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.
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…
