The information trickle is done for a reason. In a vacuum of information, speculation and rumor will fill whatever void the public feels that exists. The reasons for the slow release of information could be a few things:
- Poor marketing strategy
- Purposeful rationing of product details to keep product interest peaked
- Purposeful rationing because product isnāt complete, and they donāt have concrete product information
I am not very familiar with past Elektron new product release strategies, so it may be a repeat of past history. I have a Digitakt on preorder, and will anxiously await its release. My main point of contention is their strategy to make Overbridge a paid add-on. Sucks, but Iāll hang in thereā¦
Regardless of the reason for the slow release of information, i feel that the product release marketing strategy couldāve and should be done in a more concise manner.
ELEKTRON are sorta damned if they do & damned if they donāt.
The Heat 
was a long teaser campaign that was a very long drawn out saga.
@Ryan and others still havenāt fully recovered from that thread.
At least they released info early with some updates over time, rather than watching us devour one another with cyclical rumours.

Oh man! That was brutal! All that build up and anticipation and it was the first Elektron that wasnāt an atomic bomb of desire. Definitely havenāt recovered from that!
If this last tease reveal has been on par with their groovebox releases with the same 3 day wait time, I would have been completely even and back to where I was back on June regarding Elektron releases. But now I need something of equal magnificence to the OT2 to be enthralled with the notion of a new Elektron
Maybe the undisclosed info could be something that would make the DT an add on to the OT that would effectively make the combo an OT2? THEN that would make this the greatest move by Elektron

The USB bandwidth in the Digitakt is 480mbit/s and will support more than the current 8 channels. Exactly how many channels and in what configuration is still being tested.

Iāve seen the videos.
Having thought about it a bit over the last day or two, I have to say for me the most interesting part of the digitakt is the 8 channels of midi with the advanced trig modes.
I can imagine hooking up my korg ER1 and various volcas and sundry other mono synths for some quite interesting evolving blippyness. If we can send those tracks lfos to midi CC then there is quite a depth for fun midi experimentation.
I really wish the elektron crew could find a way of adding 1 or 2 more lfos per track on all their machines though.

Elektronās website says that DT pre-orders start shipping in May.
yea 2 lfoās should be mandatory per channel on all gear imo, as a minimum. it really opens things up.

Sorry if itās been answered before - (Iām not reading 2K posts on a phone), but are the LFOs assignable from track to track Ć la MD?
Is the FN+Knob MD combo working as well? If not, is there a Ctrl-All equivalent?
These are by far my favorite features on the MD.

Agreed.
As of yet neither seem to be the case. Im hoping Elektron sort both those things out.
Dullest thread on the net right nowā¦ especially if youāve been following it from the start

This will not work because of Sounds/Presets.

True that. On the other hand I gotta whine a little as well: That was a great chance of making a 2017 version of the MPC1000, but there are just too many things missing (stereo sampling and playback, velocity on āpadsā, simple slicing, etc.). I go and buy an MPC500 now, so I have a battery powered friend for my OP-1 and wait how things develop.
