Oh no, the manual is definitely improvable, but that’s due to resource limitations. You don’t wake up any day knowing how to properly write a good manual
It does not correlate with the user experience of course.
Regarding the polyphonic limitations: (if I understood this part correctly, I don’t know what ‘proper polyphony’ refers to exactly, so correct me if I’m wrong)
There’s only one event per step, that’s true, but that includes microtiming (±40 values from the step duration) and retrigger (up to 5 per step). I haven’t tested such smooth polyphonic recording not being Ableton. Sure I haven’t tried all the gear out there, but it captures all the nuances and time “errors” very very well. I know first hand it was a very challenging aspect of the development to have a 1:1 polyphonic recording done right. Also, when using cv outs, all the polyphonic voices are relocated between the amount of outputs so no voice goes missing, in a round robin fashion. The limiting aspect of having one event per step is recording very fast trills, as some notes can go missing if the transport is too slow.
It is of course. OXI has bluetooth MIDI, meaning you can use them together without cables, but I have to say (and this is iPad’s bluetooth managing to blame) that it’s not as consistent as using Bluetooth with a computer. For casual jamming is totally fine, just more pro use you’d need the WIDI dongles for example, they work really well together. Oh well, just wired of course. It’s USB C in both ends (Pro line), and OXI battery last a good amount of hours (iPad would be charging it too).
I know USB MIDI host is on the works as well, meaning you could plug and power MIDI devices using the internal battery, like a Midihub for example, or any USB powered synth. I hope it ends up seeing the light!
(Moving the discussion where it belongs.)
