I'd like to know how they come up with their list of priorities and features for a new update. All of the features listed in that update with the exception of the Template Lite aren't anything I ever recall seeing users here asking for.
Some people has requested that the effects in a multi be controlled at the multi level and not at the slot level (rcmusic was one of these). When we analysed this requirement we thought that it is not only a matter of FX control but more largely a matter of slot control within the multi. That is the reason for the new multi features. So you cannot say that it is unrelated to some users requests.
Note that one of the new multi feature is precisely the ability to bind up to 4 parameters to any of the 8 screen encoders. This is what you are requesting? Is'nt it?
Lot of people have been requested new modules. This is planned. Again this is related to users requests.
Lot of people have also requested enhancements regarding the preset management using the application "Origin Connection". Particularly the fact that 1) we don't erase the user presets during an update and 2) that we allow users to overwrite factory presets. Both are planned for next 1.4 release.
And finally, the "template lite" concept has been discussed at large on this forum. This concept will be introduced into the 1.4 release.
All in all, you have to admit that we've been listening to the users.
Of course we have to make choice because we obviously cannot implement every single idea that may be posted here.
For those of you who are disappointed that we postponed the software editor, let me tell you that it has not been sent to the trash, instead it is postponed. It means that we may (we may not we will) decide later to revive this idea. The reason for this postpone is that it would have taken too much time and resource in the current period to manage this goal (a plugin editor with midi capability) in a 4/5 month delay.
