Ability to change the sample start position for all slot numbers , could be a simple switch on the back of the device to switch a slot between tone or start control if it would not fit on the front ( I am sure a lot more useful additions could be added to the front)

you have the option to right click on the sample at the top and change the start position via the editor.

Thanks for reminding about this. That could be a workaround but still think original request should be an option.

Yes, especially because you wouldn´t be able to modulate it otherwise :-)

You could throw a DDL-1 behind Redrum and turn off the feedback. This would essentially be adjusting the start time of all the samples.

Players are to MIDI what synthesizers are to waveforms.

The start time isn´t a delay though, it´s cutting off from the start.

OK, I understand now. You wat the adjust the sample's start position/point. Basically what the "start" knob does on channels 3, 4, 5, 8, 9 & 10. I've never understood why channels 1, 2, 6 & 7 don't have that knob. Another workaround solution is to just use another Redrum and trigger Redrum2 with Redrum1. Run both Redrums thru a 6:2 mixer. Then use the gate out from Redrum1's 1, 2, 6 & 7 to trigger the start-adjusted sample in Redrum2 (sending trigger info to Redrum2's channel 3, 4, 5 & 8, for example).

Yes, workarounds exist, it´s just the same with the tone control, wished every channel had one :-D

And a mono button for each channel (click on the stereo LED light perhaps?)

I can see mono and solo buttons for all channels of Redrum already (look at the top), so no need to add them.

I think he means monophonic. At the moment Redrum plays the sound a second time in a polyphonic fashion. For sounds like a bass drum it is better if it is monophonic.

Besides having sample start control on every drum, UMPF also has the ability to do a negative start time, useful for finding the 'pocket' for a sound without having to adjust the note's timing in the the MIDI data or in a Player.

He ment mono like stereo. The red LED shows wether the sample loaded is mono (turned off) or stereo (lit). By clicking you could turn stereo samples into mono ones.

No, that´s not a "mono" yet a "mute" button. And soloing or muting is obviously quite different from stereo->mono.

Right, that button is for muting a channel. Mono can easily be done by just plugging only the left cable of the individual outs. Having the LED work as a mono button would be bad UI imho.

Why would it be bad UI if you merely make that red LED clickable? Visually it doesn´t change anything at all, just a simple well-located integration of a stereo mono funtion Couldn´t actually think of a better place for that purpose because the potential button already exists, perfect. And connecting only one cable would merely transport left or right, yet mono in this case is about summing L + R into a monosignal and wouldn´t allow to quickly compare stereo to mono. You could even automate the stereo-mono parameter.

It would be bad UI because a LED is a status indicator and not a control. If they changed it to a lit button it would be OK, but still then that button should have multiple colours to indicate the actual state of the sample as there would then be three states: stereo sample (stereo on, button lit red), stereo sample (stereo off, button lit yellow), mono sample (button not lit).

Also afair connecting only the left automatically sums to mono.

Just having tested it by phasecancellation Redrum puts out L+R seperately wether there is merely one cable connected to the left or right. It´s a different behaviour from the mix channel´s input that would play the left input on L+R.

Still not really getting the UI thing, can´t it be both? Combining functionality with indication is actually a widely spread technique and I at least find, a clever one because it simplifies the layout by making it compact while even raising usuability because the connection between the button and the effect it has using it unites them in one place with immediate readability.

Thinking about it a little further, in this case it is indeed a little different as the indicator doesn´t reflect anymore wether the sample is originally mono or stereo.
Then you could incorporate different colours like if it´s a stereo sample (being displayed by red) turning it mono would show a blue LED while if it´s a monosample it would simply turn off.
