I’d love to have an FX that increments a step on each incoming note.
That could be a step sequencer with editable stages, it could be awesome as an automation lane. Even with only 8 stages it would be very useful.
But even a very simple counter would be great. I would use it to do round-robin voice allocation in conjunction with the “OUTPUT” FX.
(BTW, is it the intended use for this FX ? I’ve used it to randomly distribute notes on different instruments, it’s great).
Random output note to other channel? LFO switch on and off the output fx? How did you do it?
I use a LFO in random and target the output channel, then set offset and range to taste. It’s quite good.
Random is fine sometimes, but usually I prefer a static sequence of channels.
This is a really clever idea, i can also mute the note to the original channel while doing it? That would be the consume setting - irc from the manual. (Stil learning.) I only used it to layer sounds - but the random replace is very good use case.
It propels it to a Abelton rack selector method this way. (If it had been mentioned in this way in the manual, it would have been a little more obvious.)
Ideally that could work in a drum track aswell, to select different track samples. (Didnt use the drum tracks yet, because currently the electron sequencer does this.) But i imagine that could be very very flexible. (I.e. or rythm is played from a different instrument, which is the alternating between a synth, and a sample etc.)
I would love to see more dynamic/algorithmic/functional sort of control.
Things like increment, decrement, skip, multiply, etc…
For now I am just hoping they implement the request to make custom LFO shapes using something similar to the automation sequences. My suggestion was to make shift+automation go to an LFO drawing section. Being able to draw in stepped shapes instead of smoothed/interpolated ones would help a lot - for things like this, a stepped ramp would work…
There are also many cases where it would be ideal to have different paramater scales than just 0-127. e.g. being able to work in time-synced parameters only, being able to work in scale degrees only, etc.
I’m all for more mathsy/programmy kind of effects and functions. increment, scale, offset, limit min/max, filter, add 2 CC values, etc… ‘modulate’ instead of ‘set absolute value’ too. (you can kind of do it with LFO offset, but then have to update the offset when you want to change the original base value)
This is a great idea, would make it a bit like NE mimetic digitalis which is great for stepped parameter changes that build rhythm. Would be so handy on midi though!
Yeah, that’s basically a sequencer !
But increments are also good.
Yeah a step function for the LFO would be great indeed!
Yeh, it’s a sequence, except you can modulate the depth and speed.
