my guess is also that OB release will be soon now, as the 2/2 SOUND Interface feature will need it.

Where have they stated this? OB development is definetily R&D work so if their R&D team is doing something else, it might explain why they canât get OB ready.
I for one think that at this point, they should put their R&D guys to work 100% on OB if they ever intend to get it out.
I think people need to stop spreading this myth that itâs somehow normal for software development to be a year late.
No, it is not normal and okay to sell something and then delay the release of it for a year.

This is great. A thread about the new Analog Heat, yet the majority of the posts are about Overbridge.

Getting upset about OB on a thread for the AH MKII is not that productive imo. To sway things back to âon-topic,â I think it wouldâve been nice if they wouldâve used a different colorful color for the âonâ button, and made all the knobs black

Now I can get a MKI on the cheap!
This is more important than a real OT upgrade? Or a proper sequel to the Monomachine or Machinedrum?
Cool
AH1 always was a bit of a black sheep between the old mki analogs and the new DT design
looks much nicer next to the digi boxes now
and a nice statement about their ongoing support for the sound processor
still, surprised to see a mkii before we ever saw a 2nd, different, processing unit.
looking forward to seeing whatâs next

I agree
I love the Analog Heat, Iâm not selling it or buying the Mk2, so this doesnât affect me. Iâm not mad that they made it. They do them, while I do me 
I donât think it affects OB either, it has nothing to do with OB. Like someone else mentioned, they are different departments.
But I do see why it bothers some.

I have to explain this to upper management at least once a month where I work.
âWeâre not flipping burgers here.â
Thatâs what I tell them.

Nice one! All my mk I analogs just became âvintageâ 
I kinda like the contrast of round buttons vs. squared ones anyway - I can tell which box is analog or digital just by looking at the buttons

What is the difference between the MKI & MKII? the way it handles mono sources? In the video review it says that mono signals on the MKI are sent to both channels, which I donât understand as it is supposed to be a true stereo device. Unless it detects mono input and auto sends it to both channels?

Loopop says that this is the case. The new manual shows that the L input for the Mk2 is also marked as Mono.
This may or may not be an OS 1.10 improvement that could come to the AH Mk1.
EDIT: The new change log and manual for Mk1 (OS 1.10) does not discuss this so mono input splitting to two channels appears to be a hardware feature of Mk2 only (subject to confirmation by Elektron).

the mk1 was expensive, this seems even more so. those few sidegrades cant be 200 bucks in parts, they just try to rip us off even more now, youâve lost a potential customer right there.

Plot twist: Numark has secretly acquired Elektron. Soon all Elektron devices will be midi controllers only, haha.

Thatâs a $40 difference. What kind of sensational math are you using to come up with that $200 figure?

umm no, my OT is mk II so square buttons
IIRC there was also something in recent elektronâs email about square/circle (analog/digital). Funny that

Pidgeo up top stated ââŹ200 more expensive than mk1?â
Asking a question.
Then people started posting âwhat, $200 more?!!? Thatâs crazyâ
This is how rumors get started! People not listening or reading whatâs really being said. Just hearing & seeing what they want.
Well came here to see the chaos and I certainly got it 
but more seriously this is just part of the process of them moving over to new components for all there products⌠how much time could this have possibly taken from overbridge if the same people were working on both. It does make me worry a bit about the potential repairs on the old units going forward hopefully they have some production set on the old stuff to keep people repairing going forwards. Does elektron still repair monomachine and machinedrum?

ive been to their place in LA and iâm betting they kept a hefty supply of older parts to continue to service any mk1 for a while. They build in predictive analytics to estimate supply on manufacturing and servicing units for years⌠that is until you get the âwe no longer support Xâ email.
