Apply the trig note (or chromatic grid note played if you prefer) also for the hand clap classic machine in affecting it to Noise Tone (TON).
No digital EQ on the analog synth please! It means that it would go on a DSP! But on the sample it could be great, although I don’t see where it could be added…
Maybe they could make machines for different way of using the sample (one shot vs loop/waveform) and there would be some place remaining for more parameters like EQ.
Apply the trig settings to the sounds / kits and not pattern, they would still record accurately in live mode and would be always parameter-locks related to the pattern, the only change would be that we have no sound surprise loading a saved kit on a new or an old pattern.
A dream (but I don’t think it possible), be able to choose to apply the filter to only the sample, only to the synth or both like actually. The useless (and not working properly?) ENV and LFO on/off switches of the trig page would be replaced by routing faders for sends to the filter, which would need that the last idea (trig to kits) is applied. This would replace the EQ in a way. But regarding the Elektron’s diagrams I feel that the routing is on the PCB and not modifiable via software.
More down-to-earth, why only 4 octaves for the sample tuning? OK for the tune parameter via the encoder, but when you set it to let’s say -12, when you play chromatically you have the 12 last down pads that offers nothing. That’s not cute and disturbing, especially with basses. If no, so disable the useless pads.
Add a way to see on the chromatic grid which note was played (let says on unused green color) when only pressing the pad of the track (outside the chromatic mode) regarding the trig note chosen on the trig page.
