Ahh, I would love see time stretching, slicing and a compressor as payable upgrades (maybe 40-80 each?) I completely understand that they don’t wanna add every feature of OT to the DT, nobody would want to buy the OT anymore. However OT will always stay a much more complex and feature full sampler (SD card, live sampling, many effects/scenes, fader, deeper project architecture etc…)
These features also wouldn’t have so much overlapse with other elektron boxes. Right now the feature set of DT is very comparable to Rytms sample feature (Rytm being even more advanced with Analog filters, compressor + 12 tracks), however slicing and time stretching isn’t available on the Rytm, so people with a Rytm would get a reason to buy a DT.
Payable upgrades could add some extra money for Elektron like Overbridge premium and I’m sure many people would buy these features.
(I would of course also love these features to be free updates, but I don’t see that coming)
