If I can only have one request:
- An arp like the DN. It’s an amazing idea generator and essential for a device that doubles as a multitrack mono synth. Unbelievable omission.
If I can get greedy:
- Pattern playback modes like the MC-101: reverse, invert, random steps
- Rudimentary save of pattern chain (retained after project reload) - poor man’s song mode
- Instant pattern switch (retaining the bar/beat count, not restarting it)
- Basic undo - I don’t care if it requires a 3-button key combo for a limited one-step undo level, just do something that let’s you revert back to the last state of whatever you just accidentally did
- Fading p-locks: set a p-lock on one step and another one at a later step, and have the option to gradually sweep between the two states rather than treating them as isolated, discrete steps.
- 128 step patterns. Invert the LEDs to indicate which page you’re on. Don’t force me to pattern chain since that creates weird pattern shift resets of parameters that are meant to gradually open up over the course of a pattern.
- Shortcut to revert to pattern version saved to the project. Basically like a harder version of Func+No that doesn’t recall Func+Yes but whatever was stored in the project file.
My biggest gripe though that ain’t gonna happen: usb-c and battery power options built in. They’re even touting the small size fitting on your lap in their promotion video, which makes it even more crazy that they aren’t offering this.
