that’s what I need right now…
maybe B ratios (or all of them) could be a pop-up menu where you can scroll with more precision and navigate with up/down arrow keys.
Rytm suffers from the same problem with the UI for the different configurations of operators on the DVCO machine, and would benefit from a similar solution.
really, any list that has more than 16 (or something - this could be figured out through user experience research, which I’m sure elektron invests in to some degree) items should be navigable with higher precision than a single encoder operating on a non-dropdown / non-popup list
That’s what the detune operator is for.

I’d love to have MIDI control of Fill mode, so I can switch it on and off with a footswitch

When in the note menu for a sound locked trig, it would be reeeeeally useful if the keyboard played the locked sound instead of the track sound.
I’m trying to tune a kickdrum here, and it’s practically guesswork. (I know I can hold the trig and press the up and down keys, but I’m a tune-by-ear guy, so I’d like to be able to play it on the keyboard and hear what note I’m entering using the sound I intend.)
cool, I’ll have to check that out.
When DN controlled by a midi controller it will be great to see the change of the parameter value. For the moment, we just can see on the DN screen the parameter movement but the value is not displayed, only the parameter name.

I really really really would love some way to adjust parameters by whole numbers instead of having to turn the encoder super slowly. Ultimately it doesn’t affect sound too much, but for precise parameters like LFO depth it’s currently very difficult to get nice whole number values!

You can make this holding the FUNC button when turning the encoder, but only for some numbers.
Long thread my bad if it’s already been said. Would love to have “drum mode” where you can play back all the sounds in the sound pool as one shots across the buttons. I think A4 has something like this but can’t quite remember what it’s called. Other than the occasional DSP boot failure this machine is pretty much the most immediate and fun groove box I’ve used. And it’s the best sounding synth I’ve maybe ever heard.

That would be awesome, never thought of it!

YES THIS
I had this idea last night as well. Even a feature where you can “set” all of the trigs to have a sound lock on them, so you can change the track sound and add new trigs, then set those sound locks and change track sound again… if that makes any sense?

Would be very helpful indeed! In fact I have suggested the exact same thing for Octatrack a while back.
I’d love to jam freely with 16 FM drums!

It’s possible on the Octatrack using the SLOTS or SLICES trig modes:
Not sure if it also extends to external MIDI input though…

Yes slot mode would be the Octa equivalent. On that note Digitakt also needs a slot mode (wrong thread, I know)

Not exactly. Here (I assume) we were talking about Digitones sound pool presets mapped out on the 16 trig keys which would then mean that the settings were different for all 16 keys. The Slots mode on Octatrack only lets you trigger samples live without any individual parameter settings since the settings for any parameter are per track. Only when entered manually as PLocks they will have different settings.
Here’s the detailed description of what I earlier suggested:

Ah yeah, I did think of that… but that’d require a big change in the functionality of the OT, which I think is very unlikely since the DT has this already (well, kinda).
It’s just another trig mode and it happens anyway when the PLocks are played back so I think it’s possible to program. Would be very very helpful and much faster to make sound design. Anyway, I hope we’ll see these for both machines

I 've never had the opportunity to work with the bigger Elektron boxes, but I’m very familiar with the “isolate” concept which is a fundamental feature in today’s professional digital mixers I work with on a daily basis. It’s so obvious in that context to isolate parameter pages so that they remain untouched during the show when recalling console cues (it’s absolutely no different from any other digital device like Digitones or Digitakts or whatever, basically it’s a just an array of saved parameters to be recalled). One would never want the main graphic EQ of the Front of House PA to revert to init state when recalling a cue. So on these desks everything can be isolated. It’s a flag. “If flagged, leave param value alone”. A kit, a sound, a filter, a mixer, all are just subsets of parameters applied to box’s algorithms. So if Elektron is listening…
