But as a non-MPC person, I’m not terribly qualified to respond. Generally, it looks good to me – not anything that’s so impressive for those of us committed to computer workflows, but looks nice if you’re a 5000 owner. Quantize Track Mutes (something Ableton users, incidentally, have asked for but not gotten, although implementation on a computer is a different can of worms because of plug-ins).“Chopshop” for slicing samples into smaller pieces, with a Zoom feature.Controller Grid Edit Window for graphical controller automation / event editing (something Roland has touted in the past on their machines).Effects automation recording, “an MPC first” (by which I assume they mean it’s the first time on the MPC, as this is commonplace in software, certainly).Keygroup programs for chromatic, key-mapped samples (that wasn’t in there before, really?).And Akai has generously looked the other way.Īkai says the 2.0 OS responds to user requests. But users of the MPC10/2500 have as a result turned in some cases to an alternative firmware, JJOS, to get all the features they want. Now, the MPC itself has long been a bit minimalist in what it does – I think that’s part of its appeal, that it has resisted complexity. Akai has announced 2.0 OS for their flagship MPC5000 drum machine workstation, a free download for MPC owners.
