when you are in the ARP page you can move with cursor arrows: left and right and UP (step:ON) DOWN (step:OFF). One of the knobs is ARP length. Hope this help!
Yes, it wasnt in the manual, and i had choosen the method as on A4. I would say, this should be changed, so you could select the ARP step with the trig buttons, as this is more consistent with the older machines.
yeah itās a lotttt faster with the trig buttons
I was directed by āChristanā at Elektron support to send feature-requests to: feature-request@elektron.se.
If you think there has been an omission from the OS (like my first request), Iād still send to support.
Anyway, here are a couple of my suggestions:
-
Allow all parameters on SYN2 page to be p-locked (and I suppose, make them LFO destinations.) I was fooling around with the ATRIG, BTRIG, and PHRT switches with a particular sound, and found some really cool, if subtle, affects on the operators.
-
Add these tags to the sound manager: āMONOā, āPOLYā, āUNISONā.
So, Iām making a couple soundpacks and Iād love a way to indicate to the user how it should best be configured. Since polyphony settings arenāt saved with the sound, the only workaround is by naming the track with those terms in it. Itās not the worst thing, but this could be a time-saver. -
Usability things:
Maybe itās just that Iām so used to the way things work on the AR/A4, but my brain wants the BPM and swing settings to be modified by encoders E and H, respectively (or E and F, respectively.) To me, itās more consistent to have the parameters controlled by the main encoders because every other sub-function uses them, not the ādataā encoder. (I can understand the precedence of having the level/data encoder be dedicated for tempo duties, though.)
being able to re-route all the LFOās to one channel when not in use would be amazing.
I think there is a big problem with the color code choice on the T1-T4 button. When tracks are playing and youāre going from global mute to pattern mute it sometimes becomes just impossible to see anything. Surely Iām not the only one bothered by that? Looks like sometimes itās clear what track is on pattern mute but some other time that purple light becomes very soft and is blinking with all kind of reds and whites and what notā¦It works so much better on the Digitakt.
Another thing that I think is really not practical is the way LFOās are spread in two pages. Way better to have LFO 1 on page 1 and LFO 2 on page 2 if you ask me.
Last, a more intuitive way to add extra notes on a step, on the trig page, like on the Digitakt, would be good.
Also retrig.
And Arp midi out.
Those are my main wishes

Midi arp
& keytracking on lfos.
Quick question regarding mute modes: is it possible to select a track in these modes? I cant figure out how
I generally want performance macros, they are so fun on the Analog 4. Please !
lots of posts and donāt know if itās been said, but I would love to see glide/portamento with adjustable amount and a mono mode for a track. (maybe this functionality is there and I donāt know). Would be especially useful for bass music style basslines, which this device seems to excell at with very little effort.
edit: also the ability to arpeggiate chords. Right now itās one or the other. Oh and legato mode as well.
Glide has been discussed, and everyoneās on board. Totally agree there.
As for mono, I believe you could just allocate a single voice to one of the tracks and achieve that. I always leave mine all on dynamic, so I havenāt actually tried this. Seems like it should work though.
I think it was mentioned before in this thread, but an āaliasingā control would be nice, to decrease the resolution of the base operators, for a more gritty sound.
Could even be global per track, and perhaps giving a polyphony increase? Iām dreaming, I know, but this is the feature request thread after all
Yeah, a touch of that high-end DAC-fuzz and a touch of aliasing can actually sound very nice in some cases. Kind of like the Amiga 8-bit sample sizzle in the high frequencies. Almost like an FM side-band style artifact, but more subtle.
I would also love note repeat on the sequencer ! Please do it. (Drum fills etc.) Also some more scales would be cool. (My Tempest even includes Japanese Scales ā yes its exotic, but why not ? FM is good for Bell /Metall /Gongā¦)
Please update for sampling also stereo audio.
A playback button would be dope or like a loophole to rec
P-Locking ARP +100 ā¦I wish there was a priority list of features from elektron that will definitely be implemented (is there a workaround for this? I guess using patterns would be of course. Or Sampling into DT/OT would be ā¦ but well - Iād like to keep stuff parametric - whatās your workflow?) -
edit: I guess using the OT for the Arp would be the best solution until the feature will be hopefully implemented?
Er, I highly doubt theyāll ever give the Digitone sampling ability.
What about vinyl sequencing?
What do you mean?
Iām using my DSI Pro2 as controller. Set it to MIDI channel āallā. Not working tbh.
