Feature wishlist

"This feature was shot down before on this forum, but I’m still interested in the ability for the keyboard to read pdf files (have your manual on the keyboard etc).
"

Well, as long as all other features have been implemented and adding pdf support will not choke Fatnom-G, I am up for it, otherwise, please keep the PDF out..... Plain Text is already there... Maybe Roland can release special plain text version of the Manual for Fantom-G.

shakil: yeah, we could use a txt manual inside the FG's menu, for when we're out of home and want to look at something at a glance.

But I think that there are many things to be fixed/added to the OS first, before even starting to have such luxuries...

hi !

- A midi Harmonizer (motif like or, Ableton live "scale")
- A "fuzz" FX
- A parametric EQ for each part (dreaming!!!)
- Multiple "live mode" arpeggiator

1) Volume and panning automation on audio tracks ...

Aside from the G's so-so soundset, this is the major reason I haven't upgraded from X ...

On X I could almost understand no automation, but on a succeeding model ... ???

Is this really that big of a deal ... ???


2) Per-part EQ would also be a boon but it may not be implementable ...

Automation works fine for me on with Audio on the G.

It just creates a re-sampled file...

That works great for me.

Huh?!? Not sure I get what you're suggesting ... Re-sample the audio while performing panning and volume moves ... ???

If so, that's too lo-tech and time-consuming of a workaround ... What if you want to change something ... ??? And I prefer never to re-sample unnnecessarily ...

(Also, that workaround exists on Fantom-X, too ... Hence, one of the reasons I haven't upgraded ... )

Honestly very easy....As a matter of fact, I did it by accident...
I was just running a test to see if automation works or not for audio as people said.

I accidentally created a re-sampled file....very easy.
If I did not like it, erase and do it again, just like the old analog days...

Not difficult at all.

Is it just me ... ???

Or does anybody else understand what MadaHorn is talking about ... ???

Yeah, I understand him (and so do you…you said it in your last post) and it works. But I also understand what you are saying. You just want a little more DAW like convenience. madAhorn was just saying that it can be done, just not in the way you personally (and others I’m sure) would like it to be done. And I give him credit for pointing it out. It helps to keep things balanced.

But I would recommend using another wish list thread or making a new one. This one is kind of a mess. And it mostly consist of the repeat desires of a small number of members.

Also, there should not be to many disagreements in a thread such as this. It is a wish list thread after all. So long as people don’t post in a way that suggest their comments are beyond being a wish, this kind of thread should run smoothly.

Chord recognition for arppeggiator would be nice.

"Chord recognition for arppeggiator would be nice. "

As a relatively new user I didn't explore the arpeggiator function yet. Am I missing something? What is the arpeggiator good for if the keyboard doesn't recognize the chords? Except for drum patterns...
