Forgive me for making this thread, but didn’t see any other appropriate threads for this and I just love the Syntakt. It’s an instrument that immediately sparks joy for me. With all the posts from people clamoring for Elektron firmware updates, I feel like it’s helpful to appreciate the depth of what they’ve already put out. 12 tracks of synth power, flexible with MIDI tracks, awesome analog oscs, overdrive and filters. SY_BITS. FX track sequencing and routing. The analog kicks alone are enough reason to love it. It can go as intense or as ambient as you want it to. I know I’m not alone in thinking this way 🥲 it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I can’t imagine ever getting rid of mine. Feels like I could use it the rest of my life and never stop enjoying it.
If only there would be enough space for an internal battery 
Joking aside: it is my “happy little accidents” machine. Didn’t get much love since DTII arrived, so need to get back to it, thx for pointing out.
I like the unpredictability (is it a word?) and sometimes chaotic results. The mentioned FX tracks and overdrive can crumble the results until not being able to recognize the input at all.
The synth engines are plenty and have everything covered for me. Yes, a lack in the cymbal chamber for some, not for me.
I like it. It is complete, but that does not mean that the FW-magicians could not ad a little 
to it later on.
Funny you open this thread now. I didn’t have a lot of time to play with my machines over the last few weeks. I went back to some older Syntakt projects yesterday for half an hour before going to sleep. I was reaffirmed in my belief that the Syntakt is by far the most fun, powerful, immediate and versatile machine I have. It’s also my favorite Elektron. It always inspires me to come up with something cool and useful.
It already feels complete to me and is truly the best of Elektron machine. I would love to have a pro version of it though, which would upgrade it into the “I don’t need anything else than this” territory for me. This version would look something like that:
- bit bigger form factor like OT MK II, maybe AR/A4 MK II
- an additional cue output that can be assigned flexibly
- added performance mode. Could work like on AR, so they could give it some nice pads that also work as performance tools
- give us some form of polyphony. Four voices would be enough for me. Give us an option to sacrifice tracks to achieve this.
- performance trigs 13-16 wouldn’t be needed anymore, so give us an option to make these into MIDI tracks. Or audio tracks, if you’re willing to upgrade the processor.
- if you upgrade the internals, an option to have more than one analog hihat/cymbal machine track would be great
- some quality of life stuff from DT II like 128 steps and the chorus could also be ported
