How would a Rytm MK3 look like

Yeah.
As Elektron does not seem to Update MK2 anymore its time to wish for MK3. And It better be the beast of all beasts. What could compete in times of Push 3?

Sampling
Analog Machines
Digital Machines
12 Track
6 good Pads
Small Formfactor not those new Flagship bulky big ships…more so old octatrack form.
New sequencer with more options for experiments.

What would you go for?

hopefully they’ll change their sales tactics and make a device where you don’t have to do without certain settings, while another elektron can. e.g. cc control.

  • stereo samples with DT-like machines, stretch etc., BW filter, smooth START/END controls, zero crosspoints for smooth loops
  • extendable drive, maybe CF card like OT?
  • assignable ADSR envelopes with at least 4 param matrix
  • more lfos per track obviously
  • choke tracks optional
  • track layering (as in DN/TR-6S etc.)
  • hopefully unlimited parameters to use with p-locks
  • better DVCO - as in square wave plz

personally I love the form factor, my DN feels too small after AR, at first I was also “this is too big” but it grew on me and now I wish DN was bigger :slight_smile:

Something like this?

probably closer to this.

Octatrack form and less pads for me. Elektrin stuff is just not for playing in and if so you don‘t really need mire than 6 Pads.

Way better!

Give me real-time access to swap between 2 or 4 kits with dedicated buttons. While using Kit A in live record mode, hold the button for Kit B and now you can record trigs from that kit without having to program p-locks. Make it like the DN chiclet track buttons

As far as software, I’d clearly love to see the DT sampling machines in a future Rytm. If digital machines are on the table, I’d like to see a chord machine similar to ST. Or dare to dream, an analog chord machine that used the cymbal/hats oscillators.

This! And more RAM.
