Elektron-Users

OT My feature requests:

- ADSR: volume envelope Attack / Decay / Sustain / Release in samples

- Reset the DATA ENTRY KNOBS: pressing FUNCTION + TRIG KNOBS

- Realtime Rec Fader function

- Reset Track

I'd like to see an ADSR designer just below the LFO designer, where you could design an envelope which you could then select as the shape of an LFO (with one shot mode as an option) and route to whatever parameter you want. I like the AHR in the amp page, but the lack of a decay stage makes shaping percussion sounds harder; same with the filter. I know the OT is not really a synthesizer, but with the looping of single cycle waveform it can still be pretty awesome... It just lacks a full featured envelope!

an envelope was what I requsted, at least a decay - unfortunately elektron answerd, that at the moment a decay parameter is not planned for the ot. For me that's a real weakness of the ot since I am - other than you - not happy with the AHR amp. No good (but this might be me not knowing better ...) is that the retrigger depends on HOLD an RELEASE, so if you shape a sample to a more percussive sound, retrigger renders useless resamplng is no option when the "decay" is supposed to be modulated live ...

Im not at all agianst the idea of more env settings but what about using the LFO designer to make your env? Seems pretty much what it was desinged for.

To retrigger your shaped percussive sound you can just resample that sound, open the envs wide and trigger away.

to use the lfo for an envelope curve is first of all not a really comfortable way of working it and moreover it uses up a lfo slot... why I am asking. there's an empty slot in the amp page that could be used for decay as the x-thingy only pops up with scenes, or funktion+something turns hold into decay... or ... or .... actually I don't see that much of a use in HOLD anyway, just put an end parameter in the playback page.

and resampling is - as I wrote - no option when the "decay-length" is to be modulated, I would have to paste an infinite amount of snippets in a sample to work it.

Only one thing, 16 parts for 1 bank, so each pattern may have its own part if needed.

(see the dedicated thread about the topic.. )

That may be the case, but it does solve your problem. There are also different ways to get your retrigger going- freeze delay will do the retrig thing without having to worry about the envelope, but then you lose an FX block... solves the problem of the modulated decay sound though.

yes, there are workarounds (and sometimes workarounds let you discover new, creative things) but we are talking about a decay parameter in the amp section, which obviously holds one free slot... a decay parameter, c'mon, it's not even funny to have to talk about a decay parameter in a "feature request thread", is it?

Must admit Im not finding it fun to talk about the decay. Think Ill go back to avoiding OT threads, my new found enthusiasm for making helpful suggestions in them lasted all of 7 hours.

To be quite honest it is impressive you even get to 7 hours!

Transient detection for slicing. Equal divisions just doesn't cut it.

Anybody else think this is a must have feature? It's the only thing that has me on the fence about the Octatrack. Oh by the way pun intended if that will help some people chat with me on the issue.
