tho I’m a complete elektron-obsessed fan human I really do think the AR and DT should have had Tstretching n Pshifting in this day & age.
imagine being able to modulate sample’s rate in real time using perf & scenes. etc. not to mention having synced drum loops.
It’s also a real shame both didn’t continue the MD & OT lineage of real time resample trigs.
… & freely assignable MD lfo’s .
I still love a hell of a lot about em but it’s a touch upsetting when I dwell on it
those are the reasons I got rid of my AR.
[MKII] It is now possible to control multiple performance macros simultaneously with the QUICK PERF AMOUNT knob
maybe something not exactly like this for MKI but it would be nice if one could have some control over the performance macros, Function+Level knob could be used to control its value?
a really basic functionality where holding one of the pads in performance mode and turning the encoder would assign that specific macro to the encoder, no extra menus needed
(not sure this has been mentioned already)
Oh I’ve wanted this, nay needed this, from day one - may have already suggested
But the easiest quick fix to allow some degree of user clarity would be to allow the user to dim off-scale notes … e.g. this is for a C Major
The user Holds down Chro whilst in Chromatic mode and taps the pads of the scale that they want to de-emphasize - this would then be consistent across the 4 octaves with the corresponding chromatic notes dimmed, making it much easier when two octave chunks are visible on screen in two colours - that is an impossible grid to learn
This could even be a temporary setting, just during play as an aid - any number of pads can be deselected, except one must always be visible, plus all notes will still play, it’s just that they are less obvious on the pad array and can then be avoided
But it would help keep a user on track, super useful addition imho
Nice idea.
I like to have a bunch of scales that the user can add for track.
[Function] + [Chromatic] > Trigs menu > Set Trk x to scale mode e.g. C Major.
not many companies keep improving a product over 5 years.
RETRIG to MIDI OUT
RETRIG in SCENE/PERF mode toggles mute page
or RETRIG+PAD in PERF mode toggles recording of PERF pressure data to pad over loop (not to pattern data)
assignable MIDI CC OUT on SCENE/PERF pads
SOLO active = FUNC+PAD allows muting unmuting
MIDI OUT NOT VEL LEN as LFO/SCENE/PERF destinations
TRIG+PARAMETER PAGE+YES writes up to 8 random P-locks to trig
PAD+PARAMETER PAGE+YES in SCENE/PERF mode writes up to 8 random P-locks to pad
when naming PARAMETER PAGE+YES = random words/symbols generator
new MACHINES (1.45 saw the dual VCO, 1.55…)
LFO destination freely assignable across all tracks
TRACK button + KNOB changes parameter on all tracks
Sync B second Midi sync out option
many edits to this as i keep considering more stuff, i appreciate some are pie in the sky but come from a place inspired by 1.50s new features enabling further expression from the box. some other people have already suggested.
Sorry if proposed before. 600+ posts is too much to dig in to.
The OS1.50 kit reload on pattern change bug actually gave me an idea after my gig last friday. What if we could set tracks to hold over when changing to another pattern that uses another kit? That d be great for improvised transitions in a live set.
Not sure yet whether it should just hold the sound parameters or also the trig pattern. Perhaps the latter. It should clear the held track(s) and load the new kit (& pattern) fully when doing a no+kit button reload.
you can, but you presumably meant to write sound pool
there’s 16 Banks with 256 sounds as opposed to just 1 pool of 128 per project where sounds only load on certain tracks so you may have typically 20-30 to choose from, not such an overhead, but anyway perhaps there’s a reason why searching the pool is fundamentally different given it’s stored in a different place and can be used in a different way, who knows, send a feature request to the official address … feature-request@elektron.se
• pad linking to trig multiple sounds at once (great for making composite kicks, etc)
• ability to toggle the master compressor to a “transient designer” style processor (great for resampling individual sounds, and to smash/smear the master mix)
• CTRL ALL
• turn on and off individual steps from the sequencer instead of just adjusting pattern length
• holding PLAY and touching any of the 16 trigs allows you to fire off that track’s sequence in real time from that particular step, in time with the tempo but decoupled from the other tracks (Toraiz Squid does this and the previous function)
• this sequence triggering function would also be badass if it affected all tracks at once
• 8 bar max ptn length
• additional “Parametric EQ” filter type
• aadding a THRU engine, to feed audio from neighboring track and process with the filters…essentially allowing sound to fit in the mix better
