There are other things too, I dislike the 8 bar implementation, it feels, well, lazy from a design point of view, just double the leds. And many of the new feature additions feel half-baked, like the page looping, the new filter machines, cheaping out on the components used for file storage, minimal increase in transfer rates, lack of adequate mono sample handling/recording.
I don’t want to be all negative, it is a device with great potential currently hindered by beta quality software, in a year or three, I’m sure it will be a different machine entirely, but until then, I have the OG and the Octatrack, and many other distractions
