I agree with everyone else – i don’t think that means anything. I’ve seen stuff move around before on that list.
What means something is when it’s moved to the Legacy Products category. That’s the signal.
The Keys were rumored to be dead and gone for a very long time, in spite of denials from Elektron – but when it jumped to a legacy product you knew it was over. Fortunately Elektron still supports their legacy products.
OverPhones
Out of those products it is actually the oldest. The Mk2s were announced after the DT.
Maybe they have supplier issues…sometimes parts are missing and that can delay a production for months for smaller business customers, because the part supplier than prefer the bigger customers that ordered bigger numbers of parts. Seen this already with Mutable Instruments. Waldorf is not so big either, quite small company with just a handfull of people.
I wonder how the STVC aside from the Vocoder and the 16 instead of 8 voices for the VA Synth has been improved. The very few demos concentrate rather on the Vocoder part. If it hasn´t improved much, i might get the Streichfett again. I loved that one. Was great fun to use. Check this out:
Model: Ample - Amp simulate your sample.
Korg thing ?
Real/fake …
Eeeeew, it’s butt ugly. All the volcas designed post Tats are on the fugly side. These are simple boxes, keep them simple designwise, dammit!
I prefer the black , reminds me of volca kick .
I’d guess similar price , sound nice and bassy/growls a lot.
Moddable
I won’t be buying one , I had keys and kick , barely used them though they sounded fine.
Back in the day companies didn’t release products with half baked firmware and features, they spent the time to get it right first. That is not what happens nowadays with the Internet.
I would go into detail but the this is the Superbooth thread.
So, 2 days until new Elektron box?!
Since we are all guessing at this point…
My guess is a DT + DN in one box with a keyboard, and song mode. Maybe they will throw in some analog magic to further separate it from the Digi line.
Full sequencer
16 track mono / 8 track stereo (tracks can be paired or mono)
16 track midi with internal routing to use DN for synth, plus ext midi.
All hail SedeTrack
And yes I’ve been drinking.
If like.
Multi engine fx box.
like heat but delays , reverb etc.
Fully configurable
Envelope followers and lfo , cv in
Ability to eq / compress / filter at multiple points in signal chain , not only at end.
Overbridge.
But I suspect with zoia and mod duo x and others that market is getting a bit busy.
Is there anything out right now that’d let you send single tracks from say, the Digitone, to separate FX tracks on the other device? I like the Digitone’s FX but I’ve read others having qualms too with everything going to the same FX.
I guess for the Digitone, and other boxes with 2 outs, it’d have to be proprietary.
Everything overbridge seems to be proprietary elektron tech , and it takes a pretty powerful Mac / pc to do multiple devices , I suspect a mixer / fx box could become expensive and require lots of memory / fast cpu etc.
If they expand on usb class compliant audio it might work but then they’re competing with iPad and usb hub.
I think superbooth is already looking very promising , number 1 synth / weird box place right now.
The Thomann Elektron page (https://www.thomann.de/gb/elektron.html) now shows an empty category “Synthesizers”. This is new, I think. My guess would be, there’s an unreleased product hiding in there…
Anyway, really looking forward to Superbooth.
