Analog Heat +FX Feature Requests

I wish AH had a ‘Screen Off’ function, for those times where you do want to set and forget it and don’t want to get screen burn.

Or am I tripping and screen burn doesn’t happen that easily? Will an hour or two of no screen movement degrade an Elektron screen? I once saw a screen on an Octatrack at a music store that was so burnt out, probably from being left on all the time.

Dual mono mode for digital fx.
Eg. Would love to have 2 mono send and returns for the digital fx that are independent. Maybe there’s a way to do similar with the analog section too, but assume the settings have to be the same for each channel.

please :pray:t3:

isn’t this already the case w/ the AH+fx ?

or am i tripping, and imagined this?

edit: ah, yeah…i’m thinking of the screensaver.

Comb filter (like OT)
Spring reverb (OT version)
Resonator
Stutter or scatter fx

Parallel or series stacking

midi note output for trig on envelope follower. Could be useful to trigger external gear to fatten up sounds, or build interesting rhythms and modulation from more organic sound sources like field recordings.

requesting again that program changes are active within the selected preset bank (currently only A)

or provide a way to swap bank contents/copy and paste presets internally?
Transfer can do this but a one press function to swap chosen bank into A for program changes within different settings (live set/studio presets etc) would be useful personally, but see this being relevant for loads of different uses.

Ok. Interested in user consensus on this one.

Flow held + both filter buttons = filter type lock.
Filter led flashes.

Maybe it already exists!?!?

Just done a live thing where I hit filter change two times inadvertently.
Is this clumsy fingered user error or is the button too sensitive near the cutoff?
I’m sure I’m not the first… and I’m sure I’d find other posts about it 🫠

Badly needs a FUNC + encoder to quickly zero value settings. Ok it doesn’t have a FUNC button but some similar held button + encoder combination that can act like my DT does. It’s tedious work resetting values to zero.

  • +1 to having an option to turn off the (sometimes distracting) effects illustrations
  • Low/medium/high LED brightness settings, like with the latest Rytm OS

Im completely baffled as to why I cant trigger the side chain envelope with a simple midi note. Does anyone know of a way please?

Also if its not possible, why the actual f**k isn’t it possible.

If it was possible to use the unit as two separate mono signal chains with different parameters, I’d buy one today.

At the moment the only way to do that is to use some device that converts MIDI into CV, which is IMO stupid AF, as the device has proper MIDI in as well as an USB-MIDI.

BUT, if you happen to have such device, like for example an audio interface which can do that (not all can, unfortunately) or something like the Arturia Beatstep (even the basic model), it’s not hard to setup. But… it is a hoop to jump thru nevertheless and would just be so, so easy with just allowing MIDI to trigger everything in the box. I really hope they’d add this as a firmware update, but meanwhile you just need to join the club of “why the hell can’t we do this?!” :frowning:

I was thinking I could send the kick signal into my modular then back out of there into AHFX. I will report back.

Works a treat. If you have a midi to CV module. I have a Befaco Midi Thing V2 and its going straight from the cv output on the Befaco into the Control In.

some thoughts after a short time with the +FX

all FX machine requests:

  • dedicated flanger/phaser/ensemble fx, as opposed to the special tricks phaser.
  • different delay modes - i.e bbd, tape
  • more control over the chorus, it’s currently too limited imo
  • digital surgical eq with a couple of bands (would love this for pads etc) - this would free the filter up in many cases for resampling.
  • granular delay / fx
  • pitch shifter

I think the modulation is amazing as it is - there’s definitely room for more/improved effects.

Instead of a fixed setting of 8 different fx we can have 7 dynamic slots (+ 1 fixed heat) of any effect we would like.

So for example: 2 compressors (both with different settings), then the heat, followed by 2 different reverbs, a mono maker and finally a master compressor.

Plus 1 for pitch shifter (make sure we can send only the chosen amount of wet signal into reverb if we want :wink: )

FREEZE funktion like the Blucak endless processor would be nice

in addition, I think the bits effect would be nice to have something more than the other digi boxes. Some kind of DAC controls to make it more useful for running samples through it.

Currently it’s a bit basic and doesn’t see much use here.
