Elektron would not be @ NAMM if they did not have a brand new product—expect another newsletter very shortly 
Elektron did Hint at something amazing to announce… could be just OB2, but then again… we’ll know soon enough though

I personally think it is a product, and I hope it is AK mk2.

I don’t think another product is unlikely, I just think that a preview of what new product exactly is being introduced, in an email a week before the convention is unlikely. Especially with the drop of OB2 pre NAMM. But I am actually kinda hoping for a few things to materialize from elektron.
But yeah, the update email already talks about “catch us at NAMM in booth xxxx with xxxx” saying they will be showing OB as well as some products. But no teaser videos for a new product have been released. Maybe they realized the heat teaser was so bad they are gonna shy away from them.
What’s this? – from Teenage Engineering – A Modular!?
Mod edit : discussed here fwiw >

That’s exciting! I can’t wait to see how this influences future gear!
Would the new protocol require a material change? Or is it just changing the protocol and could apply to already existing gear?
Midi 2.0 – Adding auto-configuration, new DAW/web integrations, extended resolution, increased expressiveness, and tighter timing – all while staying backward compatible.
Sounds good to me.

Man those are some trippy color ways, but I like it.

well given that NAMM lists elektron also under the “keyboards” section, AK mk II might be a possibility
Now would anybody be disappointed if the keyboard turned out to be an elektron midi controller?
I wouldn’t

I hate teaser! Behringer and Roland were the worst. Elektron too with their Rytm teasing…ugh! But at least Elektron learned from that with the Digi Series.
I like what TE did now. No rumours, no teasing…just BOOOOM cool products, available now!

I personally would be very happy with a new Elektron box, since I’ll need to wait at least a year for the bugs to be worked out for me to be able to buy it! 
But joking aside, a new box would be great, I’m especially hoping for either a mixer/fx/sequencer as many have suggested or some sort of MD reincarnation.
Also looking forward to seeing what the Waldorf Kyra is all about.
Still hoping for new Roland SP sampler or new groovebox but not holding my breath.

Yeah I learnt my lesson with DT and Mpc Live. Waiting at least a year after release before buying anything Akai or Elektron now

Yes that was my thoughts too, those videos don;t just appear. they are co-ordinated with the Youtuber.

if elektron makes this in a similar sfx-6 formfactor to match the depth/width of the classic boxes/digi boxes i’ll pee my pants

The market is oversaturated with analog synths —if its “keys” a cheaper version of Waldorf Quantum but done Elektron way is what the market wants I think we will see next week
Very japanese.
