Introducing Tonverk

This is a pleasant surprise! I like that they went all in on polyphonic sampling. There are quite a few boxes that do auto-multi-sampling and/or support polyphonic sample tracks, but this is purpose-built and seems super powerful. It was also fun to watch EZBOT struggle with the subtle workflow changes.

Can’t wait to hear the tunes people make with it!

This is my biggest wtf as well. Like you can add one other device to it to use all these effects. The OT configuration of 4in 4out makes A LOT more sense for this device.

and it also gives you a Hologram Console or Stereo Dradd on top
and some more

We love you Digitakt, but the subtracks for the drums and the polyphony must leave you a bitter taste
OK no slice machine

You’re comparing an expensive analog synth going into an expensive analog filterbank to a wholly digital machine that cost less than either of those?

Best way to date folders.

yes because there are digital ones (like the ERICA filterbank module)
and also because it is like it is completely NOT a filterbank.
It makes no sense to call it filterbank if it sounds like a 3db EQ

but i am sure there must be something wrong, it cannot sound like this.

Not digital.

It’s an analogue filterbank with digital controls.

Also over £300 alone.

Ordered and cancelled… Nothing for me

Are the knobs & buttons coated in “the stuff” again? Haven’t seen an answer yet

I agree that the brief demo did not sound like a filterbank should. But it was really quick. And it is never going to sound like an analog filterbank.

didn’t know, thanks.
Still, the filterbank in Tonverk must be wrong. ELEKTRON knows, how a filterbank sounds and of course it won’t sound like an SND FB14, but …

Especially as it won’t have the analog mojo, I would like resonance, tilt or some other controls besides just the band controls.

Sold out some fast, from Elektron’s website. It’s cheaper than in Canadian stores, so I’ll likely wait for it to come back in-stock.

Are restocks typically a weeks-long thing?

doesn’t have to. “Similar” would be enough :joy:

i mean, they also don’t put in a phaser that does not phase, right?

hey you take that back :rage:

Why do you say it doesn’t phase?

I was an inch away from buying the OXI One MKII for sequencing purposes and this has made me question everything.

I think for me to buy one, I’d want it to be more different from the normal Elektron, XOX workflow, which I’ve kind of moved on from on the whole. Totally a me issue though, it’s definitely a fine bit of kit and the effects sound really fucking decent. Not gonna lie, my trigger finger got itchy during @Jeanne’s video.

One of my octatracks is getting nervous…
