Nomad Factory Magma - First Impressions/issues/feature Suggestions? Options

[kevaquarian]

Just spent about 30 minutes with Magma:

I really like the rack concept - the drag n drop thing is great

Badly needs a bypass button for each rack individually - this is a deal breaker for me

I found a bug - unfortunately I can't recall which unit it was - late night! When the clip light was engaged, the audio was muted

Previous/Next arrow selector buttons for moving through FX without having to re-open the drop down would be very useful

Magma crashed while loading a preset rack - report below. [edit: I tried to use a code box but it did not work?]


Overall, I could get into this system once it had a few important functionality bits sorted, and has settled down bug/crash wise.

I would be interested to see how it copes with running 3rd party plugz - I'm gonna keep an eye on this one - not a purchase for me at this stage though.

Sorry guys - I put this report inside a code box, but it just showed all of it as normal text. I have therefore chopped it back to the salient parts:
