I just bought an OT.

I am quite disappointed to hear that the midi sequencer cannot record note lengths.

What the hell is that?

That makes the sequencer almost useless for me. I needed a replacement for an MPC.
How can you play expressively without note lengths? Only stupid nintendo works this way.

So please, it would be nice to have that feature.

That and making the 1/4 inch input jacks omni jacks, so they could be ins or outs is also a great idea.

Yes indeed!

I wish the 8 track slot LEDs around the display would show audio level playback information like the 4 input level LEDs.



Might not work for everyone, but it would be good to have it available as an option in the 'Personalize' menu.

what about a poly mode where it uses all 4 or 8 engines slaved to allow polyphonic sample manipulation/playing via ext keyboard

Midi wishlist

1) affect midi parameters with scenes

2) naming of midi tracks

3) Transpose a group of trigs at the same time

4) Transmit program change messages from the sequencer like midi cc are.

5) option to turn off midi echo when data is sent from the auto channel to a midi track

6) export midi file from the audio tracks trigs or ability to copy paste to the midi tracks. The automated cc values should be autopopulated in the midi tracks without having to set them up.

7) Internal midi routing from midi tracks to audio tracks and vice versa. Then we would be able to record crossfader movements,mute-solo-cue recording and playback, parameter knob tweaking and if and when implemented scene selection. This would be a complete state for the OT as production tool without the need to use external sequencers.

8) Recording of note length parameter.

Those are all good suggestions.

On a side note, some suggestions seem to crop up repeatedly...maybe it's time for a wiki or some sort of voting mechanism that would be useful to Elektron as a design document and to prospective buyers so that they know what they're getting into.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned however I would love to see a peak level meter for recording.

Totally agree.
I have suggested the same thing in the past towards the moderators but there was not much acceptance.

seeing as how I can't sift through 85 pages

Suggestions:
1) Effect all midi parameters with scenes (seems like a big obvious one)
2) Scene Naming mechanism. Would be nice to hold a scene down and have the "name" pop up on the screen" so I can remind myself oh, this is the "muteAll-but4" or "distortion" or "delay" or "rapefest" or something...
3) Pattern Naming - same reason "Break down" "riser-build up" or something
4) delete all function when naming something so I can quickly rename and not have to back out each character - am I missing something?
5) "clear track META" that totally clears all parameters and edits to a particular track so I don't have to do it screen by screen and potentially miss something.

On 4 you are missing out the FUNCTION/CUE+ERASE combi which erases the whole name.
Totally agree on all the other ones. Naming is the one of the weakest sides of OT and hinders organisation unless you are a memory freak.
