A small feature, i.e. when pressing a trig that has values p-locked change the page LEDs (OSC1, Filters etc.) to a different colour or make it flash to indicate that there are values on that page that are p-locked. This could also apply to the Octatrack.
It’s been mentioned elsewhere but being able to mute tracks with one hand would be great too. I can’t hold function with my thumb and reach the tracks with my pinky finger like on an octatrack and my nose isn’t quite pointy enough to press the track buttons all the way down. So… a secondary method of muting/unmuting would be nice
If you go into performance mode (press the perf button twice, and turn off grid record) and you have mute control on the first 6 trig buttons. This isn’t ideal, but it’s reasonably fast. I’ve had a similar problem trying to have OT & A4 going at the same time, not enough hands
I’d also like to put in a request more hands please
Ok, am I being daft or does the A4 not send its midi notes (from arp etc) to the midi out port? If not this is absolutely essential for me so that I can layer sounds/parts with other synths…
I would love a proper slide implementation. The current method is kind of garbage and backwards. We all want the a4 to slide like a 303, so can’t we just have a “legacy” slide mode?
Have a multi sound mode where you can map different sounds to one of 16 keys. Each part could have a bank of 16 selected sounds
This will help with drum patterns and drum sounds. You could play any of the 16 keys to trigger a sound. Or better yet, hit the mini keys to trigger and the 16 select the sound that is played with that key/note. The default sound for the track would be the sound on 1.
You can do that right now by using the CV outputs and a CV capable synth or a cv/midi converter. But output of at least arp notes via midi would indeed be a big plus.
Not likely to ever happen but I was thinking it would be sweet to be able to sequence internal track transpose from the CV track. Of course per track multi[pliers would assist this function.
Also never likely to happen as we already have microtiming for trigs, but why not a zoomable step sequencer with onscreen display for zoom resolution and left/right arrows for navigation within a page?
