What are the major differences between MK1 and MK11?

I couldn’t find anything substantial online that listed the exact differences between the MnM MK1 and MK2, is there anyone out there that could enlighten me?

I know in the wavetable engine in the MK2 there’s the ability to load user wave tables and also there’s ensemble waves but other than that I don’t know that there’s anything major.

Not 100% sure, but I believe the mkii has a 64 steps sequencer, are build better (encoders, outputs, printboard etc), and yeah, it has uw options and can be expanded with +drive. Also, it’s newer.

Biggest factor, paying this much, should imo be the build quality and longevity. I think elektronauts still has spare parts for the mkii, and they don’t support mki anymore.

Both have 64 steps, mk2 has additional user waveforms and +drive support, also case is not as deep. Everything else is the same IIRC.

Manual availability and MKI vs MKII

Page 114 of the manual lists the hardware differences between the two versions. Other differences are listed throughout the manual. Make sure that your MM comes with the correct power supply. The power supplies for Mk1 and Mk2 are different. When you get your MM, check which version of the OS is loaded. The most recent version is 1.32B and can be downloaded from Elektron’s website. I imagine that most people are happy with a printout of the PDF manual. If you find an original paper copy to pu…

Thanks that’s exactly what I was looking for
