they are rather technicians than salesman, but as the company is growing, an advanced image-management is needed
many years ago i worked for the sales-department of company with focus on CAD/CAM/Engineering including hardware. My former boss praised the image of the company as pure craftsmanship in this part of the industry. But the constant growing and success needed a more sophisticated communication to our customers and future-customers and of course our competition. Clever marketing was the point and it worked.
anyway ā¦ i hope they will read some of the lines people have written here
I think we killed it.
Picture yourself, back from holidays, looking at what happened during your leaving while scratching your neckā¦
Would you really read 1300 pointless comments ?
Or hit the āMark as read buttonā while yawning, plug an Elektron machine and go fetch the camera to make a new teaser, just for fun ?
The cruel irony of all this chit-chat and āare we there yet?ā commentary is that the marketing dept donāt have to do anything to keep you lot hooked ā¦ I bet if you all went quiet thereād be more news, to keep the momentum of expectation alive ā¦ just sayinā
I hear ya. I think itās as far as a workflow is concerned itāll be similar. Iām thinking plocks without the sequencer. Live record in, not shuffling through pages and programming in beats and riffs. The RYTM has pads to finger drum beats in, but thatās it. The MPC was a production center, the RYTM was just a drum computer.
So, maybe, saying it was going to be a new MPC was a less accurate means of saying its a production center.
Surely, something studio focused that is open to people using acoustical instruments would be down this line. The Elektron flow is useful for making music away from the computer, but a finished piece still requires a computer to complete tracks in. I think their gonna limit the need for the computer and with OB make the computers reintroduction of it amazing
Overbridge Portastudio - battery powered 8 tracks simultaneous record untethered; usb to PC as vst sound card.
Killer feature: 6v/12v power out from the Portastudio to run 2 other elektron boxes (while being a hipster on the bus, taking up 2 seats, making beats)
When it comes to positioning and communication, Elektron is leading the pack. They know exactly what theyāre doing. That we donāt think so, is just part of the mind game.
In my opinion Elektron is going to fast for a new machine, i rather would like to see more new drum engines in the Rytm. Or a way that we can create some custom drum engines via Overbridge for the Rytm. The Rytm drum engine editor
