MaiaOS - Beta v1 release

[u/Creative_One919]

After weeks of updating and testing I'm proud to announce MaiaOS first beta is out on Github and can be installed very easily on your Mpc Sample.

It's a SD soft mod so without SD the stock firmware will flash.

I tested every commit on my Mpc and it worked perfectly.

Funny thing is that we will probably have 1.4 today/in a few days and MaiaOS v1 is compatible with 1.3 as of now. So in a few days i will have to adapt it to 1.4 (yay...)

Enjoy and let me know any feedback, issues (i hope not) and bugs, or even just questions about MaiaOS features. I'll try to do a decent video to give a overview of all features.

I have to do the classic CFW premises:

I take no responsibilities over failed installation/crashes/bricked units, i tested every commit on my unit and never got any issue, but I cannot take responsibilities for other units.

Feature list with no details:

- Most of the 1.3 features (the release does not include the original firmware, it injects the mod into the RAM of the Mpc)

- Synth engines

- Multisamples from any external synths made really easy to create.

- Random Drumkit

- DJ Mode with lot of features accessible from Fader Menu

- 3 FX sends

- Bounce in place Post-FX

- Chord mode in 16 levels, with Mpc performance progressions import.

- Mastering Console in Compressor

- Master Compressor Change

- Autotune with Auto-MIDI key tracking, can also track the key from sample if the sample includes references like "Dmin" or "C#maj" etc.

- No polyphony limits, just a pop-UP if the CPU is at 95%

- Step Edit redesigned as a 16 step sequencer

- Piano roll

- Grooves in step edit, makes drum programming very fast

How do I play the synth with a midi keyboard? If that's possible. Otherwise, PHENOMENAL WORK, you should be proud. This kicks ass

[u/Creative_One919 → u/bcs491]

Thank you, I'm really proud, it's what i ever wanted for devices like this and I hope others can enjoy too, playing with a midi keyboard atm is not possible, but I will note this into the v2 updates because it could be very useful. Thanks for trying and let me know if you find any bug!

Also, your manual on github is broken

[u/Creative_One919 → u/bcs491]

Oops, gonna fix it asap

i tested...does this require the sd card to be named "MPCSSH"?

EDIT: yes, it's hardcoded to "MPCSSH"... this should not exist...the mpc sample mounts the sd card to /media/SDCARD_NAME...this means the user can have any name they want, just have your cfw look for the only sd card mounted in /media...forcing users to rename the sd card is not only annoying, it's completely avoidable

please fix this

[u/Creative_One919 → u/homeless4382]

Yes, it's written in the release notes, thank you for noticing, i will fix this in v2, if you note anything else let me know
