Oh absolutely. I definitely didn’t mean the use case isn’t there at all, and I understand a lot of people want it. (Including myself, but more as a nice-to-have.)
My guess is the reason it isn’t there yet is because there are too many possible tracks to stream everything at once, so they have to figure out what makes sense to allow and then create a user interface to pick which things get streamed etc.
Agreed, the flexibility is good, and I didn’t mean to imply that we shouldn’t be hoping for OB. I think it’s great to have options and I do believe it’s coming (although I have no evidence of that).
This is kind of the point I was trying to make. Using the onboard effects makes a lot less sense if you are using OB. On the Syntakt, where you have interesting internal synth engines it makes a lot of sense to pull that in to a DAW to manipulate in other ways. I’m just saying that for the Tonverk, at least in its current form, the sound engines are relatively bare-bones samplers, and the effects and effects sequencing abilities are where many of the the possibilities lie. So deciding not to use those at all just seems like an edge case for this machine. But I’m sure people will find reasons, I was just trying to say it makes a lot more sense, comparatively, with a device such as the Syntakt or DNII.
I think OB2 will make a ton of sense on the TV… but not for output side as much as input side. Imagine being able to send to every track from your DAW directly…
Right, if you could assign different DAW tracks as input to different TV tracks it could be very interesting
