If you want to go down that route, clearly MXR lifted a bunch of proposed FI features as their product manager has been hanging around the FI Facebook group for the past few years. In actuality, folks have been asking for a pack of cover band presets for a while and I’d been trying to get them to do it. The success of the MXR finally convinced them that there was a significant portion of potential customers that they were not serving. To be honest, I’m glad of the competition because it’s now given the impetus for the team to implement a bunch of ideas I’ve been pushing for for ages. 3 Quote

LawrenceH Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Exciting stuff, I'm looking forward to the release! Crossing fingers that portamento on tracked notes made it into this one. Pleased so many of our suggestions on patches are on those lists - even though they're often variations on a theme from a synthesist's perspective, from a practical POV they cover a lot of useful ground.

Yup, that's exactly why the MXR has been so successful. Would be REALLY interesting if Panda changed direction fully and brought out something like the original Deep Impact crossed with the MXR, all the new tech, quality processing and tracking etc but with only a set number of parameters to mess with and all adjustable from the pedal. Get a decent influencer type on board and it'd easily be as successful as the MXR, perhaps less so now the MXR exists but it'd still do very well. 1 Quote

That’s been in for quite a while already and was made public knowledge. (The only downside is that it’s not adjustable from the panel as the controls were fixed years ago. I did suggest a set of secondary parameters on the dial and I fleshed out a decent UI for it but they didn’t go for it unfortunately.) Edited 1 hour ago by Quatschmacher 1 1 Quote
LawrenceH Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Excellent! I know it had been mentioned as coming, but at this end no idea about how they manage release schedules of various features. 3 minutes ago, Quatschmacher said: That’s been in for quite a while already and was made public knowledge. Quote

I know it had been mentioned as coming, but at this end no idea about how they manage release schedules of various features. We were initially planning to release the update with new presets, portamento-on-audio-triggering, and onboard patch management features, but the big thing we’re working both progressed faster than expected but also had an impact on some of the things we’d added already. Also, as I’m having to rewrite the manual, I’d rather only have to do it once! 1 Quote

Don’t think I’ve got the headspace to learn new media skills; too much crazy life stuff being flung at me at the moment. If I could partner up with a video/recording wizard, that would help. Quote
LawrenceH Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Wait so 'the big thing' isn't any of those big things?! Intriguing... Quote

LawrenceH Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Well I have my ideas, will wait to see what's revealed! But I'd have thought now is the time to do said reveal, what with the publicity/interest associated with NAMM. Quote
