Naming the Autosampled Instruments? Nice! Really hope that this is coming very soon. The current “Workflow” for that is more than annoying.
And a new Machine? Very much welcomed! I bet it’s either a Slice Machine or maybe a Granular Machine. A Synth wouldnt make sense, since the TV is a Sampler, but new Platform, new Surprises? Maybe?! 
Totally agree with this! I’ve noticed that as well. It was the same back then with the Digitakt. It had less functionality compared to the OT, yet still the Music i made with it was so different. And now its the same on the TV again. Thats just great! But also the reason why i can’t wait for the Updates to come since there is sooo much work needed to make it really shine.
For me, I think it’s the mini keyboard that does it.
Agree, having the ability to easily assign specific notes to triggers and do so even polyphonically at once is a huge improvement for me over the digibox workflow which kind of only works for me with live record or a MIDI keyboard.
@jeffroman: Note that the new step edit mode also has its downsides: if you played in live notes, you can no longer hold a trig and adjust the note length parameter on the trig page, you’ll need to go down to the step edit and change it for each individual step.
But isnt this the actual Improvement? I mean, it’s just awesome to be able to change the Note Lengths just by holding down the actual Note on the Mini Keyboard. This eliminates a lot of hazzle i have with this on the Digitone 2, where the whole process is not nearly as great - due to it not having that Mini Keyboard.
Probably a minority here, but the 2 octave folded “in scale” keys of the digis would be one of the things I’ll miss the most if(when?) jumping on TV.
Would be great to have the 16 seq/tracks trigs with that behavior, as a user option in a menu at least. But I see there are bigger fishes to cath about QoL refinement on TV
Of course it is! I‘d love it if the note on the trig page would lock all the notes by default if you plock it. After all, you can still plock it there, but it doesn’t affect the notes.
@Ciaba: I agree, the keys are nice for programming and it’s great to have the notes separated from the trigs. But the range feels extremely limited, even if being used to a digi with scale lock. I haven’t used the chord mode though, I think that leads to the same result. I‘m definitely spoiled by OP-XY though, having two octaves makes a big difference.
Ah i see. Ok, that makes sense. Would be great indeed. It does work when you enter a Sequence for the first time though. But once the Notes are in, it doesnt do anything anymore, thats right.
I like the input note method from the Trig page on the DN II. It automatically p-lock the note you see on the Trig page.
this is a great idea
i would frame it as just having a chromatic trig mode
they already have an easy way to change trig modes on the Track keys
yes midi for track mutes… my god why are so many basic features missing.
I miss that too. I expressed a feature request in that concern.
Eventually 3 octaves…
(2 octaves like digis, additional octave with trigs 9-16)
Another one : being able to extend keyboard +/- 3 octaves limit, adding octaves (blinking leds visual feedback).
Doesn’t seem normal to me.
So I guess you mean track 1-8 plus the 8 “white keys” just abive, exactly like on the digis? That would get my vote over the 16 linear track trigs I had envisioned.
In that scenario tracks 9-16 could also be used as chord memory slots akin to the DNII: hold down a chord, either triggering single notes via 8x2 trigs or in chord mode and press one of the 9-16 trigs to save it there.
Yes.
I tried that with a scale on Octatrack, I much prefer 2 rows. Easier to play chords.
Additionally, why not.
I’d personally prefer an extra octave to play melodies with right hand, play chords with the left hand with the 2x8 trigs.
MegaFolded KB mode ! 
Whoa. If this could play chords on subtracts whilst also single notes on trigs, it may be a unique feature across the device spectrum. Kinda way out there for feature requests, but what a wild idea. Solo swarm singles and chronic chord progressions.
tbf, 7*12=84 which is pretty close to a standard 88 key piano. And iirc you can shift the instrument by octaves in the src page if you need to reach higher/lower registers.
Not saying the blinking lights idea isn’t a good one, just saying I don’t think the current implementation is much of a limitation
I don’t care, I want to go lower to sequence drum kits or Digitone 2 tracks with notes 0-15 for instance.
Notes range is C2-C9.
Outside this range, not possible to play or enter notes in step edit.
PITA to set a single note with the encoder…
There is transpose (up to 36 semitones)…
Can you not just input those notes via the trig page? Alternatively, an external midi keyboard can get to those notes if keys are really needed.
My point isn’t that it wouldn’t be a nice-to-have feature, but it hardly seems like the omission is unusual. Notes above and below the 7 octave range are hardly audible and alternative means of accessing them are provided
