firstly the " no need to be negative " was in relation to his comment about my hardware as his post was directed at my hardware, my reply was to simply return the comment that something is only negative if you wish it to be negative, everything has its pros and cons. if uvi were not trying to help out then i could understand but they are doing everything they can to help.
as for bpmv2, have you as of yet seen any posting in an official capacity that current users will not get any form of free upgrades? have you seen an official motu or uvi posting that there is going to be a motu bpm v2? or is it all just hearsay.
enot, thanks for a really well thought out reply to my post, its nice to hear from a user who has taken the time to think out a reply to a post and offer a sensible objectionality to any post.
motu released it , not uvi, uvi can only build the product and give functionality in the time frame thats available to them, unfortunately this meant shortcoming when released at namm, the namm release was not uvi's choice it never is, as a contracted party to supply a product they are not in control of a release date , all they can then do is play catch up. and make the product what it would and should have been had they been given the time frame that they would have liked, hence upgrades. the product was rush released under motus direction for namm simply because they wanted a nice new product to show.
as for use it an shut up, , its not a case of that, its a case of use it the best you can as i stated, and get in touch with uvi with your errors and problems and it gets added to the updates and corrections lists, uvi wont know whats wrong unless you the user tells them.
all i said was to remember its not uvi's fault that a product is released too soon, but know this they are working thier butts off to correct and fix the current crop of problems and add functionality that users have asked for , myself included.
with regards to the workflow, when ever you get a new piece of equipment you have to learn a hole new level of functionality and system, the problem is that many current and ex mpc users are expecting it to be similar to mpc's and also to have certain software workings that you would exepct from other software, yes there are things that i want in it that i expected to be there like the global cc# assignability that is promenant with motu products. however instead of going nuts over it i decided that while building the hardware i would involve uvi and try and rectify one of the issues.
luneytunes:
as for your comment, let me get this straight first time.
i have used motu products since the companies first releases and have used mach5 since its inception and pre releases. dont assume for any moment that i dont know what motu or uvis product base is or has been. i own my own recording studios and have worked with some of the worlds most renowned recording artists using motu products and uvi products to name but a few of the current crop of items i use.
your quote"we see you did you homework with the hardware(yaye) ...."
yet no sooner had i posted about the hardware i was working on you sent this message to me
we should talk

i have own the Roland 12 bit(emu sp1200-like sound) S-50 keyboard, the mpc 2000xl, mpc4000 and mpc1000. i used to work for Guitar Center Atlanta and i am a BPM fanatic. i have Beat Kangz Beat Thang and i see u have promise too. i have a dream of a touchbook pro with BPM but u have a good design. were are u? i have some adds and questions u mite want.
hmm now from what i can gather you were chomping at the bit to get in touch with me about my hardware etc, and now i make a little post that you dont agree about you dismiss my work
if the software is that bad for you, then i suggest you get an sdk kit, learn to code and do some correctional work yourself, or build your own hardware.
myself in the meantime i will continue my build, continue speaking with UVI and in doing so help make a better product and not just sit in a forum and moan like a pubescent teenager.
my advice is still plain and simple so even you can understand it.
be patient, if you have issues get in touch with uvi, give them error logs, screen shots or any general info you can, they are not mind readers and to be honest are doing a damn more tech work than motu ever has for any of its products.
as for the "gtfoh" comment thats not a problem for me, i can just drop any form of info here continue bpm/harware development quietly and then not bother sharing the details and updates of myself and uvi with you users here.
however as other members and users have contacted myself with a view of complete interest in the hardware and any form of functionality that can be implemented to bpm im going to stay.
next time you feel the need to fire off a comment or assumption to me , please be a little more concise and descriptive that will help me understand your post a little better in future.
apart from that have a nice xmas and new year.
its amazing what a screen full of code and a custom interface can do.
