Hi IK Multimedia,
thanks for the recent update, the drum anthology libraries really add a lot of versatility! Here are my wishes for future firmware updates:
- An easier way to place rolls/substeps/retrigs on the sequencer. Unless I am mistaken (please correct me if I am), you have to live record rolls (e.g. 2 hits per step) if you want to have them on the sequencer steps. A better way would be to hold the step in record mode and push the "roll" button to change the roll count for that step (fantastic would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 16). That would give the machine a whole lot more versatility.
- A pattern rollout (maybe by holding "Alt" while extending the pattern length). When extending the pattern length, this would fill the otherwise empty new pages with duplicates of the existing steps. This is a great starting point when working live and avoids silence. Alternatively a page copy function with which you can quickly copy all steps of all instruments from one page to another page.
- The Division and Humanize settings should be saved per pattern, not globally. This would make more sense, since those settings are highly specific to a pattern (like swing).
Thanks for listening!
