BANDMASTA · 2014-12-04T16:26:12.000Z

No D-Beam???

I will pass it.

Tintao · 2014-12-04T16:36:43.000Z

Ahah.

Waouh ! A 64 steps sequencer in one line, how cooool !

JuanSOLO · 2014-12-04T16:48:43.000Z

Dataline FTW!

Feralcope · 2014-12-04T16:53:36.000Z

Dataline up in here telling it like it is.

I think that would be helpful when programming on the fly but it looks like shit lol!

knowing elektron though, i wouldn’t be surprised if the screen was 1x1 pixel lcd from texas instruments.

guga · 2014-12-04T20:04:55.000Z

if this would have been real, i would have seriously started to think about what to sell the first five seconds made me think though…
well, here’s something for Elektron…just chuck an OT in a black aluminium box and there you have it … and whilst you’re at it, that big black empty space on the left could be replaced with a tiny coffee table

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…

128mb ram

62 keys, fully weighted.

Overbridge

OCTAKEYS.jpg2629×810 285 KB

Price: TBA

…although i believe this is still a prototype…there’s a step button overlapping another one on the second octave

You all made me laugh especially mezz303’s first comment.

I didn’t think I had worked on my photo editing skills enough to be convincing. For real, TrabanT? lol.

A sampler keyboard would be cool from Elektron, though.
Name it SAMPL KEYS.

On another topic, anyone interested in weekly or bi-weekly beat battles?

""switchbox"":

haha…nice…but im rellay not sure why we need 2 tempo buttons??

first tempo for scene A, second for scene B

Reminds me of that truly evil “april fools” we got from Elektron about the reverse-keys Monomachine SFX-6. I had money in my hand.

Veets · 2014-12-06T04:23:07.000Z

I heard the bass has been tweaked for the OctaKeys versus the Octatrack. Can someone who has both post a demo?

I heard that Dataline will personally come to the home/studio of the first person to buy the Octakeys and give you a one on one lesson. After that, he’ll make you a bomb grilled cheese sandwich.

That coulda been real where it not for the d-beam, nobody in their right mind designs using a fecking d-beam

mezz303 · 2014-12-06T15:05:16.000Z

OMG when is this released???

I would buy it just for that Send Features Request button.

I love the D-Beam on my Vsynth. I don’t even care that I look like a dik when I’m using it.

Tornfrayed · 2014-12-06T15:09:39.000Z

Can we get a mock up of the rear panel? So many holes needing to be filled…!
