Yeah, why?
No love for the grey analogs here?

I have both side by side. Very very good looking.

None really looks that great, to be honest, at least compared with synths from other companies. Playing with Elektrons live, no one in the audience comes up and says that they look really cool, at least in my experience. If there is a Perfourmer nearby, for instance, they don’t even see the Elektrons.
The gray analogs look dated. And some models are just plain fugly, such as those in the Model series.
But from the Elektron stable, I do like the Machinedrum with the orange screen. Want one pretty bad.

Poor cats, about to get blasted

@djst: You must have some muscle memory playing them both inverted by 180 degrees

The grey analogs look great, unless they are turned on. The colorful lights ruin it.
The newer black versions with more red and dimmed light look better in person IMO.

For me it is definitely the Machinedrum.
I remember well the first time I came across this device on “Equipboard”.
It looked so robust, well-ordered and machine-like, I had to have it.
And I still look at it and love the design. I also have other electron devices, but this is and remains something like “the first love…”

I’d say black AR MK2 if it wasn’t for the misaligned pots above the pads. Thankfully it’s not as noticeable as on the grey MK2.
So for me it’s a toss-up between the MM MK2 and the AH MK2 (don’t know why exactly, it’s just pleasant to look at) with the TM-1 in 3rd place.
I started to feel the Elektron appeal with the design of the Digitakt.
