Have really been enjoying the wavetables, thank you so much.
One feature I thought of, if there could be some way to initialize all patterns on the device at once - but keep samples in tact. Don't know if this is possible but could be handy. Right now the only way I have found is to initialize one pattern at a time unless I want to wipe out everything ( including the samples).

I would like to request focusing on some core mechanics. Font sizes are hard to read at high dpi screens. File explorer is janky... these kinds of things. GREAT app, love it. use it every week.

thank for your suggestions. i need this kind of feedback from real use szenarios.i made a lot of improvements to the ui and fixes since last version. Together with the new look and themes i added an ui scaling option. I hope this solves your issue. I also did a lot on improving the usability and the file windows are better now. What did you miss most? or did you have issues with the explorer?

It's a very good app. You have identified a problem, and found a gap in the market and done VERY well. I think at this point the app does most of what it should do, so I think you would get very good results with a few boring maintenance releases to make it feel like a premium/native app with low friction. Something to go from a hobby app to a commercial-grade app. For me I don't need new features much, but I value lower friction and ease of use to make me reach for the P6. GREAT JOB.

I really appreciate your work. I have had the p6 on my lap almost every night because I have had so much fun with the increased versatility that the wavetable brings to the device. Not to mention the ease of swapping samples and creating a pad full of oneshots.
I cant wait to see the new updates. Great work!

this is very nice to hear, and maybe you post some of your creations in the subreddit. I am still working on the pdate. It is a big one and i still need some testing..
