It would be nice if the shaper machine on busses could have a side chain source set to a track so it could easily duck to a kick without having to make changes to the sequencer to match the kick every time. Even better if you could choose a whole subtrack set so if you have multiple kick tracks on one subtrack you can have it react to them all properly. Of course compression ducking is an option but the shaper works very nicely!

I mentioned envelope followers a few months ago with would be a more flexibility version of this for any track or buss.

Pickup machine is the dream.
But a kinda related thing I was gonna write a request for, but never posted I donāt think. A āpickupā/āloopā approach just to the sequencer, and this goes for all similar sequencers like keysteps etc.
So maybe this is a super niche use-case but weāll see I guess. A way to use a ālive loopā style method but on the sequencer.
I.e. I hit record, start playing a riff or whatever, itās recording in the notes - but I am often not sure how long itās gonna be until I start playing and I change my mind during the recording. With these devices I have to have pre set the page/step count if I want it to be two bars, 4 bars, 8 bars etc. Fine in a studio situation but as a live performer with who enjoys improv - Iām quickly improvising something and decide to go around again and tweak something, or jam a long thing for 32+ bars and not sure when itās gonna end yet.
Iāve come from the Ableton clip recording world where thatās exactly what I would do. Once I know Iām ready to end the loop I hit the clip again and it ends at the end of that bar and loops around. Would be lovely to do that on Tonverk.
I donāt own one but am aware of the function on OT but I understand thatās sampling audio rather than on the sequencer. Iām talking about while youāre in the already built in live record mode.

100% this - if Iām playing a sound live I will always underestimate how many pages I will need to record it as a sequence, having it just add pages until Iām done would be great

It seems obvious to say but I donāt think Elektron have ever marketed anything as an all in one device. Theyāre offering more of an ecosystem of devices, if that. Or maybe a pick and choose the thing you will find most useful. TBH I think 3 samplers is too many and my beloved Tonverk ought to have been pushed into full on Octatrack 2 territory, but I think youāre a bit comparing apples and oranges there mate, sorry.
I think youāre mistaking what Iām saying.
Iām not asking for tonverk to be an mpc. But slice and timestretch omissions at this price point is absolutely ridiculous when you look at what the mpc one gen 2 is packing in at nearly half the price. Itās silly as I mentioned.

Glad Iām not the only one, I always underestimate how many pages I need. Even if you could set it to a massive page count but hit something to cut it off when recording.

It is a bit surprising, not playing single samples chromatically is another. But it has other talents that make it a keeper.
Please add:
Possibility to toggle [Pattern] mode.
(Identical to [Mute] mode, which stays in view after un-/muting.)

Hello Verkers,
I donāt know if it me stoopid or if this is not implemented but thereās three features I would love to find/have in the box:
ā¢ āDuplicate Patternā with/without sequence/plocks/kits/presets/intruments/FX/Busses.
ā¢ āCopy Patternā from a project to an other
ā¢ āSwitch FXā lots of time in experimenting with FX chain would be QoL to simple switch FX1 to FX2 vice-versa.
cheers.

It is also obvious and natural to me to see a looper workflow for this machine, seeing that it is not a slicer and timestrrech sampler but can record up to 6 minutes .
A looper related to the sequencer would be logical .
When the settings for lenght and stuff are ready , the Tonverk could automatically put a trig a chosen track and play the recording immediately after stopping it .
This way could push the Tonverk in a better performance machine , where it is in this field actually less efficient than the other elektron devices .
