but what if you could modulate time per-step with a mod envelope
as in step division? As a fan of alternative sequencer playback modes (which TV is I think the first elektron to really start implementing) Iād love it personally, but Iām not gonna hold my breath that they develop that since itās really quite rare for sequencers to be able to do modulation on time per step. I think the Toraiz Squid does it.

Iāve been looking at the DN2 and the lack of FX track and master filter is killing it for me. It seems like a huge omission in a device this sophisticated.
eg. The Syntakt has this routing, and an extra FX track with LFOs to sequence/control the individual effect units:
The DN2 needs something similar.
This too. Having to overdrive everything makes the master effects stage much less useful.
Update: I was going through the manual and the compressor can be bypassed on a per-track basis, even though itās not shown as routed in the āsound architectureā diagram.
ie. This diagram is incorrect:

wait, what are these? i havent been paying as close attention to this release as i normally do
i have no idea how it would be implemented, but im thinking more of like a temporary override. it would have to be independent division/clock per pattern i guess if something like this were implemented. it would be more like speed modulation, but kind of a per-step instance controlled by the shape of an envelope, in my vision here. it would be based on the pattern clock, but manipulate it just for that step. maybe similar to like a trill/retrig that overrides the clock somehow? I really have no idea. someone mentioned the toraiz squid earlier i think, they have something similar
performance mode on TV lets you randomize or reverse triggers. Not as cool as fwd/backward/random increment modes but a start and it is fun.
Just annoys me that this is a thing on Rolandās groovebox sequencers that canāt even do unquantized recording and sequencers in the beat step pro range but elektrons are only fixed step forward by 1 increments. page loops on syntakt was also a good start, want more things like that. change step increments to 2 or 4, random step groups in 1/2/4/16 like sonicware has, etc. these features are what makes those modern sequencers fun and elektron has so much more to offer that if they also enabled that it would be incredibly compelling for those who use other sequencers solely to access those types of step modes. Honestly I just wish the elektron sequencer had every OXI one feature tbh.

Please allow to keep the loop page mode when changing pattern! It would allow for some cool sequencing options
Page transpose: PAGE+TRANSPOSE +Buttons could transpose the notes of the entire page.

Couldnāt agree more
Although the octatrack arrangers pattern offsets are very nice for step-jump style manipulation, Iād rather per step implementation within the sequencer itself
I think all of my requests for Elektron gear from now on will be WR Antrium-based
Add the Syntakt chord machine, itās cute and perfect for that particular sound!

FR - applies to all other Elektron products too:
Voice audition from the Preset Pool via MIDI master keyboard input on the Global channel
ā¦unless Iām just getting it wrong and canāt figure out how to set this up! (If so, can some kind person please enlighten me?!)

Iād love to be able to midi control the track octave setting like many analog synths have knobs for (101, Mono/Poly, Pro 3 etc.) While playing the track notes of course cause at the moment it doesnāt up or down the existing triggers by an octave.
Or does anyone know of a workaround to accomplish this?

How about LFO Keytracking simillar to the Analog Four, i.e. the LFOās speed is synchonised with the pitch of the keyboard

Shift or set a musical scale for a sequence. Eg: add a random collection of notes and set the scale and all notes in sequence will jump to nearest notes in the chosen scale.
Lock arp to musical scale.
Same as above but for the arp.
Fixed chord option. Similar to the effect of sampling a chord on a sampler and playing it on different keys. (Unless this already exists and I havenāt worked out how to do it yet)
Output chords via midi

Am I right to say that itās not possible to copy Unison configurations from one track to another? I also really donāt like that the spread parameter is now a graphic instead of a number
Come to think of it, cc controllable pattern transpose by octave would do the trick!
If making it controllable by cc is too much, having the ability to pattern transpose jump multiple semitones (octave) by a single push would be awesome.

Option to disable track buttons flashing when triggered
For all digis, I may be the only one but would love the option to turn off the flashing track lights every time a track is triggered. I know brightness can be lowered but the lowest setting is still pretty bright with regard to the flashing.
Especially with 16 active tracks at moderate and high tempo it can turn into a pretty aggressive assault on my old eyes. Just a personalize setting to disable would be awesome.

Iām pretty photosensitive and find the lowest setting ok. I can see this as a nice accessibility addition.
In the meantime, maybe some bluelight glasses or something similar could help take the edge off.

Just gonna repeat this request ā¦ I was making a āM1 organ bassā sound and even the tiniest master overdrive setting completely destroys it.
eg. This is with/without a master overdrive of just 5.
Even at this extremely low setting the āwithā version has a distinct buzz to it:
(Yeah, I know thatās what itās for ā¦ but sounds like this need excluding in the mix)

You might not have an FX track on the DN2, but you can use midi loopback and use a midi track to sequence up to 16 paramers on the FX channel (+ 2 LFOs).
