Thatâs new machines, this is a mkii upgrade and they had an ongoing evolving timeline of machines often with various prices and you could easily warrant owning multiple machines. This is an effects box with basic upgrades after just two years.
I personally feel thatâs a short life cycle

The technology around smartphones was greatly advancing each year though admittedly itâs slowed down but they need to develop along with computer and microchip technology. Music production gear doesnât as much as you can see decades old gear still being used today. It doesnât have to necessarily keep up with yearly tech trends. Also they work independently whereas phones work alongside networks, video formats, streaming etc and may need upgraded to work with what networks currently offer.
I also think phone upgrades are often minimal and not needed but people love a shiny new phone lol
i know many people who could warrant owning more than one analog heat. Yes the upgrades are basic, but I was just using the MPC example as justification for 2 years not being uncommon for a product life cycle.
I think if you look at the bigger picture, you can still acquire a very similar machine for a heavy discount and if you are a new owner of digitakt/digitone or mk2 units and want uniformity between UI components that it might be worth paying extra for the new unit.
I donât see why people are dogging elektron for this, theyâre giving you more options and making their design more consistent across their product line.
Yâall who canât keep it in your pants when something new comes out can sell your older units at a nice discount for those who donât own a heat, and for new customers they are offered something that is up to date with the rest of their product line

I donât really see the issue here. Itâs just an upgrade to standardise all their products across the board. Sure it wouldâve been nice to have an extra feature thrown in, but itâs already a great product. The price has gone up as well, but this will drop back down if youâre willing to wait. Also, I donât think this had anything to do with overbridge being delayed as itâs already been said that there is a separate team working on that. People just want something to complain about. Nobodyâs forcing you to buy it.

All Elektron employeeâs drop what you are working on and learn the art of completion. You have a backlog of unfinished work, yet you keep making more products to never finish. Its getting rude.
You need to take more resposibility raising the children you have already birthed, so they all grow up making possitive contributions to the worldâŚat the moment you are the equivalent of a mother who continualy gets pregnant then palms her kids off to others, but just keeps knocking out kids with no sence of consequencesâŚits called family planning and even idiots can do itâŚ
Stop rudding and feed the kids you already have.

So when the overbridge team is independent from R&D who is making it then? Marketing?

Exactly. Thas why I bought MK I version.
I didnât know that mk1 has this option. Can you record audio in Ableton/Logic after analog heat processing? So it can be nice option to record sets if all my devices go to analog heat.
My babies making lots of contributions to the world no OB required. Some of us need help, others buy an interface and learn how to multi track

You guys are crazy. I already pointed this out in the original Analog Heat thread; Elektron was producing 6 products, and the Analog Heat was the only one without an OLED display. Did you seriously think theyâd just keep on sourcing inferior parts for that display indefinitely rather than implementing the OLED display used for the DT/DN? That would make no sense.

hehe maybe I chose the wrong term (not an english native speaker, sorry)
what I meant is theyâve stated that the Overbridge team is completely independent from other projects (ie. AH MKII)
plus itâs not like theyâve developed a new project from scratch⌠they just changed some parts and a few graphics, features seem the same as MKI afaik
