Time Flies

It’s been ten years since I bought my first Monomachine. So much has changed since then! Elektron has taken over the world :slight_smile:

I used to talk to Ryan (Actuel) at work about how we wished Elektron would make a sampler and get into analog machines. We were wrong, however, in our first prediction: the first post Machinedrum-UW machine would be a dedicated effects box.

I know that some of you here now were around back then.

Geeze, its been 10 years already? I remember drooling over a Sidstation right before they sold out forever. I remember when I scored my first Elektron box, a Machinedrum SPS-1 UW, although it was defective on arrival, the defect actually worked in my favor. I bought it a week before the MKII’s were announced, and because I was midway into an RMA I was able to exchange it for a MKII and a partial refund.

I miss the highly active science labs from back then, I miss how I used to bombard JSRockit with a million questions.

Its wild when you think about it, how most of the speculation of where Elektron would go, were either way off or pinpoint accurate.

Good times man good times.
