Yes sorry I know it doesnt seem a problem for the majority of the experienced users here.
Dont know what would be possible on ot tecnically.
Me personally I would like an option to turn on ot, play with stuff and turn off and its like before. ( or maybe make a save as pattern 2 or project2)
Or even like on tanzbär it starts blank, i first have to load a project if i want to contiunue something and save to a new number/name or the same if i want to save.
(As said as an option as I see most are happy as it is)
As I see it, now for peace of mind I would have to start with a copy of a pattern on a copy of a project. ( or start with a fresh project of course) on OT.
(On a4 go to empty pattern, load new kit… to start fresh)
On A4 I often make the „copy pattern, reload pattern, save to next pattern, save pattern, name/save kit as kit2 „ operation. ( kit reload on change marked)
On ot there is no reload pattern operation.
My question to elektron is mostly :
Is there a tecnical reason on a4 there it can be marked kit reload on change but not pattern reload on change?
Feature request on both machines: an option pattern reload on change ( in elektron language)
( no pattern autosave in other language)
Or a tr-8s style key combo: write protect pattern with kit ( i can jump back to that pattern and its like when i turned on the machine)
Or for me an option on all machines : nothing gets saved until i hit save or hit a save as. ( like on a daw: do you want to save the changes? when i hit close. Or if I like both versions i hit save as)
On bass station or tanzbär: when I turn off
everything is like before turning on if i didnt save to a number( the same or if i like to keep the old to a new number)
I repeat: just as an option to mark [ ],
i don’t want to take away autosave from all happy users and maybe its just a tecnical necessity for some elektron-speciality.
( or a special edition rytm and a4 just for me)
