The lack of Slides on the digis in the first place, and relative lack of consumer complaints about it (compared to song mode for instance) makes me worry that elektron consider it a superfluous and confusing feature, and would be less motivated to add a second page for it. But this is the best idea for implementation i have heard yet… I really hope they add it in such a fashion. If they needed clear language to market it, they could just call it “portamento, but for every parameter besides notes.” I admit i didn’t use it for a while until an Elektron friend made me realize how important it is to the Elektron sound, and how it made p locks and probability a lot more generative and smooth

“SY Acid” machine - a simple TB-303 emulation, can be digital, can be analog… it can probably be made sounding very close to the real thing. The 8 machine params would make for a very nice tweaking experience: 6 main pots on the real TB + overdrive + another encoder left for something outside the box.
Not exactly sure how to implement accent in the seq, but it can be velocity based.

I would like a quick way to do flams with slight changes in time between notes. Seems like there could be a way to use M1-4 to achieve this.

Soon 1 year and use of Syntakt 
,
If i could just have an equalizer to “clean up” certain frequencies i would be happy.
Mainly for Analog kicks …

Yes! This would be awesome. Entered via the sequencer + note value changes with knobs – to the currently selected keyboard scale, like on the Octatrack. A big yes please to this!
Mute incoming MIDI tracks?

No no no, this device is perfect, just play it Will ya?
That is to say ?
You can filter incoming midi data like Notes, Control Changes, Clock and Transport.
No, but it should be played (or sold).
Yes
*dumb joke *
Nah just kidding, just really liking the device thats all 
Ah. An extremist. (Ok kidding edit). This is a feature request thread. There is probably a love thread to say ST is perfect.
I do think you have to do with what you already have in general, but some Elektron products are not finished, and sometimes they do unexpected updates. So I can see reasons to ask more.
Apparently for ST some lasting bugs, and the Modifiers are pretty useless as is (someone using it ?). Quite a lot of Digitone features would be welcome, and new machines of course.
So I do expect some improvements for ST, and for the moment I don’t play it, I’m too busy with gear having a recent update 
(DT, Hydrasynth, Zoia). Feels like having new gear for free. 
Anyway it is better to play than complain !

What I meant was: It would be nice to mute/unmute individual tracks that are being lit up with MIDI IN

Hmm, if I understand correctly, you’d want to play ST tracks with external midi and be able to mute incoming midi data per track on ST ? An option to stop the ST track, and stop playing incoming midi data at the same time ?

Yes that’s what it needs. Maybe an easy option to implement could make the regular mute not only mute ST Tracks, but also mute incoming MIDI notes as well.
Thanks for helping to clarify the feature request.

Ok. Make sense.

I use them all the time, be it for recording hhats rolls and variations (which is way more fun than holding a step and pressing up/down and dialing in a retrig number), or decay / volume variations for sweet finger drumming.
It helps humanizing beats a lot imo !
You should try em’ more

Sorry, new to the forum, don’t see a “post” button, so just replying to your original post.
Feature request - boring, but useful and easy to implement - MIDI machine data entry CCs.
Right now the data entry CCs work for all machines except midi.
There are several useful knobs on the midi machine Syn page, such as PW, AT, MW and BC (could be remapped to macros on the controller device), and, most importantly, Program and bank knobs.
Implementing this would make Syntakt even better for handling midi, because it could basically take CC messages and transform them to program changes.
Makes a lot of sense if you consider that most of the modern midi controllers heavily lean towards Ableton workflow and Ableton has something against program change messages for some reason. To the point where Launchcontrol XL, for instance, just doesn’t even send them at all. And if you use a pedal, like Empress Zoia or Microcosm, as performance effects, you need a fast, playable way of switching their programs. This is harder than you would think, and Elektron could once again just solve this problem easily, as it does for a lot of midi-related stuff.

Normaly there is a quote option if you select a post text, and you can also reply clicking on the arrow below the post to point at the related post. In that case I think you can see the “bubble” button allowing to quote the related post.
And yes, some midi improvements seems necessary.
Should be possible to control all midi tracks parameters, and record / pass through PB AT MW BC.
Really getting into the Syntakt now I have some spare time and using Jeanne’s philosophy of ignoring the machines that don’t do much for me and digging deeper into the ones that do (Swarm, Bits, Raw & DVCO).
As many have suggested before, I’d love a version of Digitone’s voice allocation. Polyphony in some form is the one thing above all else that I’m missing. I like overlapping notes & long decays, and I tend to work out ideas polyphonically before, maybe, splitting into separate tracks later.
I wouldn’t say no to the Digitone arp either.

I know this has been addressed in various ways on here but I would love some sort of “scale safe” chord machine or mode. The way it works now is great for allowing possibilities but imo is sort of clunky for quick programming/jamming/performing…
If there was simply a way to disable any chords that don’t fit in a pattern’s assigned scale, one could go wild with knob turning or LFOs assigned to chord selection and not have to worry about things being terribly out of tune.
This is definitely from the perspective of someone without a ton of music theory or instrument knowledge but it seems like it could be a useful feature for most users… the machine is pretty immediate but dialing in and making the most of the chord machine can be very time consuming.
