Found these old Elektron brochures the other day

Way before the Mk2s, before the A4, before the OT, before the MDUW even!
Pretty cool stuff - there’s something that even looks like a distant ancestor of the digitakt/rytm on the MD concepts page :slight_smile:

That one of the early sketches of the Machinedrum looks like a 1950s vision of the future <3

My hero!

Excellent job with these!

The MM prototype gizmo says “Teenage Audio” on it. Is this any relation to early days of Teenage Engineering?

Yes indeed.
Check the credits, you’ll find OP-1’s Daddy among the concepters…

Thx @okpk !!

LOVING the look of some those early prototypes!

The “Chrysler Big Boy” study of the MD looks like it came from the d16 guys.

I have those too, I also have the Sidstation poster which has a cheeky reference to 2001, I really like the Elektron artwork from back in the day, when the dark trinity came along it went a bit industrial gothic, but those early examples remind me of a arcade/anime mashup with a cool retro futuristic aesthetic.
