hy all
imo this thread should be kept rollin and get a sticky aswell! who knows, maybe sometime an akai developer passes by and picks up some ideas for features to implement in a future 4k oss

and whilst already looking forward to os 1.60 i got some ideas which i think would make the great part/pad mixer in 1.51 still better! i think they would be not to difficult to implement and great for life performances and i think somethin similar should be implemented sometime in os 1.70, 1.80, ... any critics/discussion/feedback is welcome ... but listen wouldn't it be great to have some freakin part/pad mixer features ...
1. 1st misc feature for part/pad mixer: as ravael already said once on the previous pages of this thread it should be allowed to have a setting in misc mode which allows one to set the knob/slider functionality in a way that the currently controlled slider only affects a part/pad only if it crosses its already set value! ie: if i wanna fade in a beat and my drumbeat is assigned to part 1 which amplitude is currently 0 and controlled from the slider and the slider is currently on the upposition it should only affet the part/sampler when the slider reaches/crosses the downposition.
misc feature: knob/slider function in part/pad mixer can be set to somethin like offset/replace or whateva
2. 2nd misc feature: pad function in pafr/pad mixer! it should be possible to set the pads either to change parts/pads or to play the sampler! this way when selecting which part q1, q3, q5 should control one just has to hit the pad and doesn't have to scroll over with the cursor (and once in the part/pad mixer in a lifesituation one maybe doesn't want to play the sampler but just fade in, fade out beaz, ad fxs, pan! it would all be much quicker this way!)
3. there are 6 qlinks! why not allow to control all 6 knobs/sliders in pad/part mixer? imo there could be two channel strips from the mixer! could be somethin like when once in part/pad mixer mode the allways nice to switch orange window button should get a functionality to allow switching between the part/pad controlled by q1,q3,q5 or the part controlled by q2,q4,q6!
4. there are 8 knobs! 2 could be used for mute (imo the top one), 2 (those undernieth) for solo and the other 4 get another freakin feature!
5. the active knobs over and unther the sliders (q5,56) could be used for assgning/muting parts in a way that 4 parts can be controlled at the same time! similar as a dj crossfade slider! this way one could control 4 beaz at the same time flyin one into eachother! when active is on a part/pad is selected switching it off it gets muted and since it is the selected one by pressing another pad its part/pad can be activated! when the slider is on the up position it plays part 1/part2 or pad x/pad y 100/0, when in the downposition part 0/100!
6. another great one (that,s maybe for os 2.00): 2 more pages in mixer mode with a decent part (presing f 3) and pad (pressing f 4) equilizer! ther is one in the fxs section, why not give the 4k s mixers one?
pressing f3 one gets the eq for the selected part with
q1 = hi freq
q2 = hi gain
q3 = mid freq
q4 = mid gain
q5 = low freq
q6 = low gain
pressing f4 one gets the equilizer for the selected pad!
... just another long post for some small 4k dreams
