[A6] Bugs & Feature Requests list

[MoogulatoR.com]

you are right..
so it is like (hope thats better):

non bugs / wishlist
1) quick transpose  (double click = 1 oct down, one short click= one 
oct up..)
2) lfo faster via process menu ..
method: less voices, silly lfo mode
3) display update
4) real time record for sequencer and electribe kind of input mode..
5) ring mod source post filter and osc (another routing).. maybe not 
possible?
6) filter2 resonance scaling (should start the "colouring" at 12:00 
position.. not just the last fifth.. ;)
7) hold button or shortcut (hold pedal) similar to sequencer "latch
8) FM tuning more accurate (KB scaling should not be affected)
9) filter FM to be set separately ..  so no offset of FM on filter 2 
but a real OSC FM amount to filter..
10) use of LFO as one shot "mini ENV".. (frees up an env to be used as 
a faster lfo) ;)


to remove bugs is first priority..

btw: is is really possible to come true? since no one of the a6 team 
works at alesis?
especially a rack or 3-oct live-a6 keyboard may not work without those 
people (don't forget an up/down transpose funtion then.. much better 
than a "transpose" ..)

hardware wishes:
-a smaller version with 3 oct keyboard and smaller knobs..
no need for a "hartmann" design then.. just do it ;)
why? live on stage it is better for room reasons..
but please to not leave out the knobs..!! no "micro Q" solution!!!

I do not believe in a hardware upgrade like faster processor or the 
like..

someone told us there could be a chance to get the lfos go up 10hz.. 
that would be much better.. not perfect but much much much better.. 
even i a get shot here.. the lfo speedup is the greatest wish.. see the 
jupiter4 for "reference" ;)
