This is really cool so far @trickyflemming, congrats. I’m impressed, feels like you’ve brought Elektron DNA to a plugin. A few feature requests that I think would make me buy this if they could be added, as I feel like randomization is a core part of what makes this cool and unique to me:
- It would be nice to have the randomization amount slider always visible, rather than hidden in settings. I feel like I want to change this quite often and the extra click is off-putting, maybe it could go along the bottom next to the page buttons for example? Honestly this would be the most useful change for me!
- I’d love to be able to have more options to randomize the sequence, for example:
- Randomize the steps on/off state (I can’t see a way to do this, maybe I’m missing it)
- Randomize every lane, but just for the current sound
- Randomize every lane, for every sound (maybe on the All page?)
- Randomize euclidian pattern parameters
- Randomize probability, but only resulting in negative values, for when I don’t want ratchet at all in my pattern
- The “randomize all” button so frequently results in just random noise. It would be nice to be able to tame it. Does it follow the randomization amount? Even at small amounts, a nice pattern quickly descends into noisy chaos. Maybe a few randomize all modes would be cool, like “only sequence”, “only engines”, etc… I really love randomness when it works well haha
A few other things that came to mind as I played (this list is getting long, but that’s a sign that the plugin is really close to perfect haha):
- Reverb/Delay controls on the performance page would be great (love this page btw, very Elektron feeling!)
- It would be super cool to have multiple different engines for each type of drum (Kick etc), in the style of the Rytm/Syntakt. Obviously that’s a lot of work so I totally understand if that’s not realistic but it would be amazing
- Preset saving seems weird? It tries to save a file on the file system, which then doesn’t show up in user presets. Maybe the place it’s saving is wrong?
- There aren’t many factory drum presets. More starting points would be nice.
- Being able to sidechain tracks would be cool
