I think it’s something small, and even portable?
I also think Elektron has to invest in making a system on a completely new, low powered, chipset, on which they can build many future, slimmer form factor, machines. I expect a lot of R&D has to be put into this.
Looking at the Volcas, Pocket Operators and other small boxes, one could definitely say that they all lack the Elektron depth. Project handling, versatility etc. I think if Elektron brought their depth and sound expertise to a portable form factor, they’d have the upper hand.
But what would it be? Would it do one thing, or many things?
Since the representatives have been quoted saying:
… to me it suggests that it’s a stand alone product, rather than something that interfaces with the current Elektron boxes. So no mixer, or add-on. I think it’s a little synth something.
I know that @Dataline himself is very very fond of lo-fi granular stuff Looking at the love he shares for the Microgranny it’s obvious. So if he’s had any say in this, a small granular could be a first mini device for Elektron, to try out a new platform.
