Analog morrhår?

Beware, there are some italian guys here, and Fica is always analog here…

Sometimes digital…

Elektron, you really ought to spill the beans. 909 day is coming up and you’ll get drowned out under the new Aira devices hype :-o

I have Behringer XR12, perfect piece of kit for me, digital mixer and records a stereo out to USB stick. This is touted as a “studio” box so some form of mixer / recorder, done Elektron-style makes sense to me. I used the Octatrack for this a few years back and it was pretty clunky.

I’m kind of over getting hyped about analog for now. So much out there now. Spoilt for choice. Analog Keys. Rytm. Ob-6. Deepmind. MFB dominion 1 + drum machines. MS20. Odyssey. Matrixbrute. Mother 32. O coast. Sub 37. + all the more boutique/smaller companies kind of stuff. Past few years have been non-stop…something affordable that sounded like an OB-6 would be pretty special but I don’t see it happening…

Would just like to see some ideas get refined now - Analog RYTM with onboard sampling. Pumped up OP-1. Octatrack with separate outs and polyphonic tracks. Analog Keys with super knobby UI and ‘normal’ rotary response curve options. An updated V-Synth.

I know some of that stuff IS analog but TBH the best of current digital (Roland/Diva etc) is so close that I’d take any of the above kind of units if it was high quality digital with a ton of features and totally refined, over watered down analog versions missing features or playing it safe. We already have plenty of options there…
Though yeah you’re right, 2016 Roland probably not the company to do any of that :wink:

Yep. Hurry Elektron. If Roland brings a nice little boutique 303 and 808, there goes my budget. Would love to see a new SP in the AIRA line as well.

So. Couldn’t wait any longer. Bought an octatrack again. hope the Setup will be complete for a while. have to stop browsing the Internet to stay away from buying more stuff.
really hope they wont release an octatrack2 though

I like the idea of a knobby AK, I would buy that for sure. I really like my A4, its a bit like being cast out into the void but ive got a couple of good synth parts from it, and a ton of percussion.

Full knob control would make it far more easier to find sweet spots…

Im fine with digital as long as it sounds good :grin:

Can you draw it and we can maybe try to guess?

@complex_minimal: I have done a video workshop where I’am controlling the A4 with a MIDI controller to get the full control of it. Perhaps it might be interesting for you :slight_smile: It’s german but with english subtitles …

Best, Kai

And if elektron was releasing separate module from each machines? You could buy aR voice or a4 voice or octa voice separatly and put it in a case with the elektron sequencer built in! It could be nice to have a "modular " elektron

thats actually a very good point, Im going to remap all my synths knobs via overbridge. Ive got a ring of midi controllers all around me right now, maybe not quite the precision of the encoders but still something

maybe a bcr2000?

I would still buy a knobby AK, I actually want a normal AK :slight_smile:

Okay, I think I’ve got it. It’s a multi-in effects processor like the OT, but instead of two fx per track, it’s effects in bulk with sends. Multi-outs to route certain effects to different out channels. And a sequencer to plock effect sounds.

This might actually be cooler than I initially would think it to be

One of my latest pleasures with the analog series is parameter locking the sends. It’s a lot of fun with the crazy sounds you can make. Basically it’s like this but on steroids. And also you can save effects patches on this unit like what was requested on the analog series thus far but never answered

This is what it is, I’d bet hypothetical money on it
