If you’re just looking to dump stems there are plenty of options, Overbridge having 35ms+ latency under ideal conditions makes it absolutely useless unless all of your instruments are other Elektron boxes.
I don’t want to derail the thread too much but… yeah

Euclidean Sequencer please
Would be do good on Bus and Send Tracks

+1 for slicing, stretching, looper machine (real-time resampling), & slide trigs.

I always want two things on every single groovebox and none of them ever give them to me:
scale-quantized actual note (not synth pitch) targets for the LFO and parameter lockable transpose settings on conditional triggers
I also want these things and Tonverk is the first time elektron has actually seen fit to give them to me and now I want MORE:
more generative trigger fill and step movement modes. random trigger fills is great but I want to control the fill like my Oxi one can or better.

I disagree.
Overbridge exists because even after a decade people still don’t understand that these are a self contained instruments and insist on ‘multitracking’ them even though goes against the spirit of the machine.
It’s like how when you’ve got a kid it doesn’t matter how many times you explain that putting cream on their arm won’t make it feel better at some point you just kind of give in and put the damn cream on their arm.

I want a feature that will dampen the inevitable dread, when I realise no matter how many features it has it won’t make me any better at making music, just enough so that I don’t rush out quite so quickly to buy the next Elektron box in perpetual hope that one of them eventually will.
And slicing.

Microtuning would be lovely.

really can’t tell if that spirit of the machine bit is serious so kudos

This thing needs to bring more to the table with regard to sample manipulation. It’d be great if it had some sort of phase modulation or cross modulation between samples. Quirky Timestretch algorithms based on the old Akai units would be awesome. Tape emulations would be bad ass. Round robin percussion samples would be good.

Lol - I guess what I mean is that they’re designed to be self contained - they have a mixer and send effects, and so multitracking them loses a bit chunk of their operation. At that point you basically just have a sequencer and if you’re tied to your daw anyway it feels like an unusual workflow (to me).
Especially so with Tonverk, which is essentially an effects machine.
I haven’t looked enough into it’s routing and busses but wouldn’t multi tracking it entirely defeat it’s purpose?

I wish it could do live looping.
A looper machine with the features below:
- armed to start recording when the next bar starts
- record a predefined length in bars
- quantize the length of the recording to the bar
- start playing the recorded phrase immediately
- overdub, or just record a new track alongside and play the layers simultaneously
- allow saving the tracks to be used as “regular” samples
I was really hoping for the above but maybe they will implement it in a firmware update, and then I can revisit the device.
Edit: I have now tried an Octatrack as a loop machine and the only word I can describe it as is painful. I’m sure there are people who like it, but to me the whole workflow was clunky.

Those features would have me pull out the credit card. Does the Octatrack or anything else do these things?
I thought I saw that it does have direct jump … best check the manual

All these feature requests for gear none of you own yet is wild.

The times we live in, eh?
Off the top of my head I think it does all of those things

What’s wilder is buying a peice of gear that doesn’t do what you want it to do just to work out what it’s missing.
Pretty much all of these requests align with Loopops feedback and he does own it, if that helps?

Exactly this! Direct manipulation is what is missing here! Send effects are ok but should be secondary imo. And even those are not that impressive
