Imagine TE or Elektron giving its paying customers a product and feature roadmap for them to decide if their purchases will continue to be evolved to their needs. Crazy talk.

Yamaha A3000… omg … the sampler for masochists
I once had this thing (about 2008/2009) before I engaged with Elektron-gear … a nightmare to program, sample-loading was slow as hell, …

SCSI transfer speed was slow but the sampler in itself was pretty good. Filters and internal FX were really nice.

I hope the part where it says, “addressing user-reported challenges with external gear” is about the MIDI On bug & that they finally killed that old roach.

yeah I know, used that thing rather as FX processor, but that size man… deep like a server, heavy as hell …
i had to find special cables, SCSI-drives and RAM from the 90ties … what a journey … I also organized a jaz-drive… (turned out to be broken) can you imagine that … 1,5 years of pain, terrible pain as a whole … and after I had enough … I sold it to a guy in France - another pain because I had no original package so I constructed a case made of pressed wood plates … when I finished this endeavor I told myself: never ever again - never ever again !!!
the Octatrack was a relief multiplied by 10000 in comparison!!!

No moaning from me at least! I can easily wait 3 more months.

You’re a good one though. You’re more of a glass-half-full than empty guy.

Ugh. Now I have to download and test something myself? Gross.
I know, a company supporting their product instead of releasing new shiny hardware. Worst company ever.

So true… Such a big and heavy rack unit. And those flimsy knobs breaking with time…
The A4000 and 5000 were a bit better, but still…

My money is for constant Midi Clock 
. The Note off bug isn’t exclusive to external gear so I’m thinking that it isn’t that, although I would very much like it fixed. Saying that if external gear is refering to external sequencers then it could totally mean the Note Off bug. We shall see.

Yeah. I know this is marketing and euphemisms are the name of the game, but still: “Challenges” as a substitute for “problems” is so silly. A challenge is making a nice beat. MIDI notes being cut off are not

They’ll fix the Note Off bug, and spin it as a new feature. I kid you not.
