This why i think a simpler faster way to setup follow actions in one go would be to enhance song mode to structure scenes as well or instead of sequences. That way you see a more listed view of the song and what parameters you have for follow actions. Currently follow actions is one slow to setup and two hard to know which scene has different / unique settings.
Defo agree to veing able to cut / paste midi in the arranger like audio clips. I reckon they will introduce this.
Rather than copy / paste scene, it would be good to also have Duplicate Scene.
And finally, an option in Erase to select multiple tracks, at least in the arranger view. This would make arrange real fast.
Hope to see a major workflow update in the future, and Akai will get there given how the platform has evolved. My biggest, and prob only actual complaint, is the stabilityā¦i get crashes everyday typically involving copying/pasting/erasing. So want a bug fix update more than anything and then im happy with things as they are for time being.
help me decide what MPC to get to tie in my studio of dozen plus synths and since I have Octatrack and SP404 plus modular, what MPC should I consider?
Can you provide a link to this deal? Wasnāt able to find it in my quick check online
Obviously, the latest, the MPC Live III.

FYI, you can copy row/scenes.
The follow actions can be made more faster to work with but its not that bad. I would like there to an option to set a default follow action like Play Next.
In my current template I got about like 31 clips set to Play Next Row & the 32 set to End/Stop. Not the best as Iāll still need adjust the amount of scenes & their length before it moves on the next, but just having Follow Actions & multiple Arrangers on the Force after all these years (2021) is a major improvement.
I made (from my own & other users suggestions) & posted the Force/MPC Big-Ass wish list years ago & many of those requests are in 3.6 & the OS is still being updated. I wish Roland was this committed to their gearā¦looking at my TR8S & MC707ā¦
I had another crash last night on Force 3.6. So basically every session theirs 1 crash. Akai needs to get on this ASAP!
Not if sheās a synth-head.

Odd issue here. 
Since upgrading to 3.6 my MPC [Live 1] no longer sees my Launchpad Pro3 via USB. It works via 5pin only.
I tried my Keystep 37 and that works fine via USB and 5pin, but the LPP3 stays undetected.
Can anyone with a similar setup try theirs and holler back?
Did you reset your preferences after updating as recommended?
Errrr, nope. I donāt recall that recommendation message. If I did get it I figured it would mess-up all my lil quirky-preferences.
Should I do that?
Seems odd.
Where do I find that option now?
I donāt have the source of them saying to reset, but they did. Take that how want & yes it will reset everything. So make note/pics of your settings. This has solved many strange problems over the years.
It certainly beats spending money on less safe vices/hobbies!
10 years ago, my wife and I were starting a family. She asked if I would consider selling my motorcycles. I did and used the money for a modular system. I miss the bikes sometimes, but the synths have easily brought more joy into my life, and they also canāt take my life unless I am really careless with module installation.

I wish I could find the motivation to gather a list like this. Iād post so other users in agreement could copy and paste as their own request that way amplifying a unified voice from the community.
I like a lot of your ideas so if you decide to make another list def tag me on it. 
I must have gotten a really good unit because I donāt experience crashing at all. I may have had one since I got [III] and I think it was my fault. I use daily for hours on and off external power. Rock solid.

I was just frustrated about how all of our idea was so unorganized & thought 1 main list could be used as a base for what has been requested & make it easier for Akai - who does read these forums, believe it or not. I meant to review update it back when 3.5 came out, but never around to it & then 3.6 came out. I got you on the new list!
Here the old list: MPC Thread : MPC Live - MPC X - MPC One (Part 2) - #6163 by Poetic-Noise
Once again, this isnāt all my ideas, most of it came from the wish-list thread on MPC-Forums, but that became a beautiful hot mess.

that is how I gave up flying aircraft and scuba diving and went synth guitar route. I do miss the adrenaline of flying aircraft and diving the great oceans of the world but at least it stopped worrying my mother who has since passed on.
