Slice - extract current slice as new sample.

Mixer - pushing encoder mutes input

Trim - transpose selection, a permanent transpose operation.

An option that allows to mute a track before fx are applied. Sometimes you want those delays and reverbs to outlast the muted audio. That would spare the need of a master track.

Would love these two,as well as copy and paste that worked and more improvements on the recording latency.

silly, just lock amp-volume!

u can also function-swipe the amp volume knob to essentially get a little trig switch for bursting inputs/loops thru delays and schtuff.

Yeah, I know... but muting/unmuting is a more immediate way to improvise.

so is the x-fader... design a scene for doing this kind of dub effect on a couple channels at once and you've got a dynamic improv element.

in general i've found that expertise w/ the OT comes with learning strings of button pushes in perfect sequence. so for example you have Mixer mode up, and a crazy scene loaded. u jam the scene as your heading towards the fourth bar, then on the fourth bar switch the active scene to something like a delay freeze effect or the above describe amp fades with wet fx fade out-- during that window of delay freeze/fx fade, let go of the scene button, hit a couple mute/unmute buttons (remember yr in mixer mode) and then swing the x-fader back to dry before 1. then you get a pretty slick transition. takes practice but i think that's what this box is all about. whereas other "deep" or complex devices don't offer performance value, if you can get used to the common button combos needed on the Octa, you get very dynamic results.

i second the feature request to have one push on mixer bring up the trigs with continued access to track parameters, and a double click bring up the actual mixer pane. i love the new function-mutes in Mixer mode btw.

A "tag" for LFO's that have parameters locked to any scene.

I find it a little too easy to forget I have an LFO that is only active for specific scenes so I reassign it to something else.. oops!

Just because I love asking for endless amounts of things that I will never get..

..an option to reload current part on change, meaning that if this option were assigned per part, whenever a new part were loaded the last part used would be reloadedt. This would be especially usefull in regard to scenes as I tend to use a specific scene when first switching to a pattern/part and a different scene for the transition out of a pattern.
When changing patterns there is no way to assign the "intro" scene or reload the part for when I next use the pattern, instead I am stuck with the "exit" scene. Kinda awkward!

Oh, and more parts pleeease!

Sampling mode - Threshold, turn encoder in rec setup to THOL, push encoder to make level window pop up, set level. Now sampling starts when input source hits level set. Probably only useful for ext input sampling, but I wished for it yesterday when trying to play something in manually, also make it so that if the trig is not removed it won't overwrite if you are not fast enough.
