Tonverk speculations

Ai is at work. Only takes a minute now for realistic photos.

It just turned Wednesday in China…

AI can’t do text on images. There’d be misspellings all over it. Or some other “tell”

This better not drop tomorrow and cost an A4mkii and a half

People say this but nobody ever brings comparable examples. Also, getting the same object to show consistently from different angles is definitely not easy.

Disagree that we’re seeing AI generated photos. A sophisticated fake, sure maybe. But it doesn’t have any of the hallmarks of AI

At least it didn’t have the screen protector peeled off. Might have upped the resale value… :grin:

Yep, same reaction here. I’m definitely in the market for a larger form-factor Elektron box (A4/AR size or similar) that does Digitone magic with a bunch of other stuff on top. If this is what I think/hope it could be, then it could be really cool.

Either way, I do hope this is all for real and not some discarded early concept fished out of a dumpster and put on the internet…

Bummer! Guess I won’t find out what brand those pants are!

how much you want?

I have a strong hunch that it is a prototype. I’d be happy with it as-is but as others mentioned, usually they say what it is around the screen. But as we saw with the Syntakt screen cover leak, that can change. I am guessing they wait till development is done to characterize its capabilities

Hmm USB-C to plug other overbridge enabled boxes directly to tap into individual outs for sampling

no pages makes me feel like this will be more of a “macro” controller for other boxes

ie. plug in overbridge enabled box. It can record and playback clips, make it super easy and seamless with other elektron boxes to arrange and manipulate your stuff that lives on the other boxes

maybe im completely wrong, this will be cool though

Not easy but ive been using Runway 3 and in the last year its got really good. Videos from photo images with correct prompts. A static photo would be easier.

I take this as confirmation.

If it has an inbuilt host as implied by the second USB, you may not be incorrect.

yeah until they’ve finished interrogating him.

If this is being manufactured in China ( ? ) that would indicate a lower expense with volume, so maybe ( ? ) not.

Whatever this is, I’m excited for it. Not worth making up ideas about what it’ll do because that almost always inevitably leads to disappointment. Between this and Microkorg 2, I think I might fail my downsizing goals for the year. Or not, if they let me replace a bunch of stuff. We’ll see.
