New rEalm Wishlist (+ a feasible way to megamix?)
2002-05-15 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com
- A second filter per layer. While I know this one is highly unlikely, it would be so nice to even have the simplest of filters to use after the primary filter. Switchable between two types, HP and LP, would be great! Many times I find myself with this awesome sounding patch that fits my patterns perfectly. However, once I take out live I suddenly realize there's all this subsonic information going on, that slaughters my live playing. Being able to wack out the lows quickly would be great. I guess another way to put this, would be to include a software based HP cut switch assignable per Track/channel. Or call it a shelving EQ, etc.
- The option to make the knobs in Quick Edit mode switchable between relative (ala Yamaha), absolute (which they are currently), and even better a mode where the current value isn't changed until you pass that point in the knobs range. This one is a biggy on the rEalm wish list, as it would come in so handy live, as well as in the studio. Switching between many patterns in a live setting means that more than likely you're never going to remember the exact position of every knob of every Preset in every Pattern. For the life of me, unless it's a hardware issue, I can't see why manufacturers don't make their knobs respond this way, as there's no downside to this way of working and it's far more intuitive\u2026
- A way to switch out a track in one Pattern, for a track in another Pattern, all without stopping playback. Say during playback you want to switch to a new Pattern, but don't want to do it so suddenly as to be completely noticeable that it's a completely new Pattern (the way it currently is). Instead, you could Press EDIT + TRACK SELECT/TRIGGER to bring up a new screen that would be laid out similar to the Mix Output Page in the Global Edit Menu ala;
Channel 02A: Send2->Main
The new screen could be laid out like:
Channel 02A: P:002 Trk: 04
Meaning that in the Current Pattern, Channel 02A will now be assigned Track 4 from Pattern 002, to take effect the next time the pattern loops around. Completely switching to a new Pattern would reset all alternate assignments to those saved originally with the pattern. I wouldn't even care about the different EFX types being wrong, it would be a worthwhile compromise. In case you haven't guessed, this is my attempt to give the XX-7's a "megamix mode", but it seems like it could work. Emu? ;Others?
