This thing looks amazing… and the biggest thing of all… playing slices via keyboard! Velocity sensitive! Also, individual stereo outs for each 8 track. Plus, in addition to original 4 Octatrack inputs will be a 13-bit A/D input (E/F).
What we know so far…
Price: TBA
Nice chop, paint it white and call it FM+ and I’ll be down.
har har.
This is some Photoshop wet dream, right? Because in part I want this, and in part I’d be really pissed if this was a thing.
EDIT: Also, all that space and a little screen and so few knobs?
Naw, I don’t need keys on an Octa sampler, I need more crazy performance control. Gimme more X-faders and sound design options. Maybe it’s Photoshop, maybe it’s Maybelleine, but other than Overbridge I don’t think I’d really want anything more on the OT besides Overbridge.
Yes, there is enough space here for 16 tracks.
“We’re proud to announce… Hexadecakeys.”
haha…nice…but im rellay not sure why we need 2 tempo buttons??
The more I look at this the more funny it is.
The unnecessary number of trig buttons gives it away and look at the spacing. Not to mention the copy and paste of the knob section. The 5 octave keyboard. The plethora of missed opportunities like no individual bank select buttons and no Rytm style drum pads etc…
If it was real it would be a disaster.
I preordered one! When is out? Its really unacceptable that its taking so long for the unit to get to me!
I really hope it has granular engine, better pick up machines, overbridge, 256 voices polyphony, 64 tracks and unlimited OS updates with unlimited features. Otherwise I will return it…
Forever out of stock. 
I just wasted 2 min of my life researching the web if this was a fake … to OP : change title, this misleading post is in my opinion uncool …
lol 
One of the 1st things that came to my mind, looking at your figure was “What the point of having a 5 octave keyboard, whereas the OT can only play chromaticaly over 2 octaves !”
I think they run out of trig buttons.
Lol Dataline and Jon 
This 
Don’t forget: auto slicing on transients! 
62 keys?! I bet the volume goes to 11…
I chuckled, but I guess the OP couldn’t wait until April 1, 2015.
As someone whose new OT arrives tomorrow, I am SOOO glad this is a hoax!
If it had the 13bit ad convertors I could get rid of my EPS. Hint hint Elektron. I know it’s a joke.
No D-Beam???
I will pass it.
