Iā€™ve got all the Elektron boxes, but MnM is still my favorite. Got a second one as a backup last year. One MnM is awesome. Two is deadly. behold the power of dual MnMā€™s! no external processing or edits, just the stereo out of the machines summed together and put into a compressor.

suffice to say, if they have a MnM successor in the works, Iā€™ll jump on it asap

Iā€™m expecting (hoping for) some major Volca news at NAMM. A lot of places seem to be clearing out Volca inventory at the moment. I wonder if mkiiā€™s are coming. I have fallen back in love with my Volca Keys, Bass, and Kick, so glad I didnā€™t sell them. Dirty, primitive, and unstable in a good way. I find myself wanting the Beats, so fingers crossed for a mkii.

I donā€™t think this is accurate

Last night I though the MD in DT format would be tasty.

Iā€™m predicting an Analog One in the same form factor and at the same price point as the DT.

Apologies if my post was ambiguous, I was referring to the anniversary trade-in offer:

Ah! It appears I was mistaken! Thanks!

Yes have to say a new monomachine like digital synth with lots of modulation options sources decent patch handling and the new elektron sequencer with per step patch selection % trigs etc would be the proverbial mutts nutts.

please yes please god!

Oh yes Iā€™d be up for a synthesist, performance oriented mixer. Compact mixers with a decent amount of stereo channels are inexistent. Doubling mono channels takes so much space and 2 hands to tweak a send or EQ. Stereo sends are pretty much inexistent too, or you have to go to DJ mixers which have limited channel count (and are totally overpriced).

Iā€™m using Mackie mixers because of their routing flexibility, using 4 busses as 2 stereo sends. Analog Heat on the first, Eventide Space on the second. With the channel bus routing buttons I choose which channels are sent to them and whether they 're used as insert or send effects. Elektron can definitely pull this kind of thing into the 21st century.

Which mackie do you have? Iā€™m scouting out a 1202VLZ4 myself

Edit: What i would really love is something like the 1202 with a multimode filter on the master, or on each channel, and as Iā€™m writing this i see the price-tag increasing on my dream :smiley:

In the new form factor.
If they do that, itā€™ll fk me all up.
Iā€™d certainly have to get a grey trinity.

Like it has been said previously, a working Overbridge 2.0 is more than enough for me! BUT if dreaming away, I agree, an Elektron made specialised granular poly would be aaaaaawesome. There are of course way to do it already, but hey, it would be the catā€™s pajamas.

I also think another effect box would be awesome. A creamy analog chorus/flanger/phaser something-something like the Warped Vinyl or anything Chase Bliss really. Or a completely digital reverb/delay (I donā€™t need it personally, but Elektronā€™s verb/delays sound reallly good).

Anyway, whatever it is, keep it up Elektron!

Waldorf has done that granular polyā€¦4000ā‚¬ starting price this end month release. Very impressive machine!

Wow, yes Thatā€™s impressive indeed. I wonder how the resonator works! That would also be a cool box. Like Abletonā€™s resonator, but in an Elektron Box. Also awesome?

But if you take away the keys, that HUGE screen and couple of other bells and whistles, maybe the price would be reachable for more people, I donā€™t know :slight_smile:

Iā€™m coming from a 802VLZ3 which has a nice routing trick with the mute button. It routes that channel to the alt-outputs which gives some flexibility. But I needed more and got the 1642VLZ4 with its 4 mono busses / 2 stereo busses and more auxes.
