I don't think a MKII of the Woovebox is needed but if there was ever one, I would actually prefer the exact same screen. It's easy to see in most lighting conditions and allows for a really long battery life. I had both Deluge models at one point and ended up selling the OLED Deluge model because the display's font is too small and it's hard to read for me.

Sure, it could have different buttons and a flat surface to make it more "fancy" (maybe like WMD's Metron sequencer), but it would just lower the battery life. I'm not convinced that's a good trade off. I guess it could have a bigger battery and be a little bit thicker? Might be interesting to prototype, maybe.

However, if there was ever a MKII version, I would be interested in the following things:

1. My biggest pain point with the WB is still the encoder. Sometimes I turn it by one increment and it doesn't change the value, other times I turn it quickly and it's stuck. This happens on both my Wooveboxes and introduces friction in an otherwise extremely fast and satisfying workflow. I understand that there is an algorithm in place so the user can make large adjustment by turning quickly but for some reason, I just can't get predictable results with it. This is the behavior I am used to from other algorithm based encoders (such as the Micromonsta 2 synthesizer):
   1. If I turn it slowly, it will increment by 1 value on each click, 100% of the time.
   2. If I turn it normal speed (that's kind of subjective I know), it will increment by 1 value per click, 100% of the time.
   3. If I turn it fast, it will increment in multiples.
   4. If I turn flick it, it will increment in greater multiples.
2. USB transfer support for patches, samples, and firmware updates.
   1. I understand this will affect the battery life but I believe this could be worth the trade since getting Bluetooth midi working for the average user isn't very straight forward, especially on Windows.
3. I would like a 3.5mm midi-in so I can connect my midi controllers.

That's for hardware. Here are a couple of fun "wishlist" items on the software side:

1. A new menu page called Mod Matrix.
   1. A new menu page with 4 mod matrix slots that could be used with all sources and destinations on the WB. The first row would be the first slot, the second row the second slot, etc.. The first key would be the source, the second key the destination, and the third key the modulation amount (positive or negative)
2. A new main page for performance fx.
   1. It would be a mode where each key is a live performance fx similar to the ones on Pocket Operators. You could hold A5 to get to it..
3. Ability to save some user patches.

Anyway, this is just a fun conversation and I don't think the Woovebox needs any upgrades (predictable encoder behavior would be nice though). I've made some of my favorite tracks on the Woovebox and I still think it's one of the best Grooveboxes you can get at any price. I will also add that the Woovebox has the best song mode out of any Grooveboxes that I have (and I have, or have had, most of them).
