Destinations you'd like to see added to the mod matrix

As we all know, idleness is the root of all evil. So while the good people at Akai is busy making OS3 stable and relatively bug free, why not gather some suggestions to help them further improving this particular new and powerful aspect of their product? All free of charge off course

These things tend to get abstract quickly so some description of what it does or example of what it allows for would be helpful to add to your suggestion(s).

I have two:

1) Sample loop points as destinations. Ensoniq style. By modulating both points by the same source and with the same amount, the loop will "travel" through the sample, creating cool "morphy" sound effects with certain samples while keeping the loops original length and pitch.
An option for modulating both points at the same time would off course be even better as it would free up one source, but at any rate there still should be the option to modulate either of them in isolation, say for pitch bouncing effects.

2) Modulation amount of each destination slot being assignable as a destination for any of the source slots in the matrix. Great for complex sound effects and experimental rhythmic mayhem

3) Effects parameters off course

Repitch and Stretch.

Attack, hold, decay, sustain of the sample envelope.
Each one as possible destination

Portamento OFF/ON switch

Sample start/end points.
Sample start/end points
Sample start/end points
Sample start/end points

And again from the beginning.

Akai should take HUBA to work for matrix destinations.

I vote for him.

I concur! Great suggestions!

Well I have already mentioned the destinations I can think of so I'm not sure how much more use I would be beyond that. I might get more ideas when I start using OS3 some time after I get my Key 37, but I strongly encourage others to come up with suggestions for destinations they feel might expand sound design potential. I will forward the list to Akai off course but as of now it's rather short and I was hoping to get some more suggestions first.

So a new idea:
An Lfo that moves the XY touch point (that could be on the master output, or on a submix).
But for this we would need a better XY.

Slice trigger on a sliced sample program

OK last chance to chime in. If there are no more suggestions in a couple of days I'll forward this to Akai

What drives people to harass akai via email. i feel so bad for the dude who has to sit there n sift through peoples retarded emails requesting features. imagine what that job must be like. i know what that feels like personally and its super fkn annoying. altho there have been instances where feed back has helped make something better, but not often since the users of my stuff really dont know shit about software engineering.

Akai asked people to give them feedback for 3.0.

I am pretty sure by feedback they mean in relation to bugs not feature requests.

I'm pretty sure they asked for both.
