Follow the Mari Kondo philosophy: does it spark joy? Or does it annoy?
And if it's on Akai, then don't get your hopes up that Akai will come to the rescue. Also, I couldn't with a clear conscience sell a Touch to anyone. As for selling it, I have too much time invested in this music, and last time I checked, their MIDI export didn't work properly. So, you can criticize me all you want, but Akai needs to get its act together.
Tempo tracks are very common, as well as a bunch of other basic things I won't go into. The things I expect the Akai hardware and software to do aren't esoteric. So, as you can see, I HAVE done a lot about it. In Bidule, I built a variable tempo generator controlled by a MIDI cc on an MPC track with the MPC slaved to the Tempo generator. I got around the MIDI channel problem by using Apple IACs in Bidule plugins within MPC channels 17 to 32. However, I soon discovered that the MPC software lacked some things I needed: More than 16 MIDI channels out (a plugin limitation), and a variable tempo control track. The Touch was the cheapest way to get the software at the time (they didn't sell it separately) and I liked having a control surface, though I don't use the pads. I purchased the MPC Touch and software at the beginning of 2018 because (at the time) it was the only DAW I could find that I could run as a plugin within Bidule.
