Some nice improvements in v1.4 I appreciate.
Global LFOs 1 and 2 and global ENVs 1 and 2--nice to modulate the delays and can be sent to CV outs.
It is helpful to me, when trying to setup a mod matrix slot, to view my oscilloscope since I don't understand some of the
mod functional behaviors.
Master tune. Still would like to see Global tunings for OSCs 1, 2 and Mod.
The shift/hold/finer encoder helps.
However still hard to get and exact value e.g. 440.01 on LFOs.
And OSC 1 and 2 still hard to get close--fine tune still jumps to much.
Constant/offset value in mod matrix was necessary.

Of course, still some desires--
Documentation for the CV calibration, Panel calibration and Manual calibration.
And a cancel button for each of these, I went into these without any intention of changing anything. I lost voice 7 and 8
somehow, but did get them back after doing the Full calibration.
Delay stage for LFOs.
Quantize function for mod matrix.
Sawtooth LFO wave shape which start at 0 and ramps up. Spent a lot of time trying to get this behavior without it.
When I have keys depressed, I want all OCSs immediately tune (no slew), when a key is released its pitch will
slowly descend to another pitch. And no matter how long I have the sustain pedal held it will stay at the second
pitch. I've come close to this in a couple of different/complicated ways but still haven't quite nailed it.
The Moog 1125 was nice, I have attempted this behavior on muse, with limited success. Having the ability to reset the LFOs
in the mod matrix would help.
An A440 reference or get quick autotune to get closer to A440.

New to this forum having just purchased my Muse a few weeks ago.

A feature request I have is the ability to load and save from a USB flash drive just as one can when connected to a computer.

I really appreciate the fact that my Muse can be accessed as a drive from my Linux system since I don't run Windows or Mac, but being able to do so from a USB flash drive would really be nice.

I have a Novation Summit and the one thing I don't like about it is that you have to use their Components software or web site to load and save patches and update firmware. I do have an Open Source project that has some provisions for doing this, but I have to do some coding to complete it and I would rather just have MTP access if possible.

The behavior of the freq knob of osc mod if bit weird, like if you fall upon the good value it's nice, but when you miss it, to get closer is pretty hard.

Anyway, I agrees with tristanshoutsf :
1) LFO 1/2 should should be able to be one shot to be used as AR 1/AR 2.

Agree also with steve_moog :
2)It should be nice to have somewhere, somehow the tempo in BPM.

3) Could be a nice addition to be able to reallocate the voice when the env has finished.
I explain: I made a B3 patch, with organ partial on A, keyclick on B. Both are stacked. So the click is extremely short, this behavior might be allow to fake a more-than-4 voices polypony stealing the voices of clicks on B patch. It's really optimization, but it definitely can help to play.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but a really handy feature would be to be able to have a bpm on the clock without it syncing via USB or MIDI. The prophet 06 has this for instance.

The start/stop messaging from a lot of MIDI clock sources still turns the apreggio and sequencer on, even if ignored in the menu. Also it's nice to be able to have a bpm set so you can noodle without any source playing and you know it will sync later on, or you can sync to something that's playing in rehearsal without running a usb cable from the laptop to your moog, etc. etc.

Seems like an easy implement in terms of coding but of course it would require an additional menu slot so perhaps I'm oversimplifying things in my head. Anyway, absolutely in love with the synth and hope this gets added soon!

Something I would really love would be for the sequencer to be more integrated in the mod map. For instance, it is restricted to being simply off or on via the one button; you can't gate it with the keyboard like on other synths, afaik. Also, when the transpose mode is set to on, it will do so across the entire keyboard even if you set a split point, so you cannot use the sequencer as a bass loop and change keys on the left side while playing the melody on the right side. I feel that should be an easy fix.

Yes to all of this. Related, I'd also really like to be able to route the sequencer note output to (for example) filter cutoff (or any other mappable parameter), without affecting the note pitch at all. So the sequencer note output should be a mod source, and we should be able to disable the direct mapping to pitch.

Something like the SHOW button on Sequential synths, which allows you to check the value of a parameter without changing it, would be very helpful.

When using Split Mode with the sequencer running, it would be extremely useful if transpose operations only affected the notes within their assigned split zone.

This would allow, for example:
• Running a bass sequence in the lower split, transposing it in real-time.
• At the same time, playing a lead line manually in the upper split, w/o affecting the transpose applied to the bass zone.

Such behavior would significantly expand performance flexibility, making it easier to combine sequenced bass lines with live lead playing without unwanted transposition across both zones.

1. MPE capabilities from external controller, if this is possible.
2. It would be cool to add more “user wave” shapes for the LFOs. Also, it would be cool if you could set them to play forward, backward, or bouce(forward then backward), because that way the asymmetrical shapes would loop smoothly in a way.
3. More preset slots. 256 is really small for such a deep synth. 1024 would make more sense. 4 banks of 256. It’s hard for me to understand how this can’t be possible.
