ive just being on it for a couple of days. My biggest request so far is to keep the sequences independency from each other, as now they are simply track loops, they not longer independent sequences. Its ok if we afterwards need to reorder and clean our final sequences to be able to use the arranger, but the sequences as a sandbox to experiment back and forth very freely can not be reduced to be loops of a timeline and have that format even if we never put them in the timeline. But i have a lot to go through still, then ill send the feedback. Cheers

There is a bug with track mute when you set TC on and time signature of 1 Bar. If you program for example a house beat with kickdrums on the downbeats when you press mute to the kick track you can hear the attack of the first kickdrum of the next bar that it should be muted, and when you unmute the kick track the first kickdrum has some kind of fade in to the audio. This was not happening in 2.x . It would be amazing if you do a video of this bug so they are aware of it cos i use track mutes with tc on to 1 bar all the time so it behaves like launching clips with ableton with quantize to 1 bar.

Or am I missing something? Edited to add....

you're missing out on the qlinks - took me a while to get used to it, but it's indespinsible for me now. That said, i think they made the qlinks less efficient on 3.0

@@TheCratesMotel I actually think they worked better for mixing in 2.15 - even with how obtuse the mapping was for 4-knob controllers. Have a qlink associated with each spot on the grid made for easy levelling by feel (even if they were mapped horizontally in the program, but set up vertically on the hardware). The qlinks are much more powerful now, but you have like 15 options to choose from now instead of a more robust screen mapping on 2.15

@@TheCratesMotel in 2.15, the pad mixer changed up what the qlinks did depending on which tab you had selected. So levels meant all 16 controlled levels, pans meant you set to pans, etc. In 3.0, the screen setting is anemic and the screen setting is only controlling one channel as a sort of strip. So you need to tap on each channel to get control of each track. There’s a Volume mode that gives you control over just the levels of 8 of the tracks at a time according to where your first track starts on-screen, but it’s easy to forget you left it in there and start tweaking knobs on the wrong setting and not realizing it. It also stays static to the track volumes so if you switch to pad mixer, the knobs don’t change up and you have to consciously switch the qlink mode to pad mix mode to get levelling in a drum program. The big plus is a lot of the modes to allow for custom mappings because lots don’t use up all 16 qlinks so you can customize a lot - especially with the new macro feature. I finally have a submix solo option by macro 7/8 subgroup mutes to a single knob.

@@TheCratesMotel Do you know the (not official) MPC Forums? For 2.10 there where about 10 pages with bugs. For 2.11-2.13 they had 600+ pages with bugs. Akai needs to deal with their software - what they did - they added a content devlivery system for paid add-ons. That is what I hate! Less stability - more evil corporation suff. The 3.0 version is a progression towards that - not giving us value. I would rather buy a new MPC instead of them bringing me into a cloud service
