Not again. 
“The analog circuitry of Analog Four MKII has been thoroughly reworked and provides deep, clear and defined bass plus a more prominent analog overdrive/distortion effect.”
I’m doubtful they’d do it, but it would be amazing if elektron would offer to retrofit at least a couple of the new features to a mk1 machine. Say the individual outs and cv inputs on the a4.
Outs are certainly possible, cv inputs may be, depending on how exactly the modulation bus works.
It’s a stretch I know, but it was once an option to pay to have them retrofit a +drive to older machinedrums.
Why?
Just received word from the retailer I pre-ordered from that the mkII release has been delayed until the first week of 2018?!
+:3lektron:=:grinning:
I can confirm that my rep at one of the larger US retailers said this morning that the A4 and AR are not expected until January.
Nice i would like to buy a new Lens for my DSLR if Elektron are not ready i will have 4 month to make my Dream of a Telephoto lens come true 
Cool … but get back to Music in 2018 thought 
Canon? ^
Yep and those filters. I’m a fussy sob, but this is what sold me. This vid below. Plus, I asked myself, what I do when I make music? Am I a keyboard player? Not really. I push a key and let the ARP do the work, or I program midi and hit play. To me the A4 is more suited to what I like to do, that is sequence and manipulate live music. Most of the videos of the A4 to me is just wimpy music which I hate. Bee Bop bullshit. Then I saw this. SOLD!!!
Fiddlestickz don’t play!!
Really hope this isn’t true. I’m a recent convert to Elektron following the purchase of the Digitakt and was looking forward to the introduction of the new four.
same here, just placed an order for an AR mkii expecting it to be delivered around October (as per news all over), retailer informed that it may be delivered only in January 2018.
what I find weird is that the old products are no longer available, leaving a sales gap of almost 5 months! what is going on with Elektron?
Wasn’t there something stating the delayed dates were a lie? I can believe that as it doesn’t make business sense to leave a huge gap.
I got the info from Sweetwater sales rep a few hours ago, they said it can be delivered before January 2018, but no guarantees.
About this statement Jukka posted the link, I plan on sending it to Sweetwater, but I do not see how it could guarantee an earlier delivery.
any suggestions?
thanks man, crossing my fingers.
I don’t think I can wait until Jan-18.
