I would like to second your number 2 here: Disconnecting the ADSR envelope from the VCA. This would also be a game changer for being able to use one envelope per oscillator like you can with multitimbral synths or partial-based patches etc. I NEED this. I joined the forum just to request this. Haha.

Round-Robin preferably with a filter for the selection of the oscillators.

another request especially for pads would be to increase the attack time and change its behavior - as it is right now even when i have it on maximum setting, the sound is immediately there when i press a key as if it wouldnât start at zero but had an offset already.
its even more noticeable with chords, where it can sound like note stealing.
Regarding the statement about the âAttack Timeâ: This doesnât seem to have anything to do with the value itself, even if an even longer time would certainly not interfere with it. This is a behaviour that sometimes occurs and, according to my feeling (someone would have to investigate this more closely), it is a bug, because I have already tried all the settings for âVoice â Poly Allocationâ and âVoice â Poly Steal Modeâ and âEnvelope â Retrig Modeâ (Reset / Continue) and I think I have noticed different behaviours there (that is, sometimes like this and sometimes like that with the same setting).

thank you for the reply - i have a similar experience, sometimes the attack fades in smoothly and sometimes it doesnât. hopefully a future update can solve this
What do you mean HOPEFULLY? This is probably a bug and I intend to return the instrument, if Arturia will not solve this. And I recommend to do this to every owener as well so it will become an eyeopener for Arturia. There are just too many bugs in this instrument. Itâs nice when Arturia adds some new features (new oscillator, new effect), but all this should come second. The first priority should always be to correct existing errors so that the product works properly for every buyer!

Those are some great suggestions!
My favourite from the initial post is:
- âalso the ability to use arpeggiator functions like mutate and octave within the sequencer would be a great improvementâ
Yes!! Pressing SHIFT+RATCHET to ratchet my sequence would be fantastic! Alternatively, the workflow suggested by the OP would also be fine.
I would like to add:
- A simple filter as an FX. I love the High Pass filter, but sometimes the result is just too bright and buzzy. Having the ability to put a slight Lowpass filter on top of that would be great!
- Being able to set more detail settings in the FX section with SHIFT+PARAMETER_KNOB. For example in the 3 Bands EQ, this could be used to change the center frequency for each band, making it a parametric EQ.
- A wavetable with a proper Rhodes sound
- An undo function! Pretty often I have reset wonderful patches before saving them by accidentally pressing the Preset knob, resetting the patch to default.
- When changing a parameter, having a little indicator of the original value stored in the patch would help a lot! Just show some little square icon in the display when I hit the original value.
Envelope Attack behavior
I agree about the behavior, it feels wrong. Would be nice to have this fixed.
Cheers,
Frank

You can use the Snapshot feature for this. It will take a snapshot when loading a patch and when initializing a patch.
The User Manual â4.5. Sound Edit operationsâ mention this.

Oh, thatâs good advice, thanks!

otherwise, the longly requested user wavetables should offer the trick too⊠
nice idea!
At the top of my wish list is a random button that repeatedly shuffles all of the MiniFreakâs parameters. Letâs go really freaky Arturia Crew and consider this for an future update. Perhaps in the plugin or (and) submenue in the MiniFreak. Than the MiniFreak will turn into a MaxiFreak 
Hey Hooo! And whatâs about the good old SysEx Data Standard? Saved my life and nerves in lots of live and jammin situations with my good old MKS 80 and Jupiter 6. I canât believe that itâs not integrated
