Alas, I think the user interface challenges are considerable when contemplating performance macros on the DN. Perhaps something like a Faderfox?

I do have an UC4, hehe <3
But maybe they could add a page in the master section, like they did on the DTā¦?

Consensus seems to be that thereāll be a DN firmware update at some point soon. Weāll have to see what they manage to shoehorn in.

yeah, hopefully theyāll address some of that stuffā¦ other than that, a led intensity setting would be more than welcome (expecting that to happen, since they add it to DT)

Velocity is velocity. You can program this into the sequencer. No midi keyboard needed. The parametern is on the TRG page.

yeah, I know! I shouldāve explained myself better: what I mean is, lets say I want to test how the velocity mod responds from WITHIN the velocity mod settingsā¦ thereās no way to do that afaik. My logical approach was to turn the VEL to zero (on the TRG page) then have something like that incoming velocity display shown on the left of the velocity mod settings, to ātestā how it would sound at different velocitiesā¦ maybe a āstandalone modeā for this page? as of now, if I wanted to test how the vel mod responds, I have to go out of the menu, change the vel on TRG page, hear how it sounds, and repeat this to infinity until I get it rightā¦ not sure if thereās a quick access key shortcut to that vel mod settings page? that would at least help.
By doing this, I can use the VEL parameter as somewhat of a macro knob.

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but you can just turn the level knob while you are on the velocity settings page to adjust the velocity level (also works for mod wheel, after touch and breath control).
It would be great to have all those available on one page as performance knobs.

hmmm but if I do that with the level on the TRG page turned to zeroā¦ it jumps to zero when playing any key? afaik that displays the incoming velocity (either for internal or ext. keyboard) but Iāll give that another try.
EDIT: I tried it again and, as I mentioned, the velocity jumps to the value set on the TRG pageā¦ and it makes sense - itās just that itās not convenient when designing sounds with the built-in keyboard

Okay, I get what you mean now. I understand that this is inconvenient when designing patches with only the internal keyboard. The workaround I use for that is to p-lock a simple sequence with acsending velocity values and let it run while adjusting the values on the velocity settings page.

Increasing the number of LFOās/LFO layout; rather than split two LFOās across two pages, display one LFO per page, three or four pages, each page containing the controls for each individual LFO.
Withing the proposed setup tapping the LFO key cycles between the LFOās, each having the same available parameters (pg. 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 etc). Hold the LFO key for one second to trigger a screen which displays both the speed and depth controls for all four LFOās simultaneously (picture a menu similar to the main LFO page on the octatrack).
Alternatively, you could have all the controls for a single LFO on one page, but one knob or setting dedicated to changing which LFO youāre editing.
Alternatively, you could display the speed and depth controls for four LFOās upfront, holding the LFO key would bring up a page with all LFO settings with a parameter dedicated to selecting which LFO you are editing (this is exactly how it works in the Octatrack).
In any case, have multiple components of multiple LFOs split across two pages feels a bit awkward so far.

Im sure its been said but, it would be awesome if we could control whats routed to the headphone and main jacksā¦ it would be a really sweet way to get another pair of outputsā¦ i really want to process digitone synths with external FX without processing all 4 tracks at onceā¦ ie have some nice crazy reverb on a pad while leaving drums and bass clean when Overbridge is not an option. i donāt use the headphone jack under most circumstances anyway!

Digitakt has 2 lfoās now with 1 LFO perpage . So there might be a chance weāll see that on digitone maybe as well in the future.

Having both LFOs on one page suits me just fine. It keeps things quick and flowing. I hope they dont change it!
(Iām a smug git anyway, if I want more LFOs, I just borrow them from the octatrack)

I see your point. Certainly the current layout is manageable if there are only going to be two LFOās. I guess Iād just like a few more personally. Is there a way to make the envelopes for operator A and B loop while the key is held? Perhaps that would be much easier to implement, thereās already a nice blank space on page one of SYN2ā¦
Excited for the coming update. If itās anywhere near as comprehensive as the recent digitakt update we should be in for some thoughtful surprises. tbh Iād be happy enough just to be able to dim the ledās.

This! Damn those fuckers are bright.
Ability to turn the arp on and off per step would be nice. Thats probably been mentioned a lot already.
Loopable operator envelopes would be awesome, that would essentially make them complex LFOs.

I know! especially the multicolored track keys with their millions of variations. Every time I look over there itās a bad trip.
Agree with you regarding the arp! I have a feeling they will build on the arps potential in the next update, thereās a lot of room there.
Regarding looping operator envelopes, it would be pretty cool if both A and B had their own option to loop. You could have a single overarching operator envelope and a looping component within.
Really like both of these ideas. I still wish for multiple notes within a step to have different microtimings, you could rotate between the notes using a knob within the microtiming menu, wouldnāt have to change anything else.
Still, I would gladly settle for a setting which would allow notes to not be overwritten, I keep accidentally overwriting previous notes while recording.

Totally. It could be done with one knob.
Env loop. A, B, A+B, OFF.

Thatās a really smooth implementation!
I suppose the filter envelop and amp envelope could be loopable as well.

track keys
On another note, now understand why the track key lighting legend is so confusing for me. Would be interested in hearing how others have adjusted to the way these keys are lit? how it currently works: Hold function, unmuted tracks are lit red, press the track button and itās light goes off, let go of function and the track key is lit red. So, currently, this exact same red light indicates both muted and unmuted, all in a second, depending on whether or not your holding func. Not to mention the red appears very different through T3 (hardly at all) compared with T2/T4. And if itās selected and muted it will shine brighter than a thousand sunsā¦ unless itās T3.
What if when you held down func they were all just dim white when unmuted, and off when muted regardless of whether or not your holding function? Yellow if selected while muted.
