He most certainly did not say that. He said he didn’t know whether it was possible.
I’m afraid you really are talking from your backside here, mate.
EDIT: He actually used the phrase ‘not impossible’.
You’re still talking out of your backside as you have absolutely no idea how to do it, or whether or not it can be done with ease, or whether or not Elektron are holding out on you deliberately.
And in response to whether or not it is a vocal minority or not - put it this way, it is the illusion of the majority as people are far more likely to mention it if they object to it not being there. As for Simon saying he knew most people wanted it - well that’s a polite thing to say when people are complaining., But since you are so into ‘math’, you tell me this - if Elektron are so fully aware that everyone wants it, and it’s so damn easy to implement (by your reckoning) - why on earth do you think they haven’t done it? Because they are ‘arrogant’? You understand they are a business right? You seriously think if it were going to have such an enormous impact on their sales they wouldn’t have implemented it by now? You seriously think if the majority of people found it so crucial they would still be selling A4’s and RYTM’s?
Labelling me a ‘fanboy’ is just childish. The situation with MIDI sequencing is where it is. You don’t have to be a fanboy to accept it, you just have to be an adult.
I want probability trigs in the Octatrack, I will never get them. So I live happily without them. It can be done.
