Dude. Those videos got incrementally better. Thanks for sharing all of them!

If NASA designed a synth it would look and sound like this.

Lieder · January 18, 2020, 12:34am

Holy shit batman!
Any word on price?

guictr · January 18, 2020, 1:20am

Word is between $49 and $99 for each module.

I’d like to know if they plan to sell the whole system.

Natural_Mystic · January 18, 2020, 1:28am

The designer has an engineering background and used to work in Formula 1, so you’re not far off the mark.

might be cool? all i do in a daw is recording…but… MAC and thunderbolt only? i have a twin/usb =(

Munro · January 18, 2020, 1:41am

I really hope nothing comes out that I want.

Lieder · January 18, 2020, 1:59am

Yeah that’s I was looking for. Hopefully buying the whole system at once will be even cheaper. I’m guessing $1300 - $1500 range.

Someones grandma is going to get them this thinking it’s Maschine

v00d00ppl · January 18, 2020, 2:30am

Yup just like when you have a relative go to Asia and buy you a knock off game boy.

praying we see some no talking demos of the megafm cause twisted electrons’ SoundCloud demos are pretty useless lol

Cepheid · January 18, 2020, 3:37am

Megafm looks dope. Love all the controls on the surface. Sounds really good too!

ecthroi · January 18, 2020, 4:03am

been hoping we’ll see some more info so i can figure out if i’m gonna buy one or not

DkirbyDamonkirby · January 18, 2020, 4:23am

I chat with Tw.E’s main (synth designer) from time to time, really cool kat…he told me about this one a bit before the release, I have to say they did it proper…sounds amazing! the only synth I’m interested so far. The chipset has a knarly dirty low end and lots of character. MegaFM is the definitely the most mature of the products available with the YM2612 chipset (kasser synths has a single chip version synth available with the choice of either the ym2612/ym3436 a less noise version of the same chip) definitely worth checking out, if you’re on a budget.

Six06 · January 18, 2020, 4:50am

Just curious, in case I missed it: was any sort of digital drum synthesizer announced? (Machinedrum type thing)

TRAINTRACS · January 18, 2020, 8:00am

Nope

mec1 · January 18, 2020, 8:08am

Nada

lemons · January 18, 2020, 11:12am

Seems Elektron is not even participating at NAMM?

Are they developing anything new anymore? It’s been two years since their last proper box (not counting M:S, which is one year old) and even longer since their last proper big box.
