[Cade]

-- OK, the list is done, vote (5) from this list. --
red indicates bug fixes

1. Add song mode
2. Add step record function (step note entry)
3. Add the ability to copy chords and notes in step edit
4. Revise the arpeggiator to include Up/down, random, and scales
5. BPM LFO's parameterized by musical values
6. filter improvements (tracking, better high resolution, etc)
7. faster boot and loading times from SD card
8. MIDI channel choice per part (should allow part layering)
9. per part MFX send level
10. Timeslices to be loopable on the E2S as it was on the ESX with 1/30 of a second being repeated
11. better voice management (even when no fx and no polyphony is activated, just 10-11 tracks can play simultaneously without voice stealing)
12. regulate send level of each trigger to Master FX
13. When Scale and Key mode is selected have it over ride pitch knob edits thus making the pitch knob always in key and in scale
14. For the Sampler; when in time slice edit when you have selected 16 slices or less you should be given access to an additional menu options that gives you the option to set all of these slices as parts in a pattern
15. fix attack bug
16. Shift + MFX Send should show MFX Send for tracks on the pads (like track mute mode)
17. the ability to be able to enter notes or chords in sequencer mode
18. a shift command to hit shift+record to activate motion sequence
19. to be able to assign the X-Y pad to do different things and save that with each Pattern
20. On-board Graphical Sample Editor
21. Fix note cutoff when switching patterns
22. To have the trigger button both temporary by holding it down, and locked by double tapping the button
23. Add the ability for sidechaining
24. Add a timestretch function
25. Improve the step sequencer by using the track pad to enter gate and velocity
26. to be able to tie 2 voices to 1 pad's seq/control
27. streaming samples directly from the SD card (potentially increase sample memory)
28. MIDI local on/off, midi thru
29. a user sound bank selection. The ability to save a "part" as a "sound" to recall for later use on the E2S
30. Pads should blink in Mute mode
31. midi start for event recorder
32. replace the main filter and resonance with the IFX versions
33. a hold feature for the gate arp
34. Gate and step jump sync on and off
35. to easily solo and unsolo one or more tracks
36. Fix glitch/click sound of poly mode and pcm sounds when re-triggering notes
37. Key transpose in sequencer mode
38. to be able to program the mfx all the same for each pattern (or master FX lock)
39. Realtime voice/dsp usage display on screen
40. Fix Noise when audio in is set to thru and power save mode is enabled
41. Revise display screen to display more information (knob values, FX info, etc) - minimum waveform representation on the screen - for quick editing (E2S)
42. Realtime MIDI LFO to pitch, velocity, length value, or motion events
43. increased knob resolution (smoother: pitch/Glide, attack, decay/release, and speed) [less jumping]
44. Export event recordings into .WAV
45. direct access to editing various modifications/parameters of each step
46. follow the playback position on the pads
47. Record with quantize off or alternate quantization
48. Send CC automation values to MIDI out
49. In Mute mode press/hold the Mute button to select tracks/pads
50. Add a preference to control the metronome volume
51. Allow event recorder to sync to a midi clock and allow it to loop
52. Decay and release could be separated (for release press shift)
53. parameter locks (or easier editing of controller values per step)
54. Midi out 'osc' (not set to audio in, just uses the sequencer and cc messages [pad=OFF])
55. Step Edit should support inserting / editing arbitrary cc's
56. addition of an effects trail like on KP3 (this may solve click issues)
57. holding Shift+Part Erase erases EVERYTHING, not just the pad you hold
58. Include both motion sequencing, panning and master effects when exporting pattern parts to .wav files
59. Add UNDO function
60. Add the ability to copy/paste bars/notes around the whole machine
61. Waveform display option (like Minilogue) when sounds are triggered
62. Apply swing and groove values to the events timing
63. MIDI receive/transmit ON/OFF per part
64. Make the step sequence menu circular so you can left arrow from the on / off screen to the velocity screen
65. synced step jump so it stays in time on release
66. display the steps in the Step Jump mode
67. Visual display of scales and chords played on part
68. editable event recorder
69. Change order of time slices
70. combine the keyboard and sequencer mode so specific notes can be entered via the keyboard/pads instead of rotating the data dial
71. make transposing of whole parts easier
72. For the E2 have the step edit for Oscillator edit just like in the ES2
73. add the ability to nudge notes
74. pre listening before loading samples
75. ability to enter MIDI notes via an external MIDI keyboard in the Sequencer mode
76. When changing a parameter the display should show if the current value isn't the original value anymore (like on the EMX/ESX)
77. Record Mute on/off
78. Legato pattern change mode. Be able to change a pattern before the pattern end, the new pattern is not starting from the beginning, the play position continues where the old pattern was switched.
79. per part play speed - allow a single part to be played at half speed / quarter speed or other option
80. Add the ability to loop individual bars
81. Pattern re-arrangement software to make moving of groups of patterns easier
82. Add pattern-chaining
83. All Step Jump actions and changes recorded and reflected in the sequencer in NORMAL record mode
84. Set velocity numerically for each part; 1-127

31 and 51 please.

1 or 82,8,9,60,67

One other one I can't find: The ability to copy the instrument to another part or another pattern without the sequencer data being copied. You could do it on the EMX.

54, 57, 82


By the way: 17+75 are the same (IMHO).

By the way: 17+75 are the same (IMHO).

Yes. There are still various points that overlap for me. Anyway I'm very unsure but my numbers are:

4
45
80
81
82 (hoping that sound edits would be maintained on pattern change)

[DR.DR]

1, 5, 19, 46, 64.

(25 could be viewed as a subset of 19.)

21. Fix note cutoff when switching patterns
1. Add song mode OR 82. Add pattern-chaining
54. Midi out 'osc' (not set to audio in, just uses the sequencer and cc messages [pad=OFF])
28. MIDI local on/off, midi thru
48. Send CC automation values to MIDI out

4.
12. (if I understand correctly: MFX send level per part)
36.
50.
64.

[Steinberger]

0. Fix All Bugs. (Doesn't count against my selection points! )

20. On-board Graphical Sample Editor (All ZOOM Rxx recorders can do this.)
64. Make the step sequence menu circular so you can left arrow from the on / off screen to the velocity screen. (This should be easy to implement.)
74. pre listening before loading samples (Why not?)
76. When changing a parameter the display should show if the current value isn't the original value anymore (like on the EMX/ESX) (I actually miss this somewhat.)

If they don't get to those it's not going to kill me. Meanwhile, I'm going back to the making music.

Thanks for all the hard work with aggregating all this. It's going to be very useful information for them to digest and make decisions with.

I agree. Bugs should not be up for a vote – they should be fixed.

New features – they require some extra effort, so lets choose them wisely
