Corrected some mounting issues in load process Ported the Force FX chain assets to MPC assets which are interoperable in both Force and MPC programs. Also created and added a number of FX Chains. Attempted to correct the bug in my midi interface library that prevents MPC Live II users from using Hakai
Here is how to make the artwork show up on your MPC again:
WHY: In order to make room to fit all the force content into the rom, I had to prune some content so the content I choose to remove was the artwork for all the plugins as well as the TestApp binaries for initializing. (generally not used)
HOW: Copy them to your internal Synths directory or, place them on usb or SD card. It is safe to "transpose" the folders with the content Akai released. (hype, molotron, odyssey etc)
Hackers beware DO NOT attempt to copy them to the root file system they wont fit, its 135 mb of data... you'll just fill your rootfs up
To spoof your unit into a certain mode name your sd or usb card one of these:
X, ONE, LIVE, LIVE2, FORCE6, FORCE
After the first time you've booted with a specially named card it will then copy the midi.cfg to the memstick. You can then edit the mapping with your own, this is a tedious process.
A midi controller is not needed for force, it works with the regular mpc matrix, however if you have an APC, Launchpad, Smartpad or Push you can very likely map it in the midi config
When editing the midi config do not add lines, do not delete lines. ONLY MODIFY THE VALUES.
Items in the midi config denoted with the CONTROLLER_ prefix are things you'll map your matrix values to. (these are for your matrix pads)
Items in the midi config denoted with the FORCE_ prefix are things you'll map your internal interface buttons to.. (if you know how otherwise leave them alone)
There are some special feature's I've coded in. Since the play start button was free and MPC ONE, LIVE and LIVE 2 units are limited on buttons I programmed a special shift-like feature.
When "hakai shift" (play start) is held down you can use the select and launch features from the matrix pad of the main MPC unit. (when not held they do regular force matrix things)
When "hakai shift" (play start) is held down you can use the qlink buttons to choose record arm, solo, mute, and clip stop
Here is an over all feature i added for all MPC units, since the mpc only has an 4x4 matrix grid- i coded it so if you double tap the qlink bank buttons it will switch the matrix quadrant.
Bank A is top left
Bank B is top right
Bank C is bottom left
Bank D is bottom right
Currently, the lights on midi controllers do not work, that's a but of a monumental undertaking because some of them use note values, others use continuous control, and some use sysex.
If you're experienceing a feed back loop in your matrix pad make sure you go to the mpc settings > midi and disable "track" and "master" for the matrix pad. You dont want it linked to either of those options.
Here is a list of midi values for the MPC's internal interface incase anyone doesnt like the default mapping they can use these for reference.
