hopefully they implement the ability to name midi tracks without the workaround of naming a normal track then switching to midi. not that its a big deal to do that, but i think it would be a cool implementation to work into their products as the norm
i was happy when i thought it was just gonna be sy chip + euclidean mode. i just hope it happens soon
I hope (and think) they will include HH Lab too! 
HH Lab was already unofficially confirmed upthread by someone who got to play it at Machina Bristronica.
Syntakt need a classic HH Maschine with the 909 Hats and cymbals and people will go crazy.
909 hats and cymbals
Those are samples 
That said - now that we have stereo samples on DT, what about porting the dt1 sample engines to syntakt since it’ll no longer cannibalize the digitakt sales
Yeah and they are quite lofi so it would be no problem to implement I think. As from a groovebox perspective it would be a game changer for people who make techno ( most of ST users if you search on YT)
But then people would start screaming that they want Slice, and Werp, and Sample Rate Reduction, and oh, what about resampling? why can’t they give us resampling?
And so on.
(Would love a mini sample machine on the ST, btw, but it would need its own unique twist)
Always exciting times when update day gets near. It’s like getting a new piece of gear but for free. Sorry to the person who ended up selling their gear right before this to make it happen.
New hat types would be nice, although I actually completely love the sound of the analog hats on this thing and it’s enough for me. Just getting the single instance of SY Chip makes this a whole new device for me. I can’t wait to make some chiptune on this.
I agree with others that the syntakt really needs a lot of love on the digital side, we have 8 tracks to work with on this thing but I feel like most of the time I use it I’m focused on tracks 9-12, and it’s about to be even more so. Not complaining though! Even with one or two tracks you can fill a lot of air musically.
AphexTwin mode, similar to Novation bass station:
You can pre-load 16 presets on the folded keyboard on one digital track for quick linear drum (or any monophonic) sequence using the step record mode.
A man Can Dream, can’t he?
Kits though?
Track-linking: for polyphony…I bought it thinking it already would (my fault…)
Pure wishful thinking… plus a disclaimer: no expectations or demands or sense of entitlement. These are just personal wishes, thread police!
But this is shaping up to be my dream box, if they’d eventually add the following:
This seems to be the most requested feature, but I suspect this is unlikely for storage and/or product line cannibalisation reasons (there must be a reason it isn’t there as its such an obvious and useful machine to have!)
Yeah. Would be cool if Elektron addressed it. Even if they said a hard “Nope!”. At least it would let the dream die and people could move on.
I suspect they want everyone to pair the Syntakt with the Digitakt!
Sure. And I do. I have a ST and DT (and DN for the record). I’m speaking from a selfish personal perspective and use case.
I use one Elektron box at a time, on my lap. I make fairly different music styles on each.
I really don’t think I would ever sell my DT if ST added a simple sample player.
If ST had a sample player it would become my ultimate Dub Techno box. I’d still keep the DT to make my Boards of Canada sample-based rip-off music, haha.
Syntakt is the defacto digital drum machine in the lineup, replacing Machinedrum in that respect. More digital machines, cymbals and a sample based engine is not a crazy proposition but there’s no sign that this will be that update yet. This one mostly takes it into further Analog Rytm synthesis territory, which makes sense because the machines have already been developed for rytm.
Euclidean is such a fun new thing to play with! I’m most excited for that with the confirmed machines as a close second; haven’t heard either of the acoustic ones, but Chip will be versatile.
I have to say: the 128 steps and directional sequencing parameters are so much more exciting to me, but I’m not holding out hope. Mainly because capitalism, but also because I have to imagine both are doing some serious legwork selling the DTII. I know I personally wouldn’t have looked twice as a current DT owner without those abilities as cool as stereo sampling is.
Yes, good point. I had the MD with sample machine back in the day. Not sure why they wouldn’t do it again. But who knows what they’re thinking? I agree with SLiC, they must have their reasons for omitting it.
But if it’s for the “must collect them all!” factor, I’m at least one person who would still buy and keep multiple machines, and use them for different purposes, and use according to their individual strengths & weaknesses.
