all the modes for quantizing sequencing that rytm got with 1.70 update 
That would make them an even more perfect duo!

Mute mode please!
I’m sure a lot of people sent this request to Elektron. Did they ever answer anything about it? I find it so strange that the trig buttons are useless when not in step sequence mode… why not mute mode?

IMHO it’s the last that many wants
We have mutes, they’re just in two-key combination currently. It would be cool if “Shift” (long press maybe) could be used to switch two modes: “Select tracks” or “Mute tracks”.
The thing about muting this way is that you need two hands to do it. There’s already a one-handed mute mode when you’re on the performance page: trigs 1-6 mute/unmute the tracks. But you have to be in performance mode, and it’d be nice to be able to flip between parameter pages and making tweaks while muting tracks with the trigs.

yes, so I’ve told you how I see this possible. It would be universal, isn’t it?
So when do we reckon they’ll release firmware for A4? AR was in November. I guess as the A4 has arp they won’t include the euclidean sequencer? One thing im missing is seeing white lights indicating whcih parameter pages are active on a p-lock. im realizing that is super handy. Also page loop for dialing in notes.

Since the Euclidean update on the Rythm divide ranges of time into equal parts, how cool would it be to be able to divide the tuning of one octave onto equal part in the A4 ? This would open a whole new world of micro tuning. To illustrate this, instead of one octave ( so root to upper root) being divided by the usual 12 semi tones, we could divide it into more or less. Ok … it sounds like a nightmare to use, especially because regular keyboard wouldn’t represent the actual octave division, and there would’nt be anymore note in the traditional sense. But… it would be nice ^^

Personally I don’t see a big pro in getting Euclidian for A4. For me A4 has just few things that was not improved for a long time (about two years after the last update, right?) P-locks for Arp and/or retrigs for notes. Although I think that everybody will be using P-locks for Arp to get retrigs virtually and for other very interesting features!
The other thing is the restart for patterns in different tracks when you use polyrythmic patterns. For now it’s not complete and works not properly for several conditions (switching patterns on go as I remember, without hard restart).
These two moments IMHO are much more essential than Euclidian feature.
My "pink dream:
Getting morphable wavetables would be super-cool if it’s possible. I think it MAY work but need some libs to be included and used properly in code. Probably A4 has some “spare” memory to load wavetables. For example, these could be set up instead of Noise. Noise is digital here so this is my argument.

This… Even if the wavetables are simple or without morphing or just 12bit importable waves with a bit of harshness … that would be amazing
Only god knows what the crew in Sweden is brewing in their kitchen

Morphing itself doesn’t consume memory significantly. It has some buffer but it’s in the CPU memory (as I understand this). Actually a usual wave morphing works simple. Just divide two waves to many vertical columns. More columns - finer sound, less columns - faster for CPU. The simplest morphing is a “growth movement” of these corresponding columns.
AFAIK PPQ wave morphing works like this. Actually getting a bit “dirty” PPQ-like wavetables would be great! Because we have analog filters here which can make them sound nice or harsh.
Every 1 bit make a lot of processing speed difference. 12-bit can be processed very quickly as I think. It’s just a very little fracture of CPU power that is necessary to produce the Shimmer Reverb which we have here (maybe it’s a separate chip for send-FX, IDK).
Yeah, I am not talking about euclidian, but custom microtonal scales

Got me thinking about using the arp designer to send notes out of CV and input them back in as a modulation source → tiny wavetables. However, I don’t have a mk2 (req’d for CV input) and am trusting that CV/FX track arp notes send out over CV since they don’t send over MIDI.
I was just looking back at the release notes for Rytm update and its a pretty substantial one to be fair … so I would expect (along with 25th aniversary) something substantial for sure. let’s see!
Keytracking menu!
I just realised there isn’t one.
It would be handy for making sounds that work well across octaves. Often sounds become too loud or too quiet based on the pitch, it would be nice to be able to adjust this as the note changes. Currently there’s pitch bend, velocity tracking, aftertouch, breath control, mod wheel, but it would be super handy if I could pick a source for each of these maps (velocity, note, pitchbend, aftertouch, or CC of my choice) they’re kind of hard to use on the A4 itself since it doesn’t have any of those inputs. Keytracking is one input it does have so that would be quite handy.

I don’t understand what exactly you mean… But it would be really good if we could have non-linear tracking option for modulations. Or/and some boundary options: where you start to get a modulation and where it will has a highest depth. Thus we’ll have limited ranges for modulations.
I think it will be super-handy.
“What is it for?” Then it will be possible to implement subtle changes for vibratto (for example) without overkill values. AFAIK it’s not in that manner yet… Or maybe I’m wrong?
Need to check this though.
P.S. it would be amazing to have more modulation slots for LFOs and Envelopes. Sometimes (not seldom) two isn’t enough.

i want an envelope follower as a modulation source! for the external inputs and also for the 4 tracks.

Wow, this would be amazing with the feedback osc!

you could try to route one audio track back into the CV Input and therefore find some sweet spots for modulating different sources.

Might work somehow but not what i want. You are suggesting using an audio signal as a mod source, but i want an envelope that is generated by an audio signal.
