also they could do like a belt/rack arrangement that would enable you to reach both sides at once, like a 21st century keytar.
I dont see why not.
I like it the way I made it though.
Too me it’s perfect.

Another Model to go in the new branded sleeve, massive updates for existing machines (better deal for them to double down on this because of supply shortages), Elektron software + controller, and another synth or drum machine flagship eventually

Greentakt : 6 sources portable power plant, up to 3kW, including wind power, photovoltaic, biofuel, Geothermal, hydro power, Wave power.
Song mode available of course.
I had a big insider tell me they are working on a new product to hopefully have a huge effect on Behringer… whatever that means…idk.
Thru said it well be a industry disruption by including a separate engine from all the big companies except Behr…
It will be a workstation with a sequential track, a moog track, a oberheim track, novation track, roland track, waldorf track, and it will feature a battery handle designed by teenage engineering, all in a sleek portable elektron plastic chassis for on the move. It will be called model: analog muvngruvtakt.
Grabbed this from the Dataline Machinedrum jam thread, he seems to think that a “return to the core” is in order. How ‘bout that? Think he’s throwing sneaky hints or just wishful thinking out loud?

That was a swift and unequivocal no, I see.

I’m betting on a Model: Circuit that’s an analog synth.
I doubt Novation would let ‘model:circuit’ fly with trademark-ish (just sayin’!)
Nice digging, but short version he probably doesn’t have any insight to the company as I think he isn’t associated with them anymore.
But that doesn’t also make him not right about it. He clearly understands the company Elektron better than most here. And if he believes it’s inevitable they will go back to it, it will probably happen at some point.
Honestly probably less about “this” release or speculation or whatever this all is, but overall for us this seems huge and makes me hopeful for more fun devices like the past ones.

Elektron sequencer as a eurorack module.
Looking at Digitakt it could be done in a fairly small footprint including parameter pages with envelopes and lfo’s.
If they do that I’ll be going back into modular in an instant.

A good solid MIDI keyboard with a full metal body, MIDI and USB out. Including MIDI arpeggiator and all kinds of MIDI mapping / CC controls.
EDIT: Two octave version also available:

Octatrack MK 3 with two Crossfader‘s
Octatrack MKIII with subtle alterations and Overbridge. They have analog, digital, FM, I’d imagine wavetable at some point as well.
If every device was OB capable, an Elektron ecosystem mixing/mastering box, one that can replace a computer and screen for track finishing. It takes just the USB cable from the Overbridge devices and lets you sculpt every track of each device and p-lock the sculpture.
A main feature I could imagine here would be open source “plugins” within the mixing box, like Korg user tables. Everyone could write their own variation of overdrive, for instance. This would allow people to add a signature to their sound beyond what you are given.
Right now, most Elektron boxes are like a video game, there is a defined set of parameters that they give to us which is great fun but can feel game-y. What we need now is something that is essentially undefined, open ended, lifelike.

The DigiTruss.
It will make a lot of noises, few will be what you wanted to hear.
The cost will be lower the more you earn and if you earn over a certain amount, you will be paid each time you use it out of taxpayers money.
Likely to only work for a couple of months.

Add a few velocity sensitive pads and then we are talking
I wonder if they’ll go software.
I wonder what the profit margins on software vs hard way are.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started doing software.
They’ve learned a lot from overbridge and probably still have a few decent developers on the books.
And when you think about it, Elektron often do something unexpected, like releasing a drum machine when no-one else is making drum machines, or hardware samplers, or FM synths.
Everyone’s bored of Ableton, no-one seems to have much good to say about NI these days. There’s definitely room for something new in software. Not my brew, but it’d definitely be an interesting move, as I can see people drifting back towards using laptops and software more again.
