It would be cool if you could hold down the encoder and then hold down keys on the keyboard to specify the chord shape.
Yeah, that’s clever!
i dont see polyphony ever coming to the ST. otherwise why did they spend time developing “chords”
They developed it for the Model Cycles so probably easy to just port it over. I’m hopeful they will implement voice sharing

hmm, good point. Well now I have hope.

I bet they will. voice allocation like digitone, more digital machines - noise \ percussion kinda stuff first. and some interesting expansions of the modifiers.

It sounds so good in unison mode.

This is not a prediction, but I would love to see a stripped down 1 bar live sampling machine to make the Syntakt a spiritual successor to the MD UW. 12bit sampling with the repitch feature from DT 1.50 passing through the analog fx block would be incredible.

…since repetition makes the hit…
vowel machines…
and various insert fx gimmick machines, implemented like neighbour tracks…

As for a sampler and the argument against it that it would effect the Digitakts place, I don’t see how it would be any different than octatrack being effected by Rytm’s sampling ability. Like yes, they both “sample”. But one of them is a spoon and the other is a bulldozer in regards to sampling. If it’s a development/hardware issue with the syntakt, fine. I don’t understand that stuff. But if it is about balance between the other boxes, I don’t see how being able to load a few 12 or 16 bit 1 shot samples with pitch, decay and sample start time would be any reason to think someone would buy a Syntakt over a Digitakt.

I think especially with the new machines on the digitakt having a really stripped down sample player in the syntakt wouldn’t overlap too much at all in my opinion. I kinda doubt that they will do it just because they seem to generally like the conceptual purity of a synthesis only device.

Only thing missing for me is a good digital hi-hat machine and a sample-based machine with 909-like hats and good punchy 80s style 12-bit 707/727-like drums and percussion.
