& resampling a pattern to a pad w/out doing the flying lotus trick, but nothing really, it wouldn't be a 404 if it did...

MIDI Out & maybe USB would be nice, but not necessary. I'm not bothered about autochop, I hate it on my 505, you have to wait ages just to preview the chops & you have little idea what you're gonna get beforehand.

usb would be sick. different mfx assigned to different pads with out having to resample would be sick.

The ability to use different FX on different samples AT THE SAME TIME. I am a 404 n00b so if it's possible, please tell me how.

not really needed but 606 pads on the 404 would have been nice...

Yes, it is in reference to Albert Camus' novel.

really, i enjoy the 404 as is. So it needs only a few things to make it really perfect.
Re-Pitch (Same as sample tuning yes?)
Saving BPM/effect assignments with patterns...so you dont have to memorize what pads were compressed/reverbed or whatever, and remember the bpm each time you turn on your machine.
Being able to copy and resample patterns. I think it would be cool to be able to resample a whole pattern to a sample pad...so that you can chop up that pattern even more and make some ill choppy shit!
