Ratchet on only certain steps

[OmskInfo]

But this is the Wish List section. :-) I know the reason why this sound problem exists, and the explanation is understandable yet unacceptable. I'm therefore asking for a change to the current behavior and giving a good reason for the change: Most of...

It's a mix from various sources, but the question is irrelevant—it all sounds fine once HighQ is turned on. That's why I want to run with HighQ on all the time except in the few cases where I specifically want to turn it off....

I don't quite understand the ratchet feature at the moment. All other drum machines I've ever used which have ratchet features allow you to specify on which steps to use the ratchet—otherwise the note plays normally. Having it always ratchet doesn't...

I'm happy to see that there's no need to engage HighQ interpolation on loaded samples on Razzmatazz (unlike Blackbox). However, the sample preview (when searching for samples on the SD card) still uses the annoying Normal interpolation which introduces...

[OmskInfo]

The Normal sample interpolation sounds so terrible, I cannot think of a case where I'd actually want to use the Normal setting vs HighQ. Yes, I understand that Normal is less CPU intensive than HighQ, but I would prefer the workflow to be that HighQ...

I'm running firmware 3.0.9 on my Blackbox and, unlike Razzmatazz, I currently see no way to rename a pad into something a bit more concise and descriptive (like "Kick", "Snr", or "Bass"). Am I missing something?

I'd really like a way to turn empty steps on while on the velocity page. When I'm playing around with velocities, I often find myself wanting to turn on a few other steps (like adding ghost notes). But I currently have to go left to get to the notes...

So Razzmatazz has a Line In which can be used to feed an external input signal to its output—can even add delay and reverb. Awesome!

Now, take the output of the Blackbox and feed it into the Razzmatazz input and turn up the Input level......

As BoBeats said in his review, the Slicer is underdeveloped, and this is exactly why. The fact that Blackbox can do slice sequencing but Razzmatazz can't feels like an incomplete implementation OR intentional crippling...

[OmskInfo]

I think you could just make a Macro page with 8 macro knobs, and then you'd get "Macro 1" through "Macro 8" as new modulation sources. Now one knob could control multiple parameters across multiple pads, giving almost limitless freedom...

[OmskInfo]

This is desperately needed on Razzmatazz, also as a way to allow actual control of the slicer (like Blackbox) which is annoyingly crippled on Razzmatazz compared to Blackbox. I don't need the Keys view from Blackbox...Grid view would be enough.

The tiny Razzmatazz can do all this...why not Blackbox?

I just got a Blackbox yesterday and I almost threw it out the window when I realized I couldn't even do something as basic as assign an envelope to the filter cutoff.

Really bizarre since you _can_ do this on Razzmata...

Running firmware 1.1.0. If I set up a pad and use the semitone offset to change the pitch of the pad and save the project, the semitone offset will not be restored when reloading that project in the future.

What's interesting is that the...

<facepalm>

Razzmatazz can do it via a handy In Level preference...why not Blackbox?
