Honestly, my main concern is that sooner or later the F6 button will not withstand the test of time. And I try to push all buttons gently, I'm not hacking away. However, the F buttons don't seem to be the sturdiest elements of the Ren. But yeah, no big deal in the end… 1.8 is still dope!


Yea was thinking the same thing. It is used a lot, for zooming and adding slices now. I wonder if they will go with the soft buttons for the F functions

es-k wrote:the problem with chopping via a pad is you would have to have a separate mode for auditioning chops and adding chops.. i like how you can currently play your pads and audition slices all while fine tuning with q-links and adding new slices.. it can be really efficient

the work around would have to be something like this.. when you hit a blank pad it adds a slice and when you a pad with an existing slice it auditions it

that could be nice

I think it would be even better if user had the option to assign lazy chop to whatever they want...

couple more options...via foot switch or touch sensitive top of the qlink :lol:

They've tapped up JJOS for ideas so they might as well carry on and add a few more. :popcorn:

Well it's like Es-K mentioned, any other way would have required the use of a separate mode, which would kill the efficiency. You put it on a pad then you lose the ability to be able to quickly audition, because you would have to change from a slice add mode to a pad audition mode. If you would do the method Es-K mentioned by tapping the blank pad, then that brings thought into the process. It would require you to actually think, where's my next blank pad?! Having to think kills simplicity and sometimes efficiency. Although this would have been the next ideal solution, the f key method takes all thinking off the table and the pads are completely free to audition when you want on the fly. Footswitch is a good idea.

I want to use this button or that pad to do this?? Overkill but you'll probably get what u want before audio tracks are added lol smh.
