I’m wondering who they’re going for here. I’m hardcore keyboard player and don’t immediately attract to this.
However, for the tweakers, I’m not sure a midi keyboard isn’t just a hell of a lot more convenient. So feels like most of them won’t go for this either.
The Analog Keys made a lot of workflow sense if you were a keyboard player, and even if you weren’t, it had a lot of convenience built into it compared to the module.
But this one … I don’t know. It does seem a bit indecisive.
So what we’re naming this bad boy?
DNK ? DK ?
That’s what I meant, multiple parameters being mapped to one knob macro.
I wonder why they did away with the leds for each key? Always loved watching my sequences play out on the AK.
Song mode?
User assignable encoders doesn’t mean automatically A4-like performance macros. I’ll guess they are just simple single value controls (otherwise marketing would have jumped on it, isn’t it?).
OK, I love my Digitone and am very grateful for the updates top my box…
BUT THAT THING IS FUGLY
restrictions are for the dreamless
The track button leds don’t also seem to be flickering with each trig. Has that feature been “disabled”?
If this is the case, what a big improvement to know which track you are in (without looking at the screen). That was my one main grip with DN.
That’s the case on my updated DN.
Having owned a few AKs I actually think the opposite that this is more practical in my case! A lot less wasted space. I’m delighted with this announcement.
A4 performance mode allows multiple parameters in multiple tracks to be assigned to one knob.
No.
For the price I would rather have a Digitone & Minilogue XD. That would give 12 voices of crazy versatility with the new parameter locks on the XD.
Well, I’ll def give it a go in the store, once it pops up. Could be that the very clear separation provides for a more focused experience.
Strange that I couldn’t find it in the update release notes.
Not what I had hoped for, but a nice looking instrument in it’s own right. As a DN owner I’d rather buy a 2nd one to be able to process individual outs should I be so inclined.
Don’t know… why not a proper elektron keyboard with proper dedicated controls for multiple Elektron machines?
I would love to see Elektron Keys line (25/49/61/88) with multiple midi/cv/gate outs.
