Take 5 Firmware Update - Feature Requests

[Tjebbe]

Hi   
It would be nice to have a sequencer randomizer plus per step playback parameter for the sequencer with percentage 0-100% and divisions to create variations on the fly  (like on the analog four)  that would be amazing.

another question: since beta version is now at 22 is there a separate bug thread? Ive seen some small threads talking about bugs  but no main bug thread. (overview)

For all Sequential / OB synths : a backup/restore like a usb memory stick (like Roland Boutique synths, rhythm boxes, grooveboxes etc.) would be great.

Just copy / paste, would be much more reliable than sysex

I don't believe this has been mentioned before, but it would be cool to be able to record knob changes using the on-board sequencer, useful for sequences and for adding some animation to a given patch.

Where are we on firmware updates, anyway? .22 has been out since mid-November -- should we expect another build before an official release?

and option for Glissando  a “stepped” glide, rather than
providing a smooth glide

Another feature sported by the Alesis Micron that I think really rips for a performance-oriented keyboard:

Pitch Bend affects ALL notes vs Pitch Bend affects only HELD notes


The Micron's Latch button is a lot like the Take 5's Hold button. Usage scenario: I want to make a drone sound by playing B, F#, and B (octave up). Press Hold, then release the Bs. Still holding the F#, I would bend it up or down up to a whole step while the Bs stay constant.

I like that!
