What gear would you like to see elektron do next?

a dedicated master sequencer/ audio & midi fx processor from wich we would be able to control primary elektron gear but also other midi devices ( like fx processors)

2 midi inputs
4 midi/sync din outputs

usb midi

analog filters per channel (12 & 24)

4 audio fx per channel (including sidechain compression)

sidechain compression input

midi fx per channel

master fx with compression /distortion

8 stereo inputs

step sequencer (midi &fx)

Bring back the more ruggedness of the MD & MM. I like the old version of pots, but at least the new have a lighter & smaller power supply.

  1. A groovebox like Korgs latest Electribe (not the sampler) but with all the good features from elektron (p. Locks etc.) and with much more modulation possibilities. More voices. Able to play samples. Does not have to be analog. Could be digital in order to have more voices, more mod possibilities and more fx types. An intern battery, a small keyboard like the A4, Size should be similar to an electribe. Would pay 1k for something like that!

  2. A digital powersynth like access virus ti2 but with the power of modern hardware! (Virus is almost 10 years old, and still one of the best digi. synths you can get) I would love to see what elektron would be able to do with all the know how and modern hardware.

  3. A wavetable synth. Granular synth or a additive synth. Just a form of sound synthesis that we not already have. We all have probably enougth subtractiv hardware synths! I love analog sound but I also love modulation monsters like Blofeld… ooo how I love my Blofeld :slight_smile:

I would like to see their take on an Ableton controller. However, I don’t think we need new gear, I think new features on existing gear would be great.

I personally like the random trig functions of the Elektron sequencer. It would be nice to see them build and expand the random trig feature… an addition that can essentially randomize synthesis settings, and can conform to whatever scale… randomize any parameter.

Dorian D minor–> randomize random trig
–> randomize synthesis section --> randomize filter section --> randomize LFO section

A button combination to randomize the settings both on a macro level to a scale… and on a parameter lock level for synthesis settings would be the bomb for live improvisation.

It would be great to have the RYTM with this function as well. I don’t think we need new gear. I personally need to be able to randomize anything… with scales.

More then 10 years! I got mine in 2006 and I am sure that it was already on the market for at least a year then.

OverHub2 with on/off switch and included power cable (wall wart is fine).

A little plastic toy version of Cenk. And then some different outfits like

  1. Live in Berlin
  2. Visiting sonicstate
  3. Home in the studio
  4. Going to IKEA on a Sunday.

The outfits will be sold separately.

Yeah! Then there will be miniature versions of all Elektron gear from the Sidstation to the Rytm MK2.

Elektron OverCoat. Id actually buy the full collection

edit: just so you know im cracking up at this, I actually think it would sell like hot cakes. dataline with kung-fu grip

i just hope the prices in Australia will be equivalent to the rest of the world, and then yes, i will invest

From what I’ve heard the they will be manufactured in Perth, so you will most likely be able to get new Cenk-gear a couple of days earlier then me here in Sweden.

Sold! :joy: :speak_no_evil: :heart_eyes:
A speaking doll of Cenk would be like :panda: :heat:

I think it would be cool if the A4 MK2 could lend the voices to act as operators for a more genuine FM synth…use the sounding voice as an input device and BOOM you’ve got a true FM effects processor

I would like to see a USB 3 or Thunderbolt Interface on the new machines, streaming audio. And still Octatrack MK 3, with internal digital synth engine, + sample engine + analog 4 voices. With faders :slight_smile:

An iPad app. A Beatmaker 3 adversary.

said this so many times, and elektron modular in a box would be immense

just get the orthogonal devices er301. it’s a modular sound computer. really is mind blowing. got a walk through from someone who owns one and it’s just so good. route anything to anything inside it. meta, nested patching etc… it’s brilliant for diving into if that’s what you’re looking for.
