just a reminder: this is the first available public OS version. Pretty sure things are being added / improved.

you’re right, it is not possible. what they did is having either forward or backward loop so I suppose you can parameterlock this. maybe even better this way - more precise?
I get your point. In a sense, its a very simple machine. I love simple machines, I dont own a modular for this very reason and I also really want to love the DT!
But this somewhat tiny polyphonic midi record feature makes the difference between a powerful device for making music in realtime and/or a machine for intuitive drums and bass only. it would be soooo easy to just allow this and all of a sudden its a freaking powerful machine. thats why I called it a “demo” in reference to software plugins.
keep in mind - we’re talking about stuff which is usual in DAWs since ages. and everything you can do in the DT you can do in any simple DAW’s sampler.
I suppose they underestimated this while deciding what to throw out and what to keep. can be easily resolved though.

Regarding not being able to record chords via Chromatic/External - this looks like a bug, and we are looking into solving it.

This is a feature request thread … supposedly … there’s an awful lot of noise on it … one thing’s certain, that noise isn’t gonna help anyone plough through this thread with any degree of patience, particularly wrt the outbursts … it’s been out a day or two and it’s very clear that everything isn’t in place just yet … fixing os snags is something that seems to follow most product releases, hang in there
Please keep it on topic …
… there are many other threads to discuss current functionality and voice concerns, along with the tedious sales theories

How about a scale mode additional to the Chromatic mode where the two rows represent 2 octaves of a chosen scale and key.

I’d like to see this along with 1 button chords in chromatic mode. It’s the one thing I’m probably going to miss most form the Korg Electribe Sampler.

Automatic silence trimming (or even just manually setting slice points) of recorded audio and saving all samples with a given name + rising number. Would speed up recording multiple drums and other short phrases a lot. Maybe add an option to auto assign the samples to free tracks.
-
A quick sampling function: hold down sampling button and an audio track to quickly record straight to the track. The same auto trimming feature would work wonders here as well.

Would be helpful to be able to adjust sample tuning in full note intervals as well as octaves.

Is there transient detection when trimming? Might be useful with the L/R cursor for snapping fast to next/prev transients. If not there already…

Id like the ability to add accent for each step.

French, Italian, Boston, etc… different per step with lfo destination please!

I don’t see slicing happening, but maybe allowing quantizing the start point to 1/16th, 1/32nd of the sample length, etc. would be a good compromise.

A slice mode would be really nice. Or at least a way to mark a few start points in a sample.
Also, is there a way to save all the data of the DT onto a computer? If not, it has to be request number one.

Nothing wrong with wanting something like that in 2017.

usb mass storage : for copying file, project, retrieving sample. usb mass storage will works in ten years and more, so it’s the good protocol
-
slice : ok multiple start point, end point in a sample

“kit”, not mandatory for a clean pattern, but it can help to decide to create/load a kit. Like a template
-
a mk2 version with a “standard” sd/cf slot, because, yes, I think, this kind of gear need this, and a lot of french people in a well known french forum, ask a lot of weird question about this weird design choice ?! So yes next time put a emmc chip, but an aditional export/load on sd card. No problem to stop the audio during this export… pleeaaaassse

and a way to use an external battery for outdoor

One other thing - a kind of “kit” for the midi tracks. Like in my case I usually want to sequence my drum machine on tracks 1 - 4, then synth A on track 5, synth B on track 6 - 7 etc. An easy way of saving all of this data along with the CCs I usually use would save a lot of time. I could just create a blank pattern and copy it every time I suppose but there’s no way to copy a pattern into a new project, is there?

Don’t own one but if I did would request what I request on every Elektron sequencer product.
