Got Mess today, nice machine!
The input are connected to the outputs of my Digitakt II and Digitone II.
I’m using it both as a stepped multifx and as well as a ‘standard’ long reverb tool.
Sounds great overall. I personaly love long reverbs,; the reverbs are pretty ok, although I like to stack two different reverbs to make it sound pretty smooth! (would love to see more parameters for reverbs though)
I also would love to see them update some stuff as well, here’s my wishlist:
-
add the value RANDOM on most parameters, setting parametervalues RANDOM makes every step automatically different then the step before (for ex: readlly wanted for Decay Time, Mod Depth, Tune, Filter Frequency, Speed and Semitones on Microlooper), It enhances the function of the unit and speeds up the creative process. Now its timeconsuming if you want to do stuff on the fly and you want the machine to act as inspirational device…
-
Recall preset confirmation, its pretty annoying that it recalls a different preset immediatly just because you accidentally turned the wrong knob or just want to store to a new slot and in the process lose your current setup
-
Naming presets is a hassle…love the autoname by the way
-
Show Preset No AND Name while saving preset, both please, not just the number
-
add visual indicator when the current preset has been edited
-
When changing an FXtype on a channel, keep the current triggers active instead of clearing them. Now I’m losing nice sequences while trying different effects to check which sounds best
-
Add a Lock option to individual presets in memory, prevents you from overwriting a favourite preset by accident
-
Add recall a preset CLOCKSYNC: switch to the selected preset at step 1 of a sequence
-
Make CLOCKSYNC an option stored within a preset, useful when the unit is used pure as a reverb and multifx box and make it switch insync with my groove
-
Option to disable recall MIX setting from preset, I’d like to make smooth transitions between presets and dail in the volume for the next preset by using the MIX knob, now its always a hard cut between presets
-
mute buttons functionality on the engine buttons is a key-missing feature
-
add crossfade on parametersteps, to smoothly transition between steps
-
LFO parameters for chorus and phasers please…
-
make EDIT STEP more responsive, the delay makes it prone to errors and delays the creative process
-
more Amount possibilities for Redux Effect, makes smoother transitions between reduxsteps
-
Holding the engine button and turning the Macro dail sets the effect mix level: keeps me from menu diving to make ‘perfect’ mix between engines
-
per preset parallel or series settings would be great
I love the machine, hopefully some (all?) of my wishes will be added in the next update, I feel it would really benefit the unit. Please consider this as positive input, as I said, its a great machine, I’m just sharing my thoughts…
