Place your bets! Which Elektron box will see an update next?

+1 on OT

It’s [arguably] their best machine yet, but it’s getting dated. Compact flash, no OB, effects starting to sound dated, not the same form factor as other MK2 devices, would love to see CV out (not likely though),… but still an amazing device!

definitely Digitakt with some scatter/random functions and more filtering!

Class Compliant Audio for Digitakt and Digitone, so you can use them as audio interfaces for iOS. Or just record them to iOS.

Digiwave 1.01 update.

Hopefully OT, it has been a while since last update, a few things need fixing and it could do with a couple of refinements too.

The other flagship boxes are pretty feature rich and relatively bug free, same for the mid price duo and the models.

What are odds of song mode materialising in 2020? :thinking:

If I’d guess I’d say maintenance update for dn and dt. Some simple new workflow features and bug updates.

A DT Mk2 would be an instant buy for me

Yes! DT MK2 with stereo sampling, pads, more knobs for hands on tweaking like the model line, more memory and processing power for more effects and filters. Oh, and a proper song mode of course. I would think that will be next up for a major release at namm 2021.

My bet is on “usb audio sampling” on the M:S. Well it is more of a lottery bet…

I’m not sure Elektron offices are even open at the moment :frowning:

Do you know that everyone is in smart working?

Businesses are continuing you don’t need to be in an office to develop/program/ software or prototypes

I agree - OT. Coming up to three years since the mk2 was released, so an OB enabled mk3 with the updated effects of the newer boxes and better time/pitch stretching algos etc is about due given how much of a flagship the unit is for Elektron.

I don’t think the Digitakt needs a big update - gimme a simple EQ per track and that trig+yes p-lock preview suggestion and I’ll be happy. There’s plenty of affordable stuff for handling longer stereo samples IMO and that’s just too much of an overhaul of the device’s basic purpose to be realistic.

Yeah, but productivity is lost when not at the office

Second filter (or bandpass) for DT and solo mode for DT and DN

Elektron managed to release Overbridge this month, with everyone working from home. Which is quite impressive.

Yeah a little bit - it depends from the business

I know from personal experience that this tends to be true. Though I use heavy 3D CAD software which needs to download big CAD files via VPN, which takes a butt load of time.

Then there’s the workspace problem as well. I have two 27 inch monitors (plus laptop monitor) at work and I only use my laptop monitor when working from home. So just with that I’m more effective at work.

So I tend to agree… not sure how it is for software people though, but I’m guessing a lot of coders share the workspace problem.
