Ive just got back into Elektron devices, have owned them all nearly over the years.
Just bought a new Syntakt, Digitone and today the Black Octatrack . Realised now that Ive been watching the Anniversary version (Red Rec buttons and different faceplate)on YT… A bummer cause the Anni faceplate and the red rec buttons sold me on the look! Oh well I have a black one arriving.
What differences are there apart from rec record and faceplate design?
The anniversary edition doesn’t seem to have issues with the sound quality like the original…. strange as nothing is different about them hardware wise, but the anniversary editions are supposed to sound “deeper” and “richer,” and there’s reports that the effects sound “vintage” and “classic” instead of “dated.”
Your mileage may vary though, they sound the same to me. (Seriously though, they’re the same minus a few aesthetic changes.)
I borrowed a friends Tone and my new Tone arrived noticed some differences. Power supply is smaller and the Track Mute colour buttons are lighter in colour and slightly more see through.
