LFOs for the arranger mode

You know it would be totes amazeballs

This.

Scene to support midi…

I thought they may still address bug fixes.

haha yeah :slight_smile: that would do it. And send request dumps that don’t tell lies. Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.

Just fix the bugs. Looking back over ones I’ve found and some are so fundamental it’s embarrassing. Like this (samples get assigned to the wrong machine, the wrong slot)

lols, I responded on that one… time flys when you’re having fun :loopy:

Really phenomenal yeah !

As far as I can remember, there is no official announcement. However, Elektron staff are reported as saying to some users that there will be no new features for the OT. We can still hope for bug fixes, although we can imagine that it might be Elektron’s lowest priority in the current circumstances.

For Info: There was another OT feature request (smaller and newer), this is now closed, but browsable here …

Can they be merged?

Threads that overlap create an almighty mess … it seemed best to just retire one, not that it was a big deal either way, given where the OT is in its development cycle :thup:

in Grid Mode, when playback is stopped, rather than a slighter stronger red that is currently used to indicate the bar of the Page brace of l.e.d.'s when the amount of bars is more than one, i would suggest a yellow/orange l.e.d.

As the slightly stronger red indicator is difficult to perceive from an angle sometimes.

When playback is engaged, the blinking yellow l.e.d. makes it easy to view the current bar.

One of the more important features I would like to see in the new OSs for the Octatrack MKI is tempo locks. It’s painful to have to change manually the bpm everytime from a song to song in a gig. There is a silence between songs that I cannot avoid if I have to manually dial the new bpm.

Does the Digitak already does it?
Do you think we will have this in the future OS releases?

We can’t rule it out, but any major change to the way that the OT operates seems unlikely.

The way to address what you want would be to use the Arranger to pre-program tempos for each of your songs and then to either chain your Arrangements or put one or more of your songs into an Arrangement (if there are sufficient rows).

Ability to disable plocking of incoming midi data !
Very boring with midi loopback. :nej:

Haha. You again. :wink:
I have enough with scale setup per track !
Eventually you can modulate playback speed with Rate set to Timestretch…:sketchy:

I wrote my feature request at the same time.

An Hold mode to stay in Microtiming page, and modify TRCs peacefully. Quite boring to press trig+arrow > level knob.

FN+ARROW=HOLD Microtiming. :thup:

You can already turn off a lot of different incomming messages. What are you missing? Can you describe a usecase?

Since (on one project at least), I’m playing a few long stems, I’d love a way to be able to forward / reverse through the song. If I managed to stop the song accidentally, being able to pick up from where I left off would be invaluable to me. Partly why I picked up the MPC Live (which will be even better for me, if they implement disk streaming).
