Received a survey from PH in the mailbox.

I liked question 6.

6. What would you like to see as a Player device?
I'm not interested in Players
Beat Repeater
MIDI Filter
Step Sequencer
Drummer
Other (please specify)

It is obvious there is more players in the pipe, but it felt nice to read this list.
That's all, just wanted to share.

ooooh, Drummer! that could be nice. some easy random fill generation would be great, especially if you could sort of base it off an existing pattern.

I'd be interested in the drummer. Running that through scales would be pretty wicked. ;)

I didn't get the survey so I will write something here. We need a more advanced chord player. Something that allows the user to design a progression with fancy chords of different types. In pop music, there are 7th chords, slash chords and sus chords sometimes just peppered in to the same progression. With the current chord player, you can change the settings to get some different voices but that requires automation of knobs and switches. It would be great to have a device that allows the user to choose what notes are triggered for each note played in the scale. The notes could be selected on a piano roll type interface. A simplified version of the Autotheory rack exstension.

Other ideas:

An emulation of the OBERHEIM Perf/x Drummer and Strummer.

An Omnichord type device

The new device has to be new. This has to be creative.
I do not want to choose from a list of long-familiar things.
Player plastic sculpture, physical simulation, virtuosic vibrato... whatever. Not that there is.

What would a new step sequencer do that the Matrix doesn't?

What would a MIDI Filter do?

IMO…

New Step Sequencer: Ratcheting, variable gate length per step (+ master gate-length control), multiple parallel tracks, step note entry, multiple playback modes (forward, backward, random, etc.), step skip/mute, 64 steps per sequence, 2x & 0.5x playback, variable shuffle, octave shift, sequence trigger & transpose from keyboard or other Player…

MIDI Filter: remove aftertouch (something I NEED for my Axiom controller), filter out specific channel data or sys ex, filter out specific notes and/or key ranges, etc.

I would like a Player that does some simple things that are typically controlled from a controller, but may not be immediately available and/or the workflow would be faster within Reason (and more convenient to assign to individual instruments in the Rack).

Things such as transpose and velocity curves.

I want a playable step sequencer. IE you program several beats and can trigger them live with midi keys

I'd say these things should be in the sequencer already, along with non-destructive quantize, velocity/controller scaling, etc.

BTW, you can live transpose (and limited Velocity scaling) with Note Echo…

Filtering channels is one of my tops. Combinators can do the others, no?

This can make RPG 8 inside combinator.
Filtering velocity and MIDI note. :puf_unhappy:

I'd love to filter when recording, something even a Player wouldn't do but something every other MIDI sequencer I've used can do…

Oh right... I think I've just become so used to that in sonar and Cubase I totally spaced the midi path.
