Elektron might be cooking something up for the Octatrack

Count on Rusty to appear at the mention of chokladflarn :yum:

I own 2 Elektrons (ot&ar) and one B mixing desk (ufx1204). How do I fit into your analysis? :thinking:
But yeah elektron is pretty safe from being cloned. Octatrack might even be safe from being cloned by elektron itself…

Octatracks are actually an army of rogue AIs disguised as metal bricks. 20 January 2021 is the activation date. BEWARE!!!

You’re not a Mackie mixer customer, you’re a Behringer one and you won’t buy a Mackie.
But you won’t buy an Octatrack made by Behringer.

Wrong on the first point… I own a VLZ4 802 which I used extensively for live shows (back when people used to show their mouths in public). It now serves as a studio mixer for my moogs. I would love to upgrade to SSL, Toft or a Neve or such, but how to pay for that? :grin:

Correct on the second point, I won’t buy a Bctatrack.
But even just rumours of a proper successor to the OT by elektron themselves are definitely a reason for me to start saving money.

Let’s say I’m a customer for B products if their name is either BCR2000 or UFX1604 (the truly innovative stuff that they are also capable of).

I still enjoy my mk2 more, but I was jealously surprised how big is the screen of mk1.

Everybody is thinking about black version, why not a white version? Or transparent?

You’re a smart man then it doesn’t count :wink:
Honestly I don’t understand why Behringer didn’t carry on by doing that. Also their audio interface are decent, I don’t think they’re clones.

You really want the Abyss to gaze back into you? :grinning:

@darenager speaking the truth!

I’m thinking about a better version who cares about the colour😂 I can always paint it or get a skin. In the end whatever colour they do they always end up with a basic single tone, boring.
Do people really like factory colours?

I like the MK2 color, would never change that, though.

Upon removing the last screw and opening up his Octatrack’s hulking carcass, Johnny discovered that this box of wonder was, in fact, empty. Where he had expected circuit boards, only a void.
“Oh my”, exclaimed Johnny, aghast at his bewildering discovery. “Was all that music just happening in my head?”
“Well of course it was”, whispered Morgan Freeman.

I do care a lot. Almost all my gear is black or painted black. But I paint the things I’m sure to keep. So yes, I see a black MKII coming with a nice update…

Because there are black AR/A4 MKIIs.
But for you, maybe they’d make a black and white version?

Maybe the real Octatrack was the friends we met along the way.
