From the “a new chapter awaits” email:
Wild speculation ahoy!
MAKE A DRUMFREAK YOU COWARDS
I would throw all of my money at a drum machine with a Microfreak footprint, Drumbrute sequencer, wacky digital sound engines, and all covered in touch plates and knobs.
Pigments drum synth (Pigments Spark?) too!
And analog filters or distortion per voice would be dope, or even a master distortion.
There’s the leaks from February 18th of what was showed at NAMM 2024.
Shhh, it’s a secret.
In three years from now. NAMM 2027
bleh, routable master distortion for the win (like Syntakt)
Spark 3….take my 1000 dollars
Tbh I probably wouldn’t get a drum freak because it would probably be annoying for me to use compared to the syntakt lol. The Arturia sequencer is ok but really doesn’t hold a candle to the Elektron sequencer.
But as a budget alternative to the syntakt there would probably have to be concessions. I bet they wouldn’t have all the ADDA conversions going on the way the syntakt has if they wanted to keep the price in the $400-$600 range:
Pb12
They’re adding Behringer’s Neutron to the VST synth collection and giving all their previous vsts a nice silver finish as they’re inspired by the moves Elektron made. They’d due it to their hardware synths, but Teddy down at the factory lost the original schematics. Darn you Teddy!
It could also be Jif or Skippy.
Let’s not forget the other mystery as well !
You mean this right?
Imo, the coolest thing would be to port their Analog Lab in a hardware keyboard and make it standalone.
So they start with strawberry preserves.
Astrolab
No drumfreak?
