Elektron Musical Instruments

This is good stuff! Elektron rules! :)

The only thing I didn't see there that I'd like to see is a user-definable
tweak parameter page.  I think it's been discussed here before...

It would just be a new page that you could put all the different parameters
you would like to tweak onto, so maybe the kick decay, hat filter, tom
pitch, etc.etc, all available on one page.

Then you could have it an option that this page (which is saved with the
kit) is the default page when you switch patterns, that way during live
play, all you tweaking knobs would be on the same page and you can still
tweak with that little 'MUTE' window sitting on top of them (which otherwise
can get in the way when you have to search for the parameter to tweak)!

It would also help to remind you what were the 'important' tweak parameters,
I know I forget what made some cool sounds on my older kits.

Oh also an option to reverse the push-down-knob for large value changes, I
would rather push down for small value changes.

cheers
