Should it ever surface, what would you like to see on it?
I’m gonna get the obvious out the way and say
•Overbridge
•individual outs or ADAT
•internal SSD or at least optional
•easily replaceable battery
for more ambitious suggestions I’d like to see
•something like flex time in logic (I can of course chop up a sample and time stretch each one individually but it’s a hassle in OT)
•spectral morphing with the crossfader
•granular FX
Next generation sequencer with multiple trigs per step, an option to override trig parameter locks with trigless parameter locks (probably not very clear what I mean) and even more options for conditional trigs. Revamped UI with graphical representations of FX, LFO parameters, ENV curves. Ultra high quality time stretching, threshold based sampling.
I would love to have a mixer interface on this thing, i.e. faders - mute and solo buttons. (8 faders, which are assignable to group of tracks per part would be cool.) , Midi scenes, also top on the list. Better time stretching, and a better screen, with better status information. (Maybe LED indication of record /play. ) Multiple Midi Outputs, and USB Midi Host capability would be cool.
Maybe make the OT MK 3 , as a modular device, so you could add expansion bords later on. (Analog Engine cards, FX expansion cards etc.)
Midi file ex and import would be cool too, add linear sequencing /and a performance recording mode, where all knob movements are recorded and stored in a file, which could be edited /viewed later.
Assignable track names/colors. Analog Rytm like -mute behavior for synchronized (un)muting. Faders would be great, but would probably make the machine quite unwieldy.
Yes on this one. In fact if they were able to pull this off with the MK2 I’d wager it would pull a lot more people back in. Cards should be fast enough these days. Not sure about the bandwidth of the machine.
That and double the RAM. I’m still hoping that the MK2 has an extra surprise RAM bank in there that hasn’t been tapped yet.
