Analog Heat - the first of several boxes?

My guess is this isn’t the only box Elektron will release. Similar to OTO, there has to be a few more coming…

Tape Delay ?
Reverb ?

Probably :wink: And it should be nice for making an analog effect chain

Maybe. I hope they return to focus more on things that aren’t so abundant elsewhere tho. Sooooo many fx pedals/racks/units out there already…

I’m with you. I love the layout on this new device though. Like a newer Sherman Filterbank. Not cheap but neither was the Biscuit or Sherman.

Was hoping for that performance mixer ;).

Yeah, I’ve been vaguely eyeing the sherman filterbank for a while. Sounds amazing in videos. The Elektron box does seem to cover a lot of the same ground.

Interested to see some videos but for me it seems a little over-priced and I have similar depth/options already with pedals (once I finally sort out my pedal Midi situation…). For convenience/portability/presets this looks pretty good tho.

Sounds like a cool idea. Personally I’m not interested in this particular bit of kit but an elektron delay/reverb/modulator might be just what I’m after to run old analog synths through.

Exactly this:
Tape (filter)delay+Reverb+Noise gen+Multimode Filter
Kind of Space Echo on steroids…
and I’m in!

Looks pretty hot to me, it does make sense to imagine more to come, and it does sorta have more of an obvious computer use arrangement so you can add the wet FX after this - i’d love this at the end of the AR, but it’d be a pity to mangle the reverb etc

Is there any indication that:

  1. There might be more of these pedals coming, and
  2. There might eventually be a master device to tie all of these together

Elektron delivering optimal sound but still providing that big device that has that inspirational approach that I love

(Please)

Analog Ring !

No direct indication, but there was this brief newspaper report that indicates that Elektron is planning more products based on the development work it has been doing, including Overbridge.

Any other speculation about similar units for pitch- or time-based effects is just us as a community inferring what might be possible given Elektron’s analogue capabilities and Overbridge.

I would just hope that elektron would find a way to maximize their profit for their intensive work on these effects but remain true to their creative method like former boxes. All these same, let this thread be the reincarnation of New Elektron Box 2016 <3 :slight_smile:

Thanks Peter!

A new box? Not the next two years i guess! Instead of smashing a new box to the mass i would vote for more OS enhancements on the actual gear (digi-waves for the A4).

You can imagine Overbridge was a significant milestone for them and a massive workload. Following the 1.0 release you quickly saw some Rytm and Four updates, and now this. If Heat provides a platform for other boxes going forward, with the dust settled on everything else who knows we might see other boxes emerge sooner rather than later.

That would be awesome. I thought by them moving onto the next thing they were considering those boxes a done deal. Is this not usually the case?

FM Heat seems so obvious that in my mind I’m already catching seabass off the back of my powerboat. :content:

So far Elektron has only implemented digital chorus, right? (I’m not sure about any of the analogue range). It would be nice to see a “mod/delay/verb” unit: digitally-controlled but real BB chip chorus effect would be rich, especially if suitable for bass (guitar) and controllable via cv/midi and included an assignable LFO. Perhaps a similarly controlled dual analogue delay (like Strymon’s Dig), and instead of a spring verb, how about a high-quality convolution reverb? I’d love to see Elektron do a hardware impulse response processor. :astonished:
