Yes, we discussed this bug up thread … hopefully resolved by software (I just turn off the compressor on subby tracks).
For all we know the Jura, Mini-D and Iona could possibly also use the same “Fabric engine” and filters behind the hood? In their Iona page they say about the filter: “Iona features a vintage-inspired filter with envelope, LFO, and keyboard tracking” … sounds to me more like a generic “vintage type” filter than a dedicated modelled filter based on SH101 tbh.
In the Juno plugin they don’t even mention anything about the filter, only that they have
Only in the Mini-D they mention about the oscillators “With 8 authentically modeled oscillator shapes” and about the filter: “Mini D includes the “Classic” ladder style filter model with painstaking attention paid to the feedback section to create a truly remarkable emulation of the original.”
The built-in MPC sample playback engine already has some “vintage modelled” filters:
Model1
This is an analog style 4-pole filter, modeled after a famous vintage semi-modular synthesizer. This filter will clip (distort) when fed a loud input level.
Model2
This is another analog style filter with a mellow resonance, and slight fattening distortion in the lower frequencies.
Model3
This filter is a crazy analog modeling filter capable of howling, piercing resonance and jaw-rattling sub frequencies. Watch your
speakers!
It must be in Akai’s interests to sell plugins that work across as many of their products as possible. Maybe even the Sample. Maybe there will be some premium plugins that only work on gen 3 MPCs, but they will continue to make less CPU intensive plugins for a long while yet.

Ok, I agree with everything, they wasted an opportunity to create something more solid, maybe when all the new MPCs around will be second generation they will develop more interesting stuff… and yes, after Matrix there is nothing left

Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 brings together Fabric Vintage Pro, Fabric Vintage Jup, and Fabric Vintage Memorymoog in one unified virtual instrument collection. Inspired by three of the most influential analog polysynths ever created, these instruments have been reimagined through the AIR Advanced Multi-Sample Synthesis Fabric Engine for flexible, intuitive music-making.
AKAI clearly tells you what it is: multi-samples.
The actual Jupiter 8 has cross modulation, the fabric JUP plugin does not. The Prophet 5 has oscillator and filter FM, the fabric Pro plugin does not. These are clearly not emulations or virtual knock-offs. Please don’t spread FUD about other plugins though.

meaning?
I can reproduce it. I’m on firmware 1.3. The one with the link referenced above in the thread. So has not been addressed.
On a side note. Anyone know how to go back to a pad without re-triggering the pad? If I trigger one pad and want to go back to a pad that is looping I don’t want to trigger it again.
Edit: Figured it out. Hold Sample button and tap pad. But it doesn’t show the playhead line. Which is what I want to see😔.

The MKI has that rubber that will turn into a sticky shit show covering the chassis. I sold mine due to it.

The advantage of the new processor is how many instances you can run simultaneously. They are unlikely (at the minute anyway) to release plugins that can only run on the new boxes because that would make their lineup complicated and confusing for people.

No but they can make them so they maybe only run one instance… we do deserve better… however, I do think calling these just multiples is not doing it justice, each contains many, many, categories of banks of them… it is a lot in each… and they sound great, but also very personable, they capture the particular synth very well.
Just found this on fb from John Dupont.
Don’t have a mpc sample but could have gotten this message myself.

I bought my new MPCs because they offer all in one studio greatness. I have HW and SW synths ranging from on par to exponentially better than MPC plugins however they are still all great and worth copping— to me.
It’s the convenience of having everything in one box without having to be chained to my synth studio or connected to my Mac, iPad, etc.
I unapologetically love the latest new vintage collection and will likely continue to buy most if not all of the sounds AIR drops because so far, I love em, the convenience and I can afford to. $28 for each of these plugins is less than my fav Lobster Monsta sushi roll which lasts about 5 minutes before it finds the bottom of my tummy. Conversely, I’ll have these sounds forever.
Even if just 1 preset per plugin saved me an hour designing/finding it someplace else, it’s worth $28 considering how much an hour of my time is worth.

I am of the opinion that if you are picky about Moog sounds, then you should buy a Moog. I just use whatever, mostly presets anyway, so don’t rely on one box for anything. It is an understandable ambition to have everything in one place, but the reality is this game never ends.
I also think cost is very subjective, we people spend thousands on say an OPXY or TP7 or TR1000 without second thought, but an app that costs 100$ feels outrageous.

Exactly.
I haven’t dove into MPCe too much yet, but can you at least map the various plug in parameters to it?
That should be THE essential warning before checking out a shopping basket that contains a new synth!
If you could have saved the MV 8800 and SP-16 from an early death by buying soundpacks would you ? I know I would .
It’s the cost of doing business

I’ve seen user take the rubber coating completely off. Other than that it’s not if but rather when it starts to go.
