[Monomachine] Feature Requests

2007-05-06 by Niall Munnelly

Hello,

With my quarterly free weekend comes my quarterly feature
request list for the Monomachine.  There are some old ones
and new ones, here.

1. Adding a two or three second "live" status to the A-H
banks, as found on the Machinedrum. I really got spoiled by
this, being able to select on a bank+pattern with one hand.
You often have to use two hands with the Monomachine,
because the bank keys are only momentary.

2. A faster way to navigate through pages, especially kits.
Right now, only up and down work. Using the left and right
arrow keys to jump up and down a full page would be a boon
for the Mono and the Machinedrum, too.

3. A record overdub mode, which would be very useful in
polyphonic playback. In mono mode, the sequencer could still
favor the first note struck, but you wouldn't be forced to
enter a chord every time you wanted one. This would be ideal
for creating harmonies and such in polyphonic playback.

4. Trigless trigs in MIDI tracks send note-off.

5. Some kind of panic/all notes off function.  Maybe
function + exit/no?  In record mode, it sends all notes off
on the armed track, and when record is not enabled, it sends
all notes off on all tracks.

6. Permanently apply transposer values to a track and/or
pattern: shift the notes by however many semitones and reset
traspose to zero.


...and one question - how many notes can one have in a
pattern?  How about a step?  I hit max notes on two patterns, but they're not
especially busy.

Yours,
Niall.
