Even today cool and interesting! Too bad the virus pics are not working anymore, probably they updated their forum?
It’s an interesting observation how Elektron builds quality hardware, and hopefully this is still true for current devices. But I assume it’s worth to invest in the more expensive devices, as surely there’s not much benefit for a company to make even the cheapest model:samples (that I got as my first Elektron) for 300€ as robust that it will last for 10 or even 20 years or more.
