Hello guys, how are you?
A few features that could be wonderful to vote and be implemented, based on live gigs during this 1 & 1/2 year using QC for all of them.
1- Rotary: It would be wonderful to have a “Mix” knob and a “Volume/output” on this block. Sometimes I need the effect, but do not want to lose the definition of the signal coming in, in other words, just the “leslie” sound. It could save the necessity of bringing a parallel path that can be used to something else. Example on the picture attached where I needed another path just to blend in. The “Volume/output” can adjust the difference perceived when activating the block, I feel it is louder engaged.
Is it possible to make something like a “long hold” function for the speed? If I want to engage the Rotary I click, if want to change the speed from fast to slow, I hold the footswitch for 1s for example (can be less).
2- Have a similar “FX loop” block, for other outputs. Example below: I want to patch some effects to my amp using the out 3 or 4 (when needed), then I need to figure out a way to do that via another split of signal. Which sometimes can be done, others it becomes impossible.
It could be a block or maybe as a node between blocks telling you where you want to send your signal. Freeing one block space to be used with another thing if needed.
4- Modes configuration:
A. awesome to have the hybrid mode. Inside it would be good to choose what I want each footswitch to do. Let’s say I want two dedicated for on/off drives, another 3 for scenes, and another 3 for modulation FXs. Then: A and B drives; C, D and H modulations; E, F and G for scenes.
B. wonderful if I could create a hybrid mode and still have the 3 modes to cycle through them. Example: Stomp, Hybrid, Scene, Preset. Or if I can configure a lot: Hybrid, Preset, Stomp.
Thank you! Hope you all enjoy some of the ideas!
Rock on,
Castelo

A few feature requests that already address these:
> [@Please add a Mix parameter to Rotary Speaker](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/please-add-a-mix-parameter-to-rotary-speaker/4006):
>
> A mix knob would be great for getting that effect dialed in just right and being able to assign it to an expression pedal would be another great feature. If you want to go crazy with improving it let us assign Wave/LFO and/or envelope follower to it as well as the Speed and other parameters. Setting the Rotary to less prominent mix and having it seemingly have a mind of its own as far as its ‘rhythm’ makes a great AI band mate to play under the guitar part…
> [@Hold & Secondary Functions for foot switches](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/hold-secondary-functions-for-foot-switches/3878/46):
>
> I second this - to everyone that has used the words ‘I hope they will introduce this’ or similar phrases, stop hoping and read this thread And let’s help make the QC the machine it really can be muscle:t2+1:t2
> [@Feat. Request: Make Hybrid Mode more like “Command center” on Helix](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/feat-request-make-hybrid-mode-more-like-command-center-on-helix/8761):
>
> Instead of having the top row just for stomps and the bottom row for scenes (as the soon to be updated hybrid mode), it would be better if we could assign any of the foot switches to any function (pedal, scene or preset) as you currently can on the Line-6 helix eco-system using their awesome Command-Center.
> [@Add any input or output in the Fx Loop block](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/add-any-input-or-output-in-the-fx-loop-block/7462/2):
>
> pretty sure that would get really weird because the ins and outs are already on the grid - they would have to be mutually exclusive / unselectable respectively

OK, I will delete my post. Because I was searching the feature requests and any of these had appeared for me.
Just the node thing that no one talked about as long as I could see
Thanks
