Surround pads

[pieter3d]

That's an interesting idea, I should try that.

[pieter3d]

The idea is that this could be super easy to implement. You would just have to support quad WAV files and add a page with an XY pad for panning.

Yeah, that would be awesome!

[pieter3d]

Wouldn't it be amazing if the BB could play surround audio? It has plenty outputs. A surround pad type should be possible, perhaps even letting you control...

[pieter3d]

I understand the reasoning here and can appreciate that making money is a necessity, but I really don't see any other reason to not allow firmware swapping....

[pieter3d]

I disagree. The absence of button combinations was a main selling point for me. Button combo's that aren't labelled clearly on the device are the worst...

[pieter3d]

Outputs 1, 2 and 3 are modular level. Unless you turn the levels down they'll cause gear that expects line level to distort. You can turn the levels down...

[pieter3d]

I process all the outputs differently when I use them. Some may go through external reverb and delay, some through filters, panning, eq, etc.
You...

A class compliant USB interface and USB OTG cable. I would definitely go for a 24-bit interface, the rest of the specifications are less important. I...

[pieter3d]

You can normalize samples before loading them on to the BB. That way it's all relative to the same level. I never use that many sounds though and also...

Awesome update! The filter resonance, LFO per voice and EQ are a huge deal to me. I'll have to get used to the new layout for a bit, but it seems much...

[pieter3d]

Yeah, this bothered me too. Especially when you assign an LFO to the cutoff and then have to tweak it so that it doesn't go through zero, otherwise you...

[pieter3d]

I think the problem would be that you'd have to run 3 instances (one for each output) of the delay and reverb, which would increase the CPU load quite...

[pieter3d]

I have it on a power strip with a switch. So I only have to unplug it when it leaves the studio, which hasn't happened in the last half year or so, for...

[pieter3d]

This would be a big step forwards imo, especially the copy pasting. The current sequencer is just too slow and uninspiring for me, to the point where...
