I may be the only one but I’d like to see tempo range go down to like at least 10 as the lowest or just make it 1 and we can choose what we want. Why stop at 30 
Maybe I want something snail crawling at tempo of 5 lol.

I don’t know if it could be done or if there’s power to do it…
What about giving us an option to turn on or off the 4 modifier buttons and give us option to make them 4 extra digital tracks or 4 extra analog tracks or 2 more digital and 2 more analog or maybe 4 hybrid tracks that infuses digital and analog in each track.
I mean I know some people will never use them, so why sit there wasting away for nothing if they can be used for something else? I’d like to see the digitakt get the same treatment. Not everyone uses midi tracks, so why not give us option to turn them into another 8 tracks, but I am guessing it’s all due to power of the machine etc.

I would love a VO-6 machine for that vocal sound.
Also, Song Mode would be wonderful
Possibly voice sharing similar to the Analog Four.
Thanks!

I suspect there must be hardware reasons/limitations why there are exactly 4 analog voices assigned to exact track numbers.

The option to change how much volume is affected by velocity, like you can on the Digitone. I like turning down the filter cutoff or envelope depth and other stuff at lower velocities, but that combined with lower volume makes it too low.

Hi @Eaves. First off, thanks for all the great music and YT tutorials!
I asked a similar question yesterday and got this response (I think we’re referring to the same thing)…

I think it’s around -35, but you may need to adjust depending on what you have your Amp Volume set to.
-
FUNC+Encoder on the mixer pages to quickly move from 0 <-> 100 (or is it just me?)
-
configurable MIDI foot pedal for FUNC key
(and/or TRACK key? modifiers? others?)

Make the FUNC key latching. Like double tap it and it latches and double tap to unlatch.
Do this for all the boxes past and future!

A digital snare machine that sounds like this would be a dream come true - at least for me

My wishlist for current machines/system setup
- Dynamic voice allocation like on DN and A4 for 8 digi voices(and maybe for the 3 analog voices?)
- BRR and SRR per track(2nd filter page?) for digi machines
- Masterbus compressor like DT
- Portamento(def for syn engines)
- Multiple modulation destinations per LFO
- Dual mono input
nothing outrageous but all things that would dramatically improve my workflow and usability of the Syntakt imho

Kit Library or Kit slot per project like in AR would be perfect to me… i don’t know if it’s possible but it would be terrific.

Actually, the digital noise component of the analog voice types does pass through the overdrive, however, on the Noise machine, it is only going through it at a lower level. The LEV parameter does not feed enough signal to warrant it to be called an overdrive. Bonus info is that it is the same noise that is used as a component on several of the snare machines (where it passes through the overdrive at a higher level).

So, it does pass through the overdrive, but there is just no control to set the overdrive level on it?
Yes it goes through the overdrive. it is easiest to think of the LEV parameter as a scaled down version of the overdrive parameter. It handles the same signal but at a lower level.

OK, interesting. I would love to see an overdrive level param on the noise voice, just like on the RYTM. I think high overdrive on the noise voice allows for so many great sound design possibilities. Not sure if this could be addressed in a future OS update but I would love this feature.

After a few days with Syntakt, there are a few things that I would like to see, and a few omissions which confuse me.
Band-pass or similar filter for all machines would be incredibly useful, particularly for filter-pinging with digital machines or for carving out specific frequency bands per track. I keep looking for it and getting a bit irked when it’s missing.
Chorus, like on the Digitone. Everyone loves chorus.
More pattern options - 128-step/ 8-bar patterns while keeping the 16th-note resolution, reverse/ random pattern playback. I know that previous devices have had 64 steps/ 4 bar patterns and it seems like something that Elektron isn’t likely to budge on, but it’s such a hard limit on composition sometimes. Randomization and forward/reverse/ euclidean modes just open some really cool possibilities for generative, esp with the neighbor conditional trigs.
Conditional trig option that randomizes the parameters of a given machine on that step?
Related, conditional trigs for parameter locks that happen every x repeats (Like, increased reverb on a snare set to 2:2, without needing to fudge it with timing adjustments and eating up 2 trigs). You can technically get around this with pattern chaining, but the absence of kits means that you have to make changes across multiple patterns sometimes and it’s a massive pain.
Slides/ portamento - for acid 
And also, just generally useful.

…another great little thought would be, to finally implement the common midi hardware hack, where u feedback the physical midi out back to the physical midi in, into the os directly…

Feeling hopeful about new machines based on the wording of the update notes.
My requests are still largely the same:
- New machines - hi hat and snare, user wavetable, actual physical modeling, vocal, possibly granular and definitely a short crunchy sample machine
- Parameter Slides
- Pattern chain save or song mode
- Expand the delay modulation abilities to do flanging/chorusing. Perhaps a switch to enable short delay time
I think with any of these changes, the syntakt would largely satisfy wishes to bring back the Old Machines. Already such a killer device though.
