Minor manual update coming soon for the beta (before we redo the graphics)
Any chance a change log exists for the manual for people like me who printed it?

I also printed it so yeah, change logs would be super nice, and is also general good practice I think!
Is micro-timing a possible feature update for future firmware releases? It seems like this could fit with the work flow, maybe an option under Edit->Gate and use the encoder to move the gate output of that stage a little bit ahead or behind? Like in a way, applying a per-stage swing?
No idea if this would be feasible given the code, though. Thanks!
I’m guessing the main change was in the Stages section where they had EDIT written by accident instead of ALT for all those shortcuts, so I already fixed those.

Looks like you guys did a great job of eliminating the pitch change - button luminosity problem! It looks like at the new max illumination level of 4 the luminosity of the buttons has no effect on the pitch.

Is mostly fixed for the typos about the EDIT and ALT Button; we switched some operations part way through development and the manual needed to catch up :). Also new ranged for LED brightness from 1-4 instead of 1-5. the changelog for the release contains any other info like Mute LEDs or Audit LED colours.

Will add this to the Wishlist, as usual no guarantees, but we’ll review when we’re looking to add features.
Edit: Would be tricky to add since a Stage is not necessarily a pulse. Something could probably be done, but It would not be the direct control you’re thinking of.

I think it’d be a pretty neat feature. It could work great with the Gx, I’m guessing. I’ve owned a lot of sequencers and not many have micro-timing (none of the Eurorack sequencers I’ve owned had it: Usta, Rene, Ryk – I don’t even think the vaunted ER-101 can do it?). The Elektron Octatrack does an amazing job with it, if you’re looking for an effective implementation of it. Pamela’s New Workout implements it somewhat by phasing/delaying a gate/cv output, but of course that’s not really a sequencer. Thanks for considering!
The issue is that each “stage” is up to 8 pulses / steps. So what would the microtiming apply to? only the first pulse?
I imagine this might have already been suggested as a feature, but I’ve had my Metropolix for a couple of days now, and while I’m obsessed with it already, I really wish it was possible to assign an Aux input or a Control knob to affect the parameter of only one specific step, rather than a whole track.
For example, being able to use a knob to change the Ratchet ± value of, say, only Step 3 of Track 1, instead of every step on Track 1.

I think it could be the first pulse or all of the pulses in the stage, depending on how it has to be implemented in the code. Yeah it’s not a perfect “solution” in the sense that conceptually it’d be great to be able to apply a slight timing change to any gate that you want but I assume that would run up against some code limitations or UX issues. But even only being able to apply it on a per-stage basis would be neat, since you could just turn the pulse count down so that the subtle timing change wouldn’t affect a string of gates in that stage.
Is it possible to make our own scales in the Metropolix? If so, I can’t find it in the manual.
Can’t make your own scales.

Minor suggestion: a button combination so that changes to a parameter (clock division, CV, track pitch, anything that can be done with the encoder) can be applied to both tracks 1 and 2.
I know there are probably copy/paste features (I’m assuming, haven’t looked specifically at the various options there) but it’d be helpful from a performance perspective to be able to, say, switch the clock division of both tracks 1 and 2 simultaneously, especially if they were in a syncopated rhythm.
Looks like a button combination that could be used could be holding the unlit track while editing the parameter. So for example, click Track 1, then Div, then hold Track 2 and move the encoder and the changes apply to both tracks.
Sorry if this feature is somehow here and I missed it though, manual is long!

I was thinking the same thing for track and stage settings. 
It would be cool to be able to change the pitch, gate length, order, length, ratchets etc. for both tracks at the same time.

Another suggestion: setting stage-specific upper/lower limits for the accumulator. Guessing this is less likely given the way the limits are designed on the accumulator currently.
The accumulator is very awesome, of course 
Such a nice addition, conceptually it really works with the design of the Metropolix
Ok here’s another one: press and hold multiple stage buttons to apply parameters across multiple stages at once.
E.g., when in the pitch/cv menu, you can press and hold the buttons for multiple stages, so that when you turn the encoder, it applies the changes to all of the stages.
Wondering if this is a hardware limitation given that it is not currently implemented, and because the hold-ALT and move encoder lets you “edit all” of the stages’ parameters.
This would be huge because sometimes it is nice to dial in a bunch of cv modulation on the fly.
Sorry for all the feature requests, I should probably wait a week and write all these down and email 'em!
