That would be a Gigacombinator, then you'd put those in a teracombinator, then a petacombinator, then exacombinator, zettacombinator and yottacombinator.
But that would just be silly.

I'd like the buttons to allow for more than just a 0 and 1 value, for example the ability for them to toggle between four or five filter types. It would free up the knobs a bit more. There should also be four more knobs and buttons.

Agree to all posts. But i always missed more overview of the assignments, eg.which devices are all controlled by rotary1? Somtimes i got lost over all assigments and have to check all devices after assignment change.

Therfor a different programmer view with rotary to device mapping visible instead of the actual device to rotaries. So the rotaries, buttons and CVs should be listed in the programmer instead of the devices. Just to be clear: i want both views!

As I've been saying for a while now, it's about time props started using the sides of their devices for more configuration options. Perhaps Ctrl and Tab would get you to the left panel while Alt and Tab would get you to the right panel. The left panel could be for local global settings and the right could be for modifiers. But I'm just typing words, what they mean is up to the devs.

+1 for the super combi!

1) Double or more the assignable knobs and buttons.
2) Backward compatible.
3) Ability to combine 2 combinators or more.
4) Larger display of the programmer.

Would love to know other ideas.

Multiple assignable device parameters to knob 1. e.g. two instrument frequency linked on 2 synth leads that will apply the same parameter to each frequency filter
It is not too much of an ask for people or things to be the best version of itself!

Nah they need to re-map f5/f6/f7 to ctrl+tab ;)

Bypass sets. Could easily do this with the buttons on a combi/channel strip but it would be a nice feature non the less.

Yes they should.

That pizza thing is freaky.

Somebody put an amazing new combinatory design on a thread on the old puf. It was awesome. Wish that person would show up here and post the same pic / design. ;-)

More rotaries!!!' If I have an LFO and I want all to be tidy, I am limited to only 4 knobs, I know I could use the mix channel for more effects but I try to keep it all in the combinator to keep the sequencer clean and neat, if we had 6 or 8 knobs or buttons I'd be happy, but my wants are always changing haha

And then props come along with a totally different way of solving the problem that you'd never even think of and you're left wondering why you ever wanted it.

Connecting the rotaries via cv is not enough I think.
You really should be able to make a bigger combi out of smaller ones : /

Still trying to think of workarounds for that...hm...
Shit spiders or a rack extension are all I can think of for that.

The Props have taken some time and i feel like i KNOW, there's a new Combi up in the PHead's sleeve. Its gonna be waaay batter then just more Buttons. I bet its going to have a fully customizable Interface with sliders, knobs and dials maybe even displays :)

More programmable knobs + buttons on a mix channel/combinator or the ability to add knobs at the cost of the size of the mix channel/combinator on the rack. big +1

Fix the lag when changing the min/max value on show programmer or just add the ability to input the value manually when you double click on it.

An idea I had awhile back is rather than having to deal with a finite number of possible CV inputs -- what if the programmer source/ destination drop downs populated with any source/ destination available in the combined devices? Add to that an unlimited number of slots and I think we'd be set.

Oh yeah, and a scale source column. <--- This is absolutely necessary.

The spider devices should have allowed you to select whatever was connected to them in the dropdown menu come to think of it.
You gotta use CV or audio in's/outs with multiple combis if you want to add more knobs to control.

I already suggested up a few posts but here it is again if it made no sense. Combining targets on the same device to the same rotary. So the ability to add a 2nd 3rd 4th etc. target to a rotary.

For instance Source malstorm1> target 1> frequency filter 1 >target 2 > frequency filter 2 with min/max values for each target added and maybe a little check box to use min/max for all targets.


also if the combinator does get updated the slot between master section and hardware interface should be unlocked to allow for a combinator to be moved/inserted there for a master chain to output!

Holy shit I just realised after all these years of using a combinator you can add 2 extra functions to the default combinator/mix channel rotary/buttons. Up to 10 functions can be added to the same button or rotary. :oops: :oops:

lol.But yep they meant combining combi's which is possible with cv, rack extensions or attaching separate ones together with rpg-8's.
Found that feature in 5, but you want more knobs so use an re or the methods.
