#136

I’m not advocating any change to the current setup though - it’s a suggested addition (a shortcut) to reduce three actions to 1 - not such a bad idea for an ‘immediate’ instrument paradigm and probably a lot more realistic than most suggestions found in these FR threads

I notice it most when I need to shift Transpose (which happens a lot) it’s quite cumbersome for such an important function

even if the push turn ONLY applied to that KBT parameter and offered straight octave jumps it would be a massive workflow boost

probably the easiest way to achieve quick-ish (certainly quicker) transpose which we’re all crying out for

If you’re not adverse to using a DAW with your gear, you can make slides (or whatever) automating the OB VST.

Have you used the MC-101 or 707? They have this nice keyboard layout on the buttons, the top corner buttons act as octave transpose keys. I’d love to see something similar on the models tbh - just limit the chromatic keys to 12 semitones and use the remaining 4 creatively to add octave switches and you even have two extra buttons remaining that could be used for something cool…

I can…model:cycles :wink:

#141

Quite innovative, that I can agree with…:sweat_smile:

#142

Is there a way to redirect the lfos to other tracks? I would preffer to do it internally or at least via midi loop.

To make 1 track drone with 6 LFOs delay and reverb or 2 drones with 3 LFOs and delay with individual out.

I would choose this config for external mixing, reverb always leaks to the opposite output even if hard panned , delay does not

No.

But you can p-lock the whole first LFO page, including destinations.

that was quick - they just announced something quite similar in os 1.12 !! :wink:

it will now push-turn through steps of 12 :thup: once in that. menu, so it kinda blows my broader FR out the window as this happens inside that menu

but the same process could be improved if the push-turn went straight into value adjustment, so I will still submit a FR, but this helps a lot

#145

Fn Twisting e.g. Pitch is geared very slowly indeed for semitone hops - it’s even slower if you turn fast

by contrast when dealing in cents the encoder can be swept full range in one go

not possible to get more than a few semitones when sweeping with FN held - it seems super slow, even to achieve control, plus odd that faster Fn turning should be so tardy

FR is improved faster/accelerated Fn twist gearing

@Ess pls can you add a way to control all, mess around with various parameters and for it to return to original values on release?

From another discussion via @movement / @finalform… maybe it could be a different button combo or a global/per pattern setting?

Not on release of the CTRL ALL Button but by reloading the pre-saved Pattern (but I guess you knew this).

Feature request?

yeah, I think it shouldn’t be too hard to implement - ill pop in a request

Don’t think I’d want that, personally. That’s only one use case for control-all, it’s quite possible that you’d want to make one change, do other stuff (muting, adding/removing trigs, etc), make another control-all change, etc etc, before reloading the pattern.

Yeah, could be a per pattern setting I guess.

#155

MD is still king in that department: the super swift function+mode combo. So easy because they are next to each other and isolated from other buttons. The reload kit combo on AR is way more tricky. Far from each other and surrounded by other buttons to get confused with. Not comfy to do with one hand.

Yeah I agree, I often use ctrl all for zeroing track level to then individually set mix levels, so it would be unhelpful if it reverted when releasing the button.

I guess in some instances it could be handy though.
