You know I was thinking about the repeat note thing. I think it would take a lot more than we think to put it in there. I don't think its just something you can tack on.
Think about it. The MPD would need to get MIDI clock from the software, first and foremost. Then it would need to send out a MIDI message every 16th note (or 8th or 32nd) to do the repeat. that means it would have to have some sort of internal hardware sequencer. That's probably a lot more internal digital hardware, a lot more design, a lot more development, and a lot more expense.
Without the repeat though, its just a dumb MIDI controller. I think the padKontrol gets around this problem because of the fact that its drumrolls aren't locked to the MIDI clock. That means as long as it receives the two signals (1. the drum pad being held down, and 2. pressure on the x-y pad) it'll just fire off notes.
That's just my thinking though, I could be wrong.
I would like to see the finger pad controllers evolve a bit more though. Kinda like what Novation and CME did with their keyboard controllers.
I'm wondering if the MPD24 will integrate with Guru. That would be dope!

I hate to get you guys all riled up, but I hear this thing DOES have Note Repeat on it. Guy from Guitar Center mentioned that the other day when I went in to cop that Behringer BCF2000. The MPD24 sports alot of features not mentioned in the ad, and maybe that is one of them. Of course having the Note Repeat would attract a bigger crowd, but who knows. I have the Pad Kontrol, and I love the drum Rolls i get off that thing, but If I can have Drum Rolls, 16 level feature, bank switching, *AND* them Akai Pads, then im sold on the MPD24!
