Oh, and take the keysync off for the arpeggiator & make it work like classic arpeggiators. (More applicable to the AK I spose.)
as CVs on case are not saying “out” so it would be nice to have them as “ins” and animate A4 from eurorack or other modular

You and EVERYONE else. It’s been requested since inception. Probab;y too much for the processor sadly.

i doubt 2 or 3 extra p lock destinations would tax the processor
its one of those most requested features (for the MnM 8 yrs ago!!!) they only put on 1 machine (the Ot)
not going to happen for the a4/k
Why should this be to much for the CPU?
Editing performance parameters could really do with some refining. Having to go into the menus each time, and having the editing and renaming menus separate is really annoying. Maybe something like keeping the Yes or the actual Perf button pressed and clicking a performance knob in performance mode could get you straight into the editing page (where you could also rename the performance control name directly without having to exit out and go back into another menu list of performance controls).
already there …

This is one that will probably never get implemented, but some sort of tempo meta-sequencer (i.e. the ability to modulate the tempo) would be absolutely mind-blowing. I’ve been experimenting with this in Numerology to great results and now I really wish there was hardware that could do this.
would be nice if portamento and legato mode was moved to osc1 page2, would be handy and there is still some space there
… makes no sense to do that as they are not sequenceable, so not parameter lockable like everything on the pages and sub-pages !
i didn’t mention it to use parameter locks on them, but to access them easier.
why would they introduce a parameter to the main pages which are consistent and 100% p-lockable, besides, the page for parameters affecting both osc is sub of Osc2, I’m just helping you understand why it will never happen, that’s all !
well maybe they can make them p-lockable, if the matter is being consistent huh?
I explained everything succinctly in the first post, these parameters are not even sequenceable, so there’s no point in them turning up there on those screens … by all means suggest away, ignore me, but that feature won’t migrate up the UI … Elektron will not cram things in at the expense of consistency, elegance and user experience … every Page 1 Param on OT is lockable, every Page 2 param is not, all page Params on A4/K/R are lockable
let’s leave it there, if you want to muse more about this try the recently surfaced thread on legato
Hi!
First thing i’ve noticed by ear then checked with a tuner is the drift amount of the “oscillator drift” is very subtle. Would it be possible to have a user setting for that? I think it can make the A4/AK DCO sound a bit more alive.
A second feature i would love to have is the possibility to “Force to scale” inputed keyboard notes without having to turn the arpeggiator or sequencer on an maybe add a couple of scales options. Nothing too exotic but at least minor harmonic…
Maybe it also can help to have a kind of decimal parameter display. i like to modulate the whole pitch of my sounds with a very subtle amount by, let say a LFO. a 1 setting is already too much for this kind of effect so you have to check the little line across the knob displayed on the screen (which disapear very quickly)
Last but not least, a feature that i’ve already posted on the AK theard : a “a la blueArp, Cream, Cthulhu” Pattern based Arpeggiator
For those who don’t know those dope plugins, here’s a short exemple of what it can do :
You can set a ordered note number for each step. Let’s say you want your arpeggio pattern to be irregular, you just set a 1/3/1/2/3/2/1/3 value, then you play a chord (Let’s say a A min) arpeggiator will now play a A/E/A/D/E/D/A/E pattern.
With that you can play any chord, 1 always be the lowest note of the chord, 2 the seconde lowest and so on…
Hope it can help!
Ps: Sorry for my english…

Repeat request, but unipolar lfo. And the option to have it complete one cycle and stop.
I do believe single cycles and even half cycles of the lfos can be triggered. Isn’t that in the options of encoder E?
Unipolarity would be sweet.
Pitch tracked lfos would be great for controlling parameters on the cv channel.
Signal could maybe be pulled from the Track 1-4 oscillators just like sequencer data can be borrowed by the cv channel.

The fork-type multiplier wouldn’tbe useful for it? Using proper LFO tempo setting,

I guess what I meant could also be implemented as routing options for the Track 1-4 lfo destinations. Give the option to route the track 1-4 lfos to cv channel pitch for linear fm of a cv controlled oscillator or filter or whatever. Then route audio from that cv controlled device through that track on the A4, and you’ll have some marvelous sound design opportunities.
I think it would really round out the a4 as a package. The cv controls should be as flexible as the internal track controls, and they should be deeply integrated into the synth’s options. I’m worried Elektron has abandoned them for Overbridge, while they should be a big part of what makes this synth unique.
