous midi bug. Also see that I have been blaming Scaler 3 for something MpC is doing wrong.
Bummer it’s taking so long to address. Fortunately for me I doubt that it’ll rise to any level of madness or be a show stopper but I can see why others are annoyed by it.
lol I’m vexed… i went from laughing at speakers on the live 2 to loving the speakers on the live 2 to wishing so badly now that there were speakers on the mpc x se… !
now i think there should be speakers on every mpc they ever make 
At least make them work with BT speakers.
The latency would be too bad. The internal speakers are brilliant for just jamming with nothing else connected. Thought they were pointless and now think it’s one of the best features.
Let say they improve the latency in the future. Most tech limitation of today are just temporary & the improvement gets taking for granted in the future. It would be cool to just send out (& receive) audio to a BT speaker of better or worse quality. At least have a attachable/detachable speaker we buy as an add-on.
This is true. The Yamaha wireless headphones talked about in another thread recently are latency free though they drop the quality a bit. And Bluetooth midi is up there with cables almost. I dream of a future when all equipment talks to each other without any cables at all. Maybe even on some sort of wireless charging platform. It will happen someday!
There’s no innovation without frustration of a limitation. I got bars today!
I wanted to ask after trying to google this info on my own. Looking for some clarification about the limits of the pad flatten feature in MPC 3. I gather there is nothing comparable here for the program level (let’s say at the drum program level), correct? Does the pad flatten feature bake sends into the ensuing audio for that pad?
In terms of why I am asking. I really want to take advantage of the desktop MPC software to make drum programs, process them at both the pad and global program level with some of my favorite third party VSTs, and then “flatten” them for use in standalone. This would make be really useful for me if were possible.
I’m not sure you can and most likely the sends aren’t included, but there’s another way to get it done: you can always resample the internal sound and I imagine it works the same in standalone?
Flatten Pad doesn’t include send effects, but insert FX on the pad, including VSTs, are rendered.
