sure, i’ll probably add that functionality on the next release by next week. keep tuned and let me know if you find any more bugs or improvements to be added!
the hardware has been going under development before Vekte and the codebase is largely shared, but it’s a different beast in terms of development complexity, not only on the obvious physical manufacturing side, but also because the codebase for embedded systems is far more complex, the UI has a totally different approach with its own challenges (no dropdown menus to make life easier haha)
Here are a couple of videos of the manufacturing process of the prototype so far and a couple of shots of the box.

And a render of the finalised machine, as planned:
When Vekte is finally launched commercially mid August, alongside the upcoming Tresse VST synth (news about that Beta next week), i’ll get back to work on the hardware
thanks for the feedback!

Something like a right click to lock parameter from being adjusted by algo – e.g density

if you want to try them out together, i’ve just released the beta for my synth Tresse
Parallel to the Vekte Algorithmic sequencer Beta testing, here is now Tresse, a simple but powerful 39-engine, 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer.

[TRESSE_1_1_0]
39 engines — 24 Mutable Instruments Plaits-inspired engines (FM, wavetable, additive, granular, speech, chords, resonators, drums) plus 15 custom engines by Våld Labs: Karplus-Strong, bytebeat, formant, modal resonators, sympathetic strings, supersaw, drawbars, a multi-waveform FM engine and more.

Here it is, 1.1.9 Beta
VIDEO
Ratchet, Note Div, Pitch mod targets
MIDI Learn / CC assign (all knobs + algo P1–P4)
Per-control, algo, and per-P Lock
Keyboard select + arrow nudge (knobs + dropdowns)
Retrigger on start / seek / loop into a note
Immediate OCT / BASE / SCALE re-pitch
TIE real legato — ends at next note’s onset
STRUM respects TIE
HUMN timing jitter on mod lanes; SWNGLCK → SWLCK
Init / blank channel + Song Init
Rebuilt header bar (logo, live BPM, action grid, Manual link)
CHAOS moves OCT / HUMN / SWING; chord mod can reach “no chord”
Slot indicator rework (transport width, chord-voice brightness)
BASE shows note names (C, C#…)
3 P0 determinism fixes (bar-6 skip, step-edit offset, Steps→Dense misroute)
Stuck-note fixes (TIE + ratchet + strum + humanize)
Ratchet-dead, STRUM-silent-under-TIE, ROT/AUTO-under-HUMN fixes
DENSE knob ceiling, playhead-window, context-menu fixes
Lots of bugfixes
Synth is also Våld Labs, upcoming Sunua Modal Synth
