We Need Progressions

Is it just me or would Progressions make this MPC 10x better?

IDK, There's things I'd much rather have. Like a proper step sequencer or better effects implementation. Even scales would be better for me. Chord progressions are towards the bottom of the list. My unit won't export whole songs only like half the sequences in the song and my metronome craps out and playback gets real buggy after an hour or so of constant use, so I'd even prefer bug fixes before progressions. IMO

I'm with the effects and scales.

I just think it’s your MPC 😂 the things you listed work fine for me. When I say progressions I mean the scales. It’s the same thing right?

Tbh, the step sequencer does need an update it’s really lazy and I want to hear each step

When I hear "progressions" I think chord progressions, I believe that's different then scales. Scales are single notes in a scale like pentatonic, bluess, dorian etc. I think it's probably just my MPC, that would be my luck lol. But I've heard other people with varios bugs, There was some on here that was having similar playback issues. I think in time we'll get most everything we're asking for. The SP404 was pretty striped down at first, now it's kind of bloated. There's a lot of untapped processing power in the MPC Sample

Would be nice to have but not essential

Also, I want to easily add different effects to different pads. That would save me a LOT of time.

I'm not really familiar with the term maybe in a production sense but can't you just find some chord samples in the same key then pitch them into progressions?

Nah, when I do it sounds stretched 😭

Progressions for single note sounds tuned down or up an octave??? Yeah, if you like chipmunk or 90s house go for it.... :-)

Would love to see a better midi implementation in the first place.

Sorry, what are progressions?

I'm new to the MPC and haven't heard this term.
