Nord + Elektron Collab?!

I would absolutely love a collaboration between Nord and Elektron!

Imagine Nord Drum 3 or 4 synthesis engine combined with Elektron’s sequencer, p-locks, Euclidean mode, and FX.

This could surely fit inside the current ‘Takt shells

Thow in an analog filter, 2-3 LFO, 8ch/voices, 4x stereo out and overbridge usb-c!

Dress it up a limited edition yellow MÖRK BORG edition for the Swedish Triple threat! :sweden::sweden::sweden:

I’d totally pay $1500 usd for one of those!

Not a realistic suggestion, but I feel like it would be kind of cool if a Nord and Elektron collab device were released in both company’s form factor with similar colours.

So yeah, Nord drum engine and Elekron sequencer in a digi box form factor. But also, the same built into the ND3 form with the pads.

I don’t remember the reasons, but wasn’t there an Alesis and Akai VA synth back in the day that was the same but released in different colours? Sort of like that.

I swear that I had a dream about this thread…

Yeah the Alesis Micron and Akai Miniak were the same synth in different housings… iirc one was discontined and the rights were bought by the other company to re-start production something like that anyway.

I also fantasize about this! Nord oscillators are just so good - both their digital and VA sound, IMO, way better than Elektrons.

It’s why I have a Nord Drum 2 and Nord Lead A1 sitting next to my DNII. Even though Digitone ‘does’ digital drums and VA, the equivalent sounds coming out of my Nords are leagues ahead and barely need any post processing…

…and both of those came out over a decade ago.

MÖRK BORG, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 07

(However, it already exists - just without Nord - and it is called Digitone II. One just has to use velocity mod.)

But now, as a French canadian, you should call it StationNord. :wink:

I liked the Model:Nord, but the handle should’ve been red as well.

Jomox + Elektron would also be good.
