Another Philly area guy here, mine is stuck in Germany too. I was hoping to have it for the weekend, but no idea when it will arrive.

Awesomesauce.
@abentin I feel your pain. I have an especially open weekend this week and I was really hoping to spend it with the ST.
Syntakt from Thomann finally there! And with a scratch on the front panel 
Time to open a ticket.
Played a bit with it, so far impressions are a bit mixed:
- Machines are more limited than what I thought, but there’s still a lot to play with using filters, env and lfos. It’s also a good thing for focus.
- I’m really surprised by the lack of dual mono inputs option like in DT/DN! Hopefully this will be fixed with an update.
- Mod channels are fun, should be great for live expression and tweaks as it can be sequenced too.
- I need more testing, but the sound seems to have less space and width than on DT/DN, again a bit of a surprise.
- I really miss the DT compressor to give some breath to the sound, but I have yet to play with the analog reverse amp.

FedEx promised an update by 1 PM local time.
As far as I can tell, their update is that they have no idea when it will arrive, and no idea when they will be able to tell me when it will arrive.

It’s there. You have to go in the Settings to set it. It was my first request for the Syntakt.

Clips? Are you in the beta
OK- just ordered an ST from Elektron, so we’ll see how long it takes. All for science.
I really like what I’m hearing, and prefer the DT sized buttons and layout vs the DN. If the ST works out, it may replace the DN in my setup.

Mine just arrived. Can’t wait to dig in!
ST will not replace DN unless you were using DN just for transient sounds mainly drum and noise

Only one way to find out
The DN is great, and may likely end up with the digi-trinity (currently have a DT and DN)
Yes best way is try it out like I am doing
So far I don’t think it is the best Elektron to date
UPDATE: my Syntakt has arrived at Long & McQuade and is ready for pickup. Should be a fun weekend!

I’m thinking maybe I should cancel my order at Moog and get one directly from Elektron… I’m going abroad in two weeks and god knows when they will get another batch 
I would call Moog first to see if they have any ETA.
I did and as you said, they have no idea. He just told me that they only got 22 on the 80 units they have ordered.
