Moaning again… ; )

Item five of the shortlist should be: trigger SLOTS via Midi.

Or, if it regards the other thing discussed in this thread:
Assign slice grid via midi.

…Triggering specific slices via midi is already possible.

ok. updated

list updated!

not sure if this has been mentioned before,

using the delay-ctrl mode w/ the reverb would be dope. for reverb freezes and blasts and stuff

u can’t load a delay or reverb at the same time so why not? >.>

“why not” is a hard question…
elektron does not publish hardware specs. thats is why we can only speculate whats possible and what not.
I think it is a DSP problem/ limitation. but maybe not…

Note sure if it’s been mentioned before, but I’d like a SAVE-EVERYTHING-THAT-IS-SAVEABLE button. “Save Session”, I don’t care what it’s called. Will save ALL PARTS, ALL RECORDINGS, ALL SAMPLE SLICES/EDITS, arrangements, the current Project, everything.

I don’t know how many hours I’ve lost because I forgot to save one of the many saveable things. Really, the main thing that truly pisses me off about the OT.

aha, ok! now i understand! mainly the recordings. but does’t OT save parts, sample slices, arrangements and everything (except the recordings) by the “save project” option??

Oh, maybe you’re right…I guess I’ve lost a few parts, slices, etc over the years, so now I meticulously save everything manually…maybe if they can PARTS to the save project, it will do exactly what I wanted?

SB-SIX · 2014-02-23T18:01:11.000Z

Why is save all crossed out? Save project does not save part. Press fn+reload after saving a project and see what happened.

And I almost forgot a very important one: p-lock program changes for external instruments.

ok. i’ll test tomorow the save function of OT… if it doesn’t save parts etc. it would be a great feature!

van · 2014-02-24T09:48:37.000Z

over 50 VOTES!

van · 2014-03-03T09:49:11.000Z

60 votes! list updated. we have three favorites:

project management
trigger slots with midi
midi slider funcionality (MIDI P-Locks)

van · 2014-04-08T09:55:07.000Z

we have now 65 votes! i think it’s enough.
the three most wanted features are:

Project management!
MIDI slider functionality
Ability to trigger slices with MIDI

you can see it by yourself. Tell me what you think!
cheers!

twardowski · 2014-04-08T10:32:50.000Z

my three favs are not in the poll

namely:

fix for the tempo detection for samples. even the manual states if there is smth-bpm in the file name, OT should take the sample tempo from the filename. in reality it does not.
transients. slicing based on transients + zero x-ings would really be awesome
polyphony. preferably two new machines: chord machine and drum machine (although in the advent of analog rytm the latter won’t happen :/)

Ozone · 2014-04-08T11:41:37.000Z

Just read all this, & would be happy to see almost all these functions get squashed into the machine.
Fat chance of, but voted for midi scenes as a distant dream.

A couple of other requests i didn’t see here and might be worth re documenting for prosperity again (old elektron users.com) are:

option to turn off func+cue. Though its great for live, while building it has lost me hrs of work on a number of occasions.
allow for saving and loading of more than one sample setting per sample. (saves having to have same sound loaded into more than one slot and would be powerful for switching during performance)
ctrl-6p style machine which would allow parameters from different tracks on same page (typical use might be as dj eqs for 2 deck setup)

Other suggestions already made i have wished for include master track per part option, flanger/chorus/phaser overhaul, midi program change p-locks.

This is something already possible using a free external MMP/Puredata MIDI patch: http://hotoolz.tk
Although it would be great if it were possible using internal MIDI CC remapping.

MichalHo · 2014-04-08T12:07:24.000Z

""van"":

Ability to trigger slices with MIDI

slices are chosen with values received from CC # 18 and triggered with C3.
the ability to activate individual slots using a similar method would be nice though.

^yes, this please. and a plockable Arp…
ohyea and while you’re at it: the feature on the A4 where you hold down any page button and reveal the values of the knobs is something i like and shouldn’t be too much hassle to take over no? I wouldn’t think this intersects with the A4 feature set too much and keep off people buying it
