I know based on architecture that it’s unlikely for us to get both condition AND probability like the digi2’s have, but one thing that I don’t think is unreasonable is to request the NOT condition for the different trigger conditions related to loop count. Like, I can have a trig fire on 1:4 but I can’t have it only skip the first of four. This is not the end of the world as far as limitations go because 64 steps can go a long way and you can usually just do a 4 page sequence to deal with it, but for those of us that like to actively add/subtract trigs during play it’s usually more sensible to keep things to 16 steps on percussion tracks so that you don’t have to quickly update 2-4 pages of trigs just to get a persistent rhythm per bar.
Also, it would be ingenious and wonderful if we could include page loop settings in song mode rows the way we can pattern mutes, and would go a long way to circumvent the lack of kits and start to approach the power of the “scenes” approach in the op-xy song mode.
I read this thread and all I’m thinking is this is a list for Elektron for the syntakt 2 or some other machine.
To break it down this machine has had 3 update
1.1 bug fixes
1.2 Led brightness
1.3 Big update
It’s a £900 machine that you can read in this thread could have many potential enhancements.
I’ve just got a feeling no more updates are on the cards and in the future the fanboys will argue it was a well supported machine that had many updates.
Fingers crossed I’m proven wrong.
I bought this machine on release and just assumed it would get a compressor by 1.1
It comes down to cost of developing a next-generation device vs. benefit of attracting new customers to Syntakt and making the existing owners even more loyal.
Maybe they’ll focus more on Digitone II instead.
Only Elektron knows the true sales numbers of each device, etc.
I did email them my Syntakt feature request list today though
All of you who say Syntakt is done and will not get another update are just trying to rationalise the fact that you haven’t bought a Syntakt in the expectation that a Syntakt II will soon come.
And I, someone who bought a Syntakt, am rationalising my disappointment in the lack of updates by telling you you’re wrong: Syntakt will get an update.
Ezbot said something about it too in his cagey “I mean based on what I’ve heard from elektron they definitely didn’t forget about it, not saying for sure but it makes sense they’ll update it sometime” way tha has in the past foreshadowed other updates
Maybe assuring the music store the product is still supported so if the store make any orders there’s more chance the product will sell rather than sit on the shelf?
Elektron said themselves it’s not the end of the story for Syntakt, in some other words so an update would be no suprise to me, they’ve had a lot of other stuff going on!
