Feature request: Performance mode - Ability to map more than 4 parameters to each macro (16 ideally)

Hardware NGEN
1

System

  • NGEN Hardware Version: v1.1 (batch #2)
  • NGEN Firmware Version: v1.3.0
  • Related feature: Performance mode

Steps

  • Go to Perform menu, look for Octave setting
  • Press ENCODER to edit Macro 1
  • Press ENCODER to edit Param #
  • Turn ENCODER to go through Param # values

Observed

  • Param # values are: 1,2,3,4
  • Meaning not possible to map more than 4 parameter to a macro

Expected

  • It would be useful to be able to map more than 4 parameter to a macro
  • Ability to map up to 16 parameter on a macro would be ideal, as there are 16 tracks: It would make it possible to control the same parameter with all tracks and generators using one single knob

Currently the main reason for this limitation (and for the number of patterns as well) is project file size but hopefully the recent optimizations I’ve made in 1.3 and 1.4 will reduce loading times enough that I can compensate for larger file sizes in the future.

1.4 will introduce some optimizations for Generators specifically to improve loading times and if all goes well the plan is to implement these optimizations for other areas in order to expand these limitations.

I will add this to my list so I can hopefully address it in 1.5.

Excellent !

No rush \o/

It’s not so critical but I would definitely use macros more if they were able to map more params.

8 could be a good middle ground If 16 is too far fetched
