Probably! The distortion is after all quite different, so it makes sense to make some specific sound packs that make use of it. However, @Dataline is the person to ask about this.

thanks for the clarification!
yes of course - there will be sound packs for the AFmkII.

Iām curious to know if the overall tone of the mk II is different than the tone of a mk I - IME the A4 mk I excels at stuff that you want to be ābackgroundā in the mixā¦ If this aspect changes significantly, it could warrant getting two A4ās, one for each mk!

From @cuckoomusic video it seems if youāre leaning on filter Q and drive a lot then they are fairly different tonally.

The MKII is a lot bassier, and the highs are richer as well. There is more definition in the sound now. It works equally well in the back of a mix as in the front. Have a listen to the sound examples. 
Personally, I am blown away by the tone of the MKII - I am a sucker for details.

My headphones and Monitors told me thatās one is for meā¦ clearly jump on it again. Iām waiting for AR MKII now to order both at the same timeā¦ But these enhancements wow so cool 
THANKS ELEKTRON

Man, even if Iāve said that Iāll go the way of the dirty trinity, this kind of diffs might eventually turn me to the grey trinity side as well 
The A4 mk I is already a great ādesert islandā synthā¦ and now if the sonic pallette expands even moreā¦!!!111
I heard tone and details and very focus on this kind of things ā¦ No problem with the dark trinity, but these enhancements in the bass territory is very welcome as well as sampling in the AR MK2, my missing points is all covered now and I will stick to Elektron for way more years nowā¦ Glad to make the jump and sold my MK1 also for the renew of the 3 years warranty 
only one month left to wait and YEAH, bank account will be smoked !

Ha ha kind of where Iām at!
Outpouts pre or post fx ?
This ārichnessā in a simple sound (first played in unison, then in a chord) is what Iām talking about:
wav (24-bit 96khz) mp3 (v0)
(A simple dual oscillator w/ 1oct sub, and a little PWM patch, no distortion used, recorded straight from main output into RME Fireface UC at 24-bit 96khz, no effects or EQ.)

Separate outs are without effects since the effects are sends. Main Outputs are with effects.

Would it be possible to then have the main outs mirror OB behavior where they only send the send FX?
Stop it @Ess. I donāt need a repeat of yesterdayās octatrack shenanigansā¦ I canāt cave in again
Ooooh- I got goosebumps from that sound! I wasnāt planning on desiring this!

You can already do this.

I noticed that the separate outs are stereo jacks:
4 Ć Ā¼" separate stereo voice output
and wondered why, if they are sent without effects?
HMMM! Will have to give this a go then!
