Elektron Musical Instruments

Arg.  I forgot the .syx again.  Attached.

I've already sent this to support, but would appreciate it
if a list member would corroborate...


Please load the attached .syx, focus on track one, and
activate poly mode.

1. I have recorded a chord in the lowest octaves on step 1.
2. I created a trigless trig in the highest octaves on step
nine.

This sometimes behaves differently, but never as expected.

Nine times or so out of ten, the first step plays the
three-note chord I input AND notes many octaves above it
from step nine!  This is a repeatable behavior.  It also
appears that step nine only plays one note, rather than the
chord.  If you load and play back the .syx, you'll hear and
see what I mean.  The LEDs on the SFX-6 give useful visual feedback.

This may be my imagination, but the trigless trig on step
nine doesn't sound like a trigless trig.  It sounds like
there's an amp trigm which is unexpected.

Occasionally, it doesn't play back chords at all - just
single notes.

Less occasionally, it plays back no sounds at all!  I have
to double-stop, reload the pattern, etc to make it play back
the chords, but they're never what I entered on the step.


Here are some feature requests - they're not really bells
and whistles so much as really useful, and I hope that if we 
ask for them enough, someone will get around to considering
them...

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.

These are pretty basic requests, and almost feel like omissions, now.

You could upload it to the files section, and refer ppl there.
