Speculation: Machinedrum Mk3?

reeloy · 2021-03-21T08:15:44.254Z

…it looks like a takt…but it’s not…
…it has the same formfactor, but it has a brushed silver finish…and an orange/red oled display…
…says something like machinery on it’s frontpanel…
…it has 16 engines/machines to choose from…a various little collection of digisynth algorithm models on their own…some of those names sound weird…some pretty familiar…
…sid, kick, sn, voice, chord, clap, buzz, metal, ring…well, u name it…u pick what u want…
…what is this…?..ah, the return off all the old swedish cult machines at once…
combined in one new little monsta machine…
and with every next update, u might get, from time to time, a few more new weird little sound machines added to ur cult collection…
that’s a killer product…and it will come…

…16 independent machine slots…all with their dedicated plok seq lanes each…
…to be filled by various sound engines…those from machinedrum…those from monomachine…
also the sid…
and also various further fx engines and synth algos u’ve never heard of…
each slot/track has two inner fx slots…
but u could also use fx engines as track/sound sources…yeah, we’re talking neighbour trax here…
while u also got 16 miditracks…including arp and key settings for all…

slim fresh coding on the exact, already existing basic hardware setup of a digitone…
do it, sweden, just do it…that’s THE product u can sell for years to come…

hahaha amen BOSS .
Seen that video about a Thousand time …

people don’t seem to grasp the Ultimate possibilities of the Machinedrum .
I’m just hoping to an Updated version .

Cycles is plenty serious. Everyone was nutting at the sound demos before they saw what was making it. Then the trash talk started

Guilty…

While a big advocate for a MKIII / Digidrum, I wouldn’t be disappointed if Elektron released a Model:P-I/GND hybrid.

Ryan · 2021-04-10T20:38:54.389Z

I just recently got a model cycles. And while the concerns I had prior are there in regards to limited sound design, the form factor of the machine is still a step forward for elektron boxes.

I would love for them to:

continue with the machine music making method
combine the model parameter layout with deeper sound design possibilities

craig · 2021-04-10T22:20:00.293Z

Cycles just really needs some more machines, then it would be great. Too limited right now.

Adam9 · 2021-04-10T23:50:26.244Z

Yip needs an FM into bit reduction machine for robotic percussion, and at least a master plockable filter pre reverb and delay…

also a few dual osc engines with various ways of cross modulating the oscs, (phase, fold, sum, subtract)

Alot of what I’m hearing now all sounds like a remix of the same song…so surely if Elektron are never planning on a MKIII for a machine drum some of the ideas could be flicked over to the cycles…

I’m sure I’m dreaming though.

Or a super-model cycles. Ooh-La-La!

Model:BiCycles

12 different Machines.

Dream big, use a stronger arithmetic operator. 6 times 6 is 36. 6 to the power 6… no, not really practical.

6 to the power 6

I don’t want another Mortgage.

plragde · 2021-04-11T00:21:12.037Z

But imagine the knobs!

Ryan · 2021-04-11T01:13:41.245Z

I can almost see it…it’s beautiful…

36 knobs in a perfect grid…plenty of parameters.

Control all.

Yes

Yes!

YES!

plragde · 2021-04-11T01:25:40.536Z

I am reminded of Aimee Semple McPherson’s vision where she saw the 144,000 angels of Revelation 7:4 standing in a perfect square. Problem is that 144 is a perfect square, but 144,000 is not.

But 6 to the power 6 is a perfect square, 216 by 216. And you thought the knobs on a Volca were tiny…

necro thread erect -

Can you assign 3rd party VSTs like Serum or Hive to play from just one pad so you can play a different synth/sound on each pad?
