I) As the most requested feature BY FAR for both Model products, we would like to have a ATTACK control. This is also, in my opinion, the easiest upgrade to make on both Model:Samples and Model:Cycles as they both share the same layout and therefore have the exact same button combo being devoid of any function.
This combo is: FUNC +MAIN VOLUME, the main volume knob has only one function and does not have macro control when using the FUNC modifier. Which means it is the perfect candidate for the ATTACK parameter.
FUNC + MAIN VOL. = ATTACK control
II) Keyboard Scales/Fold on the TRK MENU, it even has a blank spot for it. Seems pretty straightforward, this is also a parameter that you would be less likely to modify in a LIVE situation which makes it ok to be behind a bit of menu diving.
TRK MENU = Keyboard Scales/Fold
III)PERFORMANCE/SONG MODE. The models are obviously made for jamming, these features make sense for this purpose. They are also available in all other digi boxes right now.
IV)The 7th Machine that Ess hinted on almost making it into the Mode:Cycles with a very different design from all other machines. Was this machine put into the Syntakt? If so can we also get it as it was originally made for the Cycles? The Machine Menu seems to have enough spot to add 2 more dots for 2 machines anyways.
V)Portamento/Slide feature, also hinted by Ess as being discussed but ultimately not included.
That is about all if we want to keep the minimalist One func per knob design.
