I think transfer is lacking some essential features to facilitate the optimal use of Elektron devices:
-ability to rename any Items on the machine (projects, sounds, patterns) is long overdue. The built in writing-engine is too inconvenient for this. I use Overbridge where possible to name and save sounds using a computer keyboard, but it appears impossible to do the same for project and pattern names.
-on my (a bit outdated) laptop, transfer only works on digitakt. It discovers my Digitone and Syntakt, but consistently crashes when I try to connect to those (Oberbridge works fine though).
-complete backup of a machine
-exporting sequence data as midi files
I have the feeling that transfer was neglected somewhat lately, with everything happening around Elektron. However, transfer is a key application for all Elektron users. I am slightly worried that attention to transfer might fade now that Elektron is starting to integrate it’s file management with cloud services (nothing against cloud services per se, but I think that local file management solutions are essential tools for all users). Transfer could do a lot more than it currently does.
Maybe, integrating transfer and Overbridge would be desirable, but I don’t know how feasible this is technically.
