At only about one month of its availability, a poor image is all we are given to present the OT mk2 …
It’s even worse than the introduction of the DT they did @ NAMM in january … 
I wouldn’t worry about it as they look like the same ones as Digitakt has, based on what they said about them being durable buttons and based of my time spent using them👍
notable difference: no teasing, just straight up “here’s the new thing, it does that and it doesn’t do that and it will cost this and will be available then” - isn’t this what everyone wanted?

If your interested in what the OT mk2 can do you can watch all the current demos and tutorials and whatnot since it runs the same OS and has the same basic features as the mk1, you just won’t see the new buttons that access the features more quickly…

I have to say, I’m pretty smitten with the OT. Lately, I’m loving grabbing a PM sample of my tanbur with delay and reverb on it (plus a neighbor machine) and then playing the PM sample in chromatic mode while I sing over top on the same audio channel 
Little stuff, but I love it.
I especially love this trick too:

Can anyone from 
comment on whether or not we will be able to play sample slices (from a sample chain) via an external midi keyboard this time around? Maybe even with velocity?

Respect 
Just a little large to gig with if one has other gear to consider. If Elektron built a sampler the size of the new analogs, I’d humbly suggest it contain 16/16 tracks or less tracks with some analog components? I don’t know, just glad the new OT is OT sized. Like the ergonomics of the analogs, though.
What’s wrong with that dude.
Could have just got a little laptop and NI Traktor.

A shame we all don’t have the luxury of a gear truck, with roadies and techs. I’m sure size wouldn’t be a concern to any of us

My only point was that the extra size can matter, if one travels and carries all their own gear to the gig. If you’ve got the energy/roadies to have a rig that size (not all of us use just “boxes”; instruments come in many shapes and sizes), then more power to you!
btw: I know you meant 15 not 1.5

No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying size is a consideration for me (I’m thinking of all the stuff I am traveling with as a whole). If it’s not for you, that’s fine. There’s no need to be condescending with silly references to gym memberships and road cases. We always have the opportunity to keep the conversation at an adult level.

Anyway, back to the OT: The more I look at the extra buttons, the more I think, I could really appreciate quicker access with some of those functions, especially clearing a recording slot and accessing the audio editor.
