I think it would be interesting and useful if Elektron had one of those online feature request submission and voting sites (such as Canny).
Even better if they could update the requests with planned/in progress.

per track master microtime/offset
as a track setting, at microtime resolution be able to offset the entire track sequencer up to one step relative to the playhead. where the offset track retains its individual step’s microtime to cascade with the track microtime
per track tempo nudge
as a performative track setting, tempo nudge a single track or multiple tracks forward or backwards relative to master tempo. if the behavior is like having two elektron boxes running together, nudge can speed up or slow down momentarily and then resume the master tempo, where the nudged box is then offset in time by some degree.
groove is here, like hand launching multiple unsynced boxes set at the same tempo and nudging them apart by degrees.
another benefit to per track offset/nudge is where multiple tracks are bused through a single master compressor, transients that arrive at the threshold simultaneously are treated as one transient, where transients that arrive separately by degrees appear as distinct
“Last Touched” Modulation
In an effort to improve workflow when it comes to modulation, I would love to see a new feature implemented that suggested the “last touched” control to be added to, or rather inserted as choosable item at the very beginning of the list of browsable modulation destinations.
Example:
User navigates to Insert FX slot 1 on audio track 1 and touches its FX’s dry/wet mix before the user navigates to an LFO mod. The list of browsable modulation destinations should now have an extra entry at its very beginning (for convenience and yes, it’ll be a duplicate), allowing the “last touched” control, namely dry/wet of FX slot 1 to be picked conveniently. Either by a newly introduced convention or even better by adding a new category alongside of it.

Any slice machine should be able to divide a sample by 3 [3-6-12-24-48].

Ability to program direct jump in song mode.
Maybe by pressing an encoder to “link” the pattern to jump to. Total length (for previous and current patterns) to be determined from the length of the previous, jumped pattern length determines the point of the direct jump.

I’d like to create a discussion about which features we’d love in future updates. Specifically in this case i think it targets all elektron gear which have sequencer. My idea was, instaed of giving updates with more machines, more sounds, is to give the user more creativity using the sequencer. I’d like to see the introduction of some algorithmic/generative/stochastic/strange sequencer mode (flavoured like the oxi one or similar). In this case i think the code sharing is almost 100% so that can be implemented for a lot of products like digitakt, digitone, etc. What do you think?

100% agree on this.
It’s kind of ironic considering Elektron products became widely known for their great sequencer, but personally I think it’s the area where they are lagging the most compared to the competition.

i wish one could swap effects ( incl digital filter types as effect)
and by that have different fx on the analog rytm etc
That would push the product price significantly higher from what it already is.
It’s why dedicated sequencers, at least really good ones, run over €700.
I daren’t ask for too much. I’m just a rookie so probably already a bit overwhelmed by the capabilities, but IMHO these boxes already give you so much and seem filled to the brim with options.
Isn’t that valid for every feature request that we ask around here? I don’t see why working on this particular area would increase the price more than adding more machines or effects.
For every feature there’s has to be hardware, firmware and software development and support.
Do you use the parameter locks?
What algorithmic sequencer would you say is the benchmark for what you’d want to see?
I understand that, I’m not one to say that “it should be easy do add”. I just don’t see why adding features to the sequencer would be any more expensive than adding features in the sound engines, FX, etc.
I’m mostly interested in generative sequencing, for which I consider the Oxi One MK2 as the good standard: accumulators, generating triggers based on some settings, randomising existing triggers, and the cherry on top would be to be able to harmonize one track to another.
