1. Double tap the track button to solo that track (samples can be loaded in playback menu, is there really any sense in making sampleloading possible in two ways??? - imho NO)

2. Similar with the setup buttons, why accessing the same function with doubletapping and function+button? Either one is ok. Double tapping could therefor open one more setup-page layer. One parameter for the amp-setup-page2 could be toggleswitch to link rtrig to amp or not (now it's permanently linked) - not really thought to the end here...

3. New effects processor: (no I can't stopp demanding it ): DADSR Envelope Generator (DelayAttackDecaySustainRelease).

4. On Track Trig Edit window add a track accent trig possibility.

I agree this could be usefull, but as a fairly easy workaround it is possible to first copy and paste to another bank and then copy paste each tracks from the "temp bank" to where you want them is it not?

Have you tried that yourself?

Did exactly what you proposed yesterday, and I can affirm that doing this like that way is a major pain in the ass and takes forever.

So, I still want my easy peasy "SWAP TRACKS" function.

1.Flex Machine to have RTRG parameter RTIM shown as a step resolution
rather than "tempo relative time between retrigs"
for example: from 256 to 1. 256 would mean RETRIG will be played when 256/1 of a single step
has passed from the 1st TRIG. 1/1 would mean that RETRIG will be played when a single step forward has passed from the 1st trig, essentially this would mean that you can time your RETRIGS very accurately instead of... well... this system (as of now) doesn't work for me at all!

2.Time-stretch for SLICES!
3.step-grid (essentially one part of the grid would represent one step in the sequencer - this would be relative to the set tempo) in audio-editor with on/off toggle.
4.Option to save slices as separate samples.
5. Granular-synthesis machine. ability to layer and process very small fragments of samples
and use that as a basis for certain type of synthesis.
6. step length parameter. 1/128, 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 5/4, 1.5, 1.75...
7. Microtiming to have a RTIM parameter as described above (and maybe even a visualization!)
8. ability to time stretch very short samples (doesn't work at the moment! sets the tempo to 300 and hits the roof immediately)
9. support for and recognization of musical notation "root notes" (for short samples)
and the ability to pitch shift them accurately to a certain note. use: for example - play a chord with modulated snare hit. E7 snare chord - E (original), G# (edited), B (edited), D (edited)
with the ability to easily toggle and use this kind of short-sample polyphony and use separate machines to do so.

although i don't yet own an Octatrak (still amazed that the device is available), i will say these requests sound pretty cool!

also, any feature that allows easier use by Dj's would be enjoyable for live performance:

something like 'nudge time' of individual tracks playing songs .. (even if that is by lowering the pitch for a second) to adjust the groove during playback.

edit: as regards Oliver808's request #9.. i wonder if some kind of micro-tuning could be available - for the user to set the 'root note' to be as they hear it being 'in tune' ... and from there, offering the User the option to play a modulated chord with the snare sample slice... similar perhaps to a DigiPro ensemble machine on the Monomachine.

the reason i mention this, is due to the noise-element factor, and double-frequency factor of some types of percussion sounds, making it perhaps better to leave the original note tuning choice to be made by the user.

Saving a project should also save all parts. I save my work pretty often and 11 to 15 button presses while starring at the screen just to save a part and a project seperately are way too many imho.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but a sidechain input for the compressor would be nice... you could select the source from the secondary effects page.

I'd also like for the lfo's to have the option to be routed to other tracks since I sometimes need to apply more than three lfo's to a sound... though probably entirely unnecessary for practical purposes, I like the insane results you get from lfo's modulating lfo's modulating x parameters.

When in live recording mode, notes get quantized to the 16 step grid.
It would be ideal if the live record mode could use the high rez microtiming this machine boasts for those of us wanting to achieve a more loose feel captured from a played performance.
Pretty please.

Did you send that to Elektron HQ?

I agree 1000% that it should be there. But they should keep a quantize feature for those who want it too.

In LFO setup menu >>trig modes>>
FREE
TRIG
HOLD
ONE
HALF
and...... SCENe
like TRIG but here the LFO cycle starts when the crossfader reaches scene one or two, or the crossfader is at scene one or two and another scene is selected. Just like the delay lock only locks when SEND is at zer0.

Maybe a double tap on a scene button to latch it, make the scene led rapidly blink to indicate it is latched. Only one scene button can be latched at a time. Now you have 16 scene fx available at the touch of a button. Or 15 scene fx and one clear scene without any p-locks.

And to be able to use the trig buttons as a keyboard when in midi mode would be nice. Double tap the track button to turn the trig keys into a mini keyboard. Up and down buttons set the octa-ve. Maybe even the option to set the scale and key.

Auto Normalise .. User could turn the feature on or off in the 'Personalise' System Setup.

Good call! More stuff like this in the personal setup!!
