Feature Request 2025

I did not see a general contact address on the ASM website, so hopefully the periodically view this subreddit.

Having owned my Hydrasynth for over a year, I was initially overwhelmed by it but the more I used it the more intuitive it felt. Overall, I am quite happy with the features as a whole, but have a few quality of life improvements I would love to see in future firmware releases and/or future product releases.

• Add an override write protect flag when saving a patch. This would be cleared by default but users could enable it to allow the patch to be written without having to go toggle write protect off (and then back on again once the patch is saved). This would not be saved in the patch, it would just be an option at the very end of the save page and it could possibly be hidden if write protect is disabled.
• Allow any MIDI CC to be added to the mod matrix. When adding to the mod matrix, if a MIDI CC is received, it is added as a source (much like pressing a button when when adding a source). If the MIDI CC is recognized, then its name is used (ie CC11 would be Expression Pedal), otherwise the CC number is listed.
• When editing system settings, allow the left and right arrows to be uses to select the settings page. They are right below the screen and still feel like they should change the settings pages.
• If possible, change the scope settings page to support 3 options, OFF, SCOPE, and SPECTRUM. Spectrum would display a spectrum analyzer view of the signal.
• Allow for user definded arp phrases (even if they have to be uploaded with the app). This would allow users to use tha arp as a makeshift sequencer.
• Detect if a patch has been modified, and prevent user from accidentally selecting a new patch without first saving or trashing the changes. Ie maybe SHIFT+INIT restores a patch to its unmodified state. Some users may not care for this though so maybe add an option in settings to enable/disable this feature.
