Ok seems like a lot has been done already
It seems like the next thing from elektron might well be an 8/16 voice 8 channel big brother for the digitone.
Am I mad, or would this be the best thing ever created?
would buy
My guess for their next big box is essentially the DT and Tone combined but with OT functions and, yeah, doubling of Tone voices. Won’t happen till OB2 is done tho. The Groovebox to kill em all.
I’d prefer a big wavetable or hybrid synthesis machine. with shed loads of voices of course
Not disagreeing with you at all. But don’t the DT’s sampling functions do a rudimentary form of this?
Yeah, with sound source modulation you have already a nice wavetable (named soundpool), so what’s the big deal?
… or slices on the OT …
Elektron Digital Four. Sound engine developed for the DN in the MKII form factor.
a new analog synth,hated the A4/keys sound
Do you really think another analog synth from Elektron would sound that much different?
And it doesn’t make much sense to release two machines in the same area (unless the new one is an entry level type one with a quite restricted feature set / mono synth?).
This thread should be deleted until Elektron deal with the backlog of existing issues.
I’m only half joking. Threads like this, full of people queuing up to commit more money to unfinished and slightly crippled new boxes, definitely contribute to the problem of Elektron as a company taking the wrong path.
topic thread is called 'what gear would you like to see elektron do next?
my answer is ‘a new analog synth,hated the a4/keys sound’
that is my opinion/answer and im entitled to it
elektron are forever growing so yeah i would expect a new analog synth to sound completely different
Machinedrum revision , maybe 8 tracks in the small format
I would love to see a 49 key version of the Digitone, with 16 voices, direct outs etc. Kinda like a digital version of the AK. I have a feeling something like that would sell out instantly.
do you also want a joystick or two?
just asking, not that you get disapponted later ; D
Sure, why not. AK has a joystick, yes?
I would like one with 37 keys that has analog filters and analog overdrive (that can be modulated by the operators).
also one of the earlier offsprings of the tone, the mm with its fm capabilities…
I will have a word with the devs at hq and see what I can do.
how about we throw in 2 analog voices too? 1 from the A4 and another one from the AR ?
I can see Elektron redoing the Digitone with the extra bells and whistles of their “deluxe” boxes but done in a way that those features are as easily accessible as their digi-machines.
A benefit of the one with keys is being able to sequence directly from the keyboard instead of having to switch to the notes menu. Parameter slide etc.
I’m not seeing significantly more voices, though
Digitone MK2 confirmed…
