Yes. The Volume knob for the Main Level, thanks.

Since this has thread has become sticky i am resubmiting my already placed in other threads FRs

1) Add shortcut for track soloing without getting in the mixer(eg function+cue+track)

2) When changing scale mode from normal to per track maintain each tracks settings and
not revert to 16 steps for all tracks but set instead the master length according to the current settings or according to the settings of the longest track that has been pasted.

3) Add the option when saving as new to copy all samples to the project folder or to a
folder in the audio folder which has the same name as the project folder.

4) Enhance the audio editor with the following (basic) functions
i) change sample gain(+- 3 db)
ii) change sample pitch (-12 to +12 semitones maintaing samples length or not)
iii) Ability to concatenate audio files to make longer recordings more possible without
using a copmuter

5) Ability to save/load track/fx settings.

6) Ability to loop directly segments of the arrangement without having to go to edit mode
to achieve that.
7) Copy a bank to another bank(you can do that from computer!!)
8) Option to Copy pattern along with part settings.
9) One click to save all recorder buffesr as new files and asign them even with automatic names.
10) Ability to play all loaded samples of a machine from midi and at the same time parameter lock them in the sequence.(no brainer for me!!!). This also aplies for sliced samples.
11)Perform slicing without using slices.
To be more specific. Lets assume that we have a one bar loop. I would like to have a function that places sample trigs equally spaced from each other. The number of the trigs would also also determine their sample start value.
If I choose 4 trigs the result would be a trig in step 1 with smpstr 0, a trig in step 5 with smpstart 32, a trig on step 9 with smpstr 64 and a trig on step 13 with smpstr 96.
If the loop was 2 bars the trigs would be on 1,9,17 and 25 with smpstr values 0,32,64 and 96 accordingly again. i think this is a very easy algorithm to implement but again I might be wrong. This way we could have equally spaced slices placed on the sequence without getting into the audio editor. That would be so charming.

12)Perform certain operation to specific parameter locks of all trigs. For example raise the pitch for all trigs +3 relatively. Or lower the volume, the filter cutoff, etc.... by a relative value.

13)Randomise the position of the all existing trigs of a track.

14)Reapeat a chosen sequence of exising trigs throughout the length if the pattern.(this could be done from the pattern page auto copy when you extend the patten when this finally gets implemented).

15)Maintain the original position of the trigs when you change the speed of a track. I find myself placing trigs on a track and i want to go from a 16 step track to a more detailed 32 step track. I can do that easily by setting the speed to 2x but my trigs now get double speed. Or the other way around when you want to make your already captured pattern longer from 4 bars to 8 bars by setting the speed to 1/2X, again the trigs get half speed. The coolest thing would to have an option about maintaing the actual position of the already placed trigs.

Refined (expanded) list of my suggestions in no particular order:

1-p-lock or otherwise save mutes / solo / cue with pattern

2-start LFO's with sequencer

3-Swapping banks between projects, including all sample slots which would auto populate empty slots in the project (I'm gonna go nuts if I cant mix and match my projects!)

4-collect or copy all samples used in a project to a specific folder (essential!)

5-quantize pattern change independant of master scale (yep, waiting for 256 steps for a pattern to change when playing live can be a real bitch!)

6-pattern chains saved with project (would be "nice")

7-midi recallable scenes and scene selection sends midi(every realtime playable aspect of the OT should be recordable and sequencable/MIDI mappable from a DAW for ultimate studio integration! So close but so far.)

8a-"bounce in place" to automatically convert a Flex track to a Static track, pre or post FX (lazy man luxury feature)

8b- bounce all selected tracks to one static or flex track without setting up a record track + initialize source tracks

9-FX bus functionality to process multiple tracks with the Neighbor Machine (would make the Neighbor Machine so much more!)

10-LFO to sample slot (could use the LFO designer to for example trigger 8 four bar loops sequentially on just one track while maintaining 64 step trig resolution for each 4 bar sample)

11- filter on every track PLUS two FX (pressing FX1 + FX2 opens the filter editor)

12- able to scene lock at least some midi parameters even if it is a limited number of parameters or requires stealing from some midi LFO's

13a- poly mode where additional incoming midi voices are automagicly sent to the next track

13b- sample triggering via external midi uses the AMP Hold and release to determine the decay characteristics of longer samples when the midi off is received

14- transient shaper FX (ie: Schaack Transient Shaper or similar concept)

16- fixed filter bank FX (yum!)

