some more ideas rokkas
a feature which i would like to see improved is to be able to adjust the pad sensitivity better! currently one is able to adjust it between 100% and 200%! Well, I never went over 100%! already there it is next to impossible to play pads with a velocity under 20-30! thus imo it would be great to be able to adjust the pad sensitivity also downwards, like for example to 50% to be able to play the pads also with low velocity! would be great for hh, sn, toms, …
individual looppoint per tracklength: this feature is very high (if not the highest) in my priority list! if i don’t mistake, sean (from akai) on another list mentioned that it would be very difficult to implement this feature! So i thought maybe it is possible to loop sequences around their length in song mode – its actually a shame that this isn’t workin and this is the feature i most miss since the day i copped the 4k! As it is now It would just be necessary if one could insert/edit the start point for a seq in song mode! for example: in song mode we currently have: start point, step, sequence, bars and repeat!
Lets say seq 1 is my intro which has 10 bars, seq 2 my bassline with 16 bars, and seq 3 my drums with 4 bars!
so i would like to start with
start bar 1, step 1, seq 1 (intro), 10 bars (repeat 1),
on bar 11 i would like to start with bassline and drums, meaning:
start bar 11, step 2, seq 2 (bassline), bars 16 and repeat 1, and contemporaneously
start bar 11, step 3, seq 3 (drums), bars 4 and repeat 4!
... and on start bar 27 i could go on …. damn, imagine how this feature would ease your programmin!!! i know its not the same as looping tracklenghts but since the bars on the 4k are set for seq and not for tracks this would probably be easiers to develop for akai and bringin more or less the same resual! … and its already possible to play 2 sequences simultaneously in simul play, so somehow that must be possible to develop! what do you think about that?
and regarding the ability to burn audio cds! lou - peace out - and i ain’t the guy from the other forum, but I really don’t see any point in burning an audio cd at the current stage of the 4k! since there is no eq and **** effects in the 4k what would one want to burn please??? most of us because of the absence of eq and decent effects (have to) use the 4k with other gear (mixer, external effects, other ****)! How would one burn an audio cd with decent quality in a scenario like this? and what please? How do i burn my bassline wich is played from my synth? and the reverb over my perc. on my ext. fx? well, … as always any new feature is welcome but this one is really the lowest one in my priority list! therefore i really hope akai is going to implement several other features first and hopefully this will be the last and final one … !
peace rokkas!
