The perfect touch-push-buttons

Elektron Gear Octatrack
1

Hi there
These very fast mechanical switches of Elektron are awesome: they can be pushed “on” on the fly, no need to “push” them deeply like these awful “click” buttons like on the MPC Renaissance, for example. The feeling is the same on the Modular G2, (Nord generally), with the rectangle version, or the Eve/net controller, or faderfox, for example. These buttons should be adopt for any hardware, they are simply the best…… :slight_smile:

I love them. They are like the buttons on old arcade machines.

the more time i spend with elektron, the more convinced i am that the company’s founders are essentially gamers who didn’t want the music to stop when they ran out of lives.

Hi _FFW,
These are the replacement push buttons for the octatrack? Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

I’m convinced they’re all (or mostly) from chiptune/tracker backgrounds.

edit: oops old thread :smiley:
