A basic “tilt” style EQ on a single knob, or a base/width filter like a Digitone would be handy - would free up the resonant filter for creative uses only instead of having to compromise between using it as a resonant filter or an EQ…
Alsoooo… I’ve said it once… I’ll say it again… polyphonic playback of samples and increased pitch up/down control that also doesn’t ruin your chromatic keyboard range…
To be able to bring a sample from the +drive back into the recording buffer and work on it some more would indeed be an amazing if not overdue feature. Having the cut, zoom and assign seemed so usefull when it was demoed but in reality you need to use those features post recording more often than not.
for example if you want to mute kick and hats and unmute other percussion exactly with the Next pattern start.
nobody would hear it besides me, but i hate it when you hear the BD in the first trig or percussion Starts too early.
i know i could use different patterns with purple track mute Mode. but to have all the different combinations i would have to use waaaaay to much patterns and also would need to memorize where all the different mute states are.
@Elektron — not very difficult to introduce a [SONGMODE] on DT. Just allow a new option menu to create [SONG] and we simply manually program the [CHAIN] —> 1+2+1+4+3+5+7+8+1+2+1+1, etc. —> SAVE SONG AS? Song 001. MENU > hold something + [PLAY] to load song. The logistics would have to be figured out… you get the point. I’m sure it can be done!
Elektron staff may read the posts, but these topics are generally for discussion of potential feature requests between users (for example, to determine best method of implementation or whether there would be any drawbacks to a change).
The official method for submitting a feature request to Elektron is to email:
feature-request@elektron.se
Elektron decides which feature requests they can or will implement.
I would love to have slide function exactly like the Korg SQ-1. On the Digi I guess you would need to hold a button combo and select the slide steps. So easy to make shit sound liquid on the SQ-1.
thought today, how good would it be if I could map sample start points onto the virtual keyboard of the Digitakt… so basically manually slice a sample across sixteen pads…
I hope they are more imaginative than that. I mean they could add new features to both OT and DK and there would still be reasons to buy both.
Both have different harware, and the harware should be the only thing, in an honest world, that limits what the machine can do.
Software should always be developped to exploit the harware to it’s very limit.
… limiting one machine just to sell an other is such a lame business philosophy; greed uglyness…
I have to disagree here.
You can keep adding features until you reach that limit, but think about what that will do to the workflow. More isn’t necessarily better. Adding features is great, as long as the quickness and usability remains.
I think the OB will see additional features like a src page with zoom etc.
It’s not so much about limiting one machine to sell another, it’s about the device’s design and focus.
8 bars per pattern would be awesome. I rarely have a loop which is just 4 bars long, so it’d be really helpful to have more. Also, this would enable faster arps on 4-bar loops, by doubling the number of measures and doubling the tempo, to provide finer time resolution. Frequently for arps I don’t feel like 16th notes are fast enough, and I want 32nd notes with a different note at every step.