15- Abilty to pause and start sequencer quantized to absolute bar postion of incoming midi clock (ie: can load a project and start perfectly on beat to incoming clock!)

16- master track Playback and Amp pages just like every other track! (hello master pitch!? etc) (perhaps the master tack would have a fixed transient shaper instead of AMP?)

17- better timestrech sound for LF content (meh!)

18- auto slice to transient and/or microfades. (clicks are no fun!)

19-lock patterns to scenes (why not?)

20-some way to realtime beatmatch and dj mix two crappy mp3's together on one OT.. (for boring uninspired rainy days)

Also a +1 to a lot of the other suggestions here..

that should kep me dreaming for a while

+1000 for the No brainer FRs numbered:

1,2(wtf, where is my synced lfo???),7,8,9,13b and 19.
Regarding 13b they should add the option of translating velocity to VOL plocks.
Min and max values of the VOL parameter should be determined before midi recording.

Maybe I'm not getting it yet (very possible since this machine is so deep) but an auto-normalize feature would be great when trying to use the OT in a live-looping situation. I still can't get the levels correct all the way through for some reason and it seems to change drastically depending on the source I'm using.

I think some more live-looping mojo is forthcoming unless I read into things wrong but here's hoping for it - less configuration and more simple push a button and begin recording, change tracks, push a button and begin recording another loop. Would love more instantaneous capabilities for this while playing another instrument.

Thanks!

When holding a scene button down I really like the way the LED's light up so you can see what parameter pages have locks on them.

Would be great to have the same thing on the 5 track parameter LED's for trig p-locks.

Yep I agree this has been left out without a real cause I suppose since its the same feature as scenes.
They should definately do this.
Wow there really is a lot to happen to refine the machine.
Personally I wouldnt be interested in new features. I just want the machine to work with the current set of features but much more improved according to the already expressed public's will through the FRs.

Hi all !

Tons of really cool suggestions here, that I'd like very much to see implemented.

One thing I'd really like to see is a wider range to the pitch control. I really don't understand why we are only able to pitch one up/down octave ?

I'd prefer it like this...
The Pitch parameters range is [-63, 63], without the 0.2 steps in between. When pressing function the PTCH knob changes to CENT which would be a completely different parameter. This would give several octaves of pitch + the ability to fine tune to a much greater extent. Backward compatibility could be achieved thru a version check that would autoset both params (PTCH,CENT) based on the old value (i.e. if it was saved with a PTCH value of 1.4 it would be converted to PTCH:1, CENT:40) -another not as cool way, would be another parameter in the personalize menu.

Scale per track should work different too I think. The reset param should also be on a pr. track basis, and it should allow INF as a possible value. Where the Master Reset parameter is currently found I'd like another value defining at what points a pattern change is performed, if INF it will only happen when all the pattern startpoints collide. The main problem is that if you need polyrhytm the Master Reset needs to be high, but when it's set to something like 512 you need to wait really long before the patternchange is performed -which is a real drag !

Before theese my first wishes are:
1. Consolidate project to folder !! (essential, and not that hard to implement) It sould have an option to include/exclude the recorder-buffers.
2. Static recording !!!
3. Algorithmic techniques: random order trigs, a param for probability for random step selection, stutter prob, reverse prob.
4. Ability to audition a single trig. If you hold down a trig to set a parameter lock it would be cool it you could audition that particular trig by pressing a button, it could be [UP] since it's are doing the same thing as [DOWN] currently, and it's easy to find.
5. Finish the LOOPER Machine... can't wait for some better looping - obviously with overdubbing possibilities.
6. A way to Audition audiofiles without going thru track effects would be nice. [FUNCTION+NO] & [CUE+NO]

+ 1 For all of the most popular in the recent lists!

Best, Hjalte

1. Static recording
2. Better sampling workflow that auto saves without menu diving
3. Bank copy .. Incl to another project
4. Live arranger record incl changes in parts/scenes
5. Solo/cue/mutes per pattern
6. Looper machine
7. Polyphonic mode
8. Better file management
9. Personalization of the volume knob to switch to main out
10. Amp settings viewable in the audio editor for a better visual without the guess work!

That's my top 10 in no particular order

If track 8 is set as Master:

On the first (now unused) encoder-/editpage (playback) assigning any of the encoders to any parameter of tracks 1 to 7, like in midimode the two midicontroll pages for external midigear. It will be lots of parameter scrolling but ...
