No 2 is probably coming too.
No 1 unfortunately not. Definitively No1 on my list along with the trigging of slots from a pad controller/keyboard.

Two ideas from my side:

1) "Function + Trig" to assign the slot/slice corresponding to the trig in slot/slice mode to the current track, like track selection on the MD. I press this combo frequently, but nothing happens this would be even more useful on the OT than it is on the MD, because of the length of sample/slice lists.

2) 2-dimensional recording of pitch/slot/slice p-locks: Playing samples melodically via MIDI keyboard and a the same time selecting samples via trig buttons in slot mode. Currently, when a key on the keyboard and a trig button on the OT are pressed at once, the sample p-lock "dominates" and pitch coming from the MIDI keyboard is ignored. I would be happy when both incoming data would be saved to the recorded trigs. This would be great to record several melodies with different one-shot samples into the same track instead of just C notes.

Other prio1 wishes on my list (mentioned by others already):
- merge samples --> save sample slots without need of a computer
- support for a controller like novation launchpad

I wonder if it would be an architecture issue of the OT why no.1 would not be possible. ?

I don't think so, because it's just a p-lock as when playing melodies.

I don't know if its possible. I just know its not coming now. Ask Electron as a request for it to have more shares as a request.
The 2-dimensional recording is also one feature that sould definetely be there some time. I've asked the Electron team for it already.
My idea was to have locked state keyboard. There would be a recording mode where you could have for e.g locked a certain parameter or more. So having Sample locking and then playing the chromatic mode, the trigs would have the pitch and the sample slot info locked. This eliminates the need to have different parts for simple things like playing a different sample with different amp settings.

'' 'tempo+play' combo to reset in realtime''

Cool idea!!!

yes!

8 or 16 outputs

how about USB connects to a hardware multichannel interface, like an RME, for 8 outputs. ok sorry to hijack the thread with the impossible.

little thing close to what we allready have, but would have good impact

FB-pitchdelay
= the pitchshift incorporated into the feedback path
also FB-filterdelay

+1 for this and a few more fx algorithms in general ...

e.g.

vocoder
reverse delay

+ 1
A vocoder fx could be a really cool tool for making two tracks interact - e.g. using a synth track as the carrier and a drum track as the modulator.

Side chain compression would also be a nice tool for making tracks interact...

+1 and +1 both are great ideas. sidechaining would prob solve lots of mix issues for us and a vocoder is always a welcome processor.
