No love. It has gotten no love at all.

Yeah, kind of crazy there’s only a $300 price difference between it and the Tonverk.

Don’t remind us.
Elektron, give us the new FX pretty pretty pretty please.

Don’t think this one got implemented yet but happy to hear otherwise.
Program changes switch whatever the active bank is. Seem to remember they only changed bank A.
In terms of working on live sets/different studio configs this would be really useful for different setups.
Oh and yes, the Dinkum delay degrader etc or whatever they’re called would be muchos welcome
I hardly ever complain, but bear with me this one time please. I love my AH+FX, but share some sentiment among comments above. Can we please get some of the new FX from TV, you know, since AH+FX is a dedicated FX box? I understand the business model, but even if money was of no concern for anyone, desk space and convenience goes out the window when you need to have 10 boxes connected for each to do a couple of specific things. It would be good if there was more crossover. I’m not saying there is none, it’s just not enough.
One very good way would be to implement machines into AH as well and let us choose among many FX to put in the 7 available digital FX slots.

I literally just hopped on here to say the same thing. If they got new fx they should add them to their dedicated fx unit. Would love some of those fx on my AH

Think about it from a marketing and sales perspective: how many people actually bought the Analog Heat +FX? I imagine it’s probably the least-purchased product in their lineup. But if they added the new FX machines to it, sales would likely go up as well.
Welcome Elektron!

Please email support a feature request for the FX, I already did. Maybe if enough of us do they will actually consider it.

YES!! Sent it now, please everybody, do that, also ask for fx machines for digitakt 2 digitone 2

Well, maybe that’s why it was abandoned? It was their least-selling product, and they can’t really justify spending time updating it with those low sales numbers?
I sort of don’t see it making financial sense to spend time on that to make it more like the new product they want to sell, even though I would love for it to happen.
I feel that at its current state, the AH+FX would be a great product at half of its current price, but when I bought it I sort of saw it as this premium effects box that would evolve and become so much more. Really taught me to not buy a product in hopes of future updates though

Not AHFX owner (only AH MKII) but can someone answer if there were any new FX added in its lifespan via firmware so far? Its not that old product and is already on 3rd generation so one would assume this will get plenty of new and different FX’s algorithms (not presets). But then … what would there be left for TV?
More I think about TV I find it more like a complete product line distraction release …while cutting AH FX sales to zero, cutting on DT/OT sales as well … yet no OT replacement - some kind of a mutation of everything?
edit : Should have added - if TV is your first Elektron, then I guess you must be thrilled to taste the magic of many instruments at once, but if you are already invested deep in Elektron ecosystem (including AH FX) then its quite different.
I understand your point, but I think it’s not necessarily that costly or complex to port existing digital FX from one Elektron product to another, especially if they share the same framework. For example, I know the Digitakt 2 and Digitone 2 both run on the same CPU architecture as the UAD Apollo interfaces, which shows they are definitely capable of handling it. I’m not 100% sure about the Analog Heat +FX, but it’s different inside compared to the MKII version, so it seems to have more headroom as well.
From a programming perspective, if the FX modules already exist (say one type of reverb vs. another), integrating them into the system could be a matter of a short implementation and then proper testing and Elektron has most likely already tested these effects thoroughly TV.
If you look at it from a cost perspective: the daily rate of a developer in the US isn’t anywhere close to the full retail price of a box. Even if we generously estimate $100k to adapt and test these FX across devices, selling just a few hundred extra units would already make up for the investment. And beyond the numbers, it would allow Elektron to compete more strongly with other multi-FX units on the market, like Eventide, which aren’t even saturators to begin with.

I agree. I don’t know much about the eco system, but if the TV, AH+FX, DT2 and DN2 all uses the new platform with SHARC + rust code (IIRC), then there’s not that much of a job to port them. I thought maybe that AH+FX was on the eco system, but if not, that makes me optimistic for the future!

Is there a SHARC in the AH+FX?
I have not seen information on that.
Nope. It’s on firmware 1.02 - it has had two updates in its lifespan, the aforementioned one in Oct 2024 adding Overbridge support.
I don’t have information there either:

Guess I need to open mine up to clear this out. Will post.

Thanks for doing that! As I said: IF it has that. I do not know. But that could explain why they released the +FX so soon after MK2, to move all current gen products over to the same HW and SW platform.
Medium–high chance that Elektron reused or adapted the same DSP platform they used in Digitakt II / Digitone II for the Heat +FX’s digital FX — it would be an expected engineering move (reuse DSP cores/algorithms across product line).
I’m pretty sure they didn’t release an “old” dsp platform for the +FX when they already had a new one in the pipeline for DT2 machines. Any research into this would be highly appreciated 
I still hope for an update with more FX. One of the reasons i upgraded from my old Analog Heat mk2 was because of how Elecktron usually support their products with updates.

I got the +FX last week, not much time to use it yet.
More FX are welcomed, but the TV can’t add analog warmth to my Wavestation and my other hardware.
I like the addition of a digital compressor, that’s why I didn’t go for the older generations.
The only machine I was comparing the +FX with was the Oto Boum.
I don’t know why a company would keep pushing for a 3rd version of a product that is not selling at all, according to the Internet.
Unless they know something we don’t.
