Any new gear with a joystick !!

Something focused on capturing audio loops from hardware devices (or mic) and arranging them into songs. Synced to midi and with overbridge. Friendly modern Octatrack with less rage. Mini Akai Force with plocks.

A wind synth ! It’s time for the Yamaha vl70m to have a worthy successor (surprisingly it’s still the best for sound design, respiro, swam and all are not quite as good).
a small desktop-Synth with 37 mini keys, all digital, with different engines per osc: sampling, va, fm, etc. + effects and sequencer. formfactor of the digikeys is strictly forbidden!
Another infinitely flexible device like octa, md, mnm, and in many ways AR and A4, that they can they can always break out into smaller releases if they need that easy money.
Also just taking an undefined digi box like Syntakt and using it as a format for additional machines, fx (with the option to have like MD/MnM style sample+bit rate crunch on any machine), mod, would be just as good to me tbh and leave little room for complaints
A true modular sequencer that works with CV and MIDI and to add different sequencer playback modes like random, pendulum, backwards and Euclidean modes found in modular sequencers. That would make me happy since I own tons of Eurorack and Elektron gear. Come on Elektron, if Erica Synths and Winter Modular can do this with way smaller team then you can as well.

With an analog filter that gets raw as shiz, Polivoks-style.

Hello there,
I own the DT and the DN for quite some time now. A thing that really bothers me is, how the design and layout of the DN is so different from the other machines.
The biggest drawdown is the design of the trig keys, which are so tiny in comparison to the other “new style” or MKII machines. For me, it’s just not inspring and sometimes keeps me away from using the (amazing!) sequencer enough. For example, the 4 clown-colored (WHY?!) track keys on the right of the DN are completely obsolete, and could easily be ditched, making room for normal-sized trig-keys. Track-mutes could be solved as on the DT or ST, so like the first four trigs = four tracks.
Why didn’t Elektron implement this in the first place? 
These are maybe some ideas for a Digitone MKII

Why in the name of (enteryourdeity) did you buy it in the first place?
I mean you knew how it looks.
Would you buy a t-shirt in a shop and complain afterwards about it’s look?
No.
edit: don’t want to sound rude. sorry about that.
but anyway: they decided how it look, you decided to buy.

Sure. But sometimes you’ll only know how it “feels” when you use it enough. What I described is just my user experience. The DN is an outstanding machine, no doubt, but in my experience, the UX could even be improved a lot more.

For many years, I have been wanting an Elektron mixer combining the best from high end DJ/performance mixers with the Elektron sequencer. An onboard compressor and the filters from Analog Heat would be nice.

I wished the DN had more polyphony. I think 8 voices on 4 tracks a little bit meh.
At least on the keyboard they have could put more into it.
I had a DN once, I really loved it, but I just hitted the voice count so fast I got frustrated.
Yeah, limits and creativity, etc. 
I too managed to recognise my problem with the voice count while using it - and I did know I only get 8 of them.
Long story short, I have a Digitone I haven’t actually seen yet. I have the other two in the ‘family’ with me and already I can tell the slight difference in design may start to bug me lol.
woulda loved an 8 track digitone alright. as is, its up with my very favorite elektrons, but yea 8 tracks woulda been su-weet.

has there ever been a standalone polysynth that used logic in it’s mod matrix? like the ability to multiply two signals or use boolean logic between two inputs?
in addition to having the flexibility of doing something like routing an envelope through a filter, then into the frequency cutoff of another filter, i would like to be able to do some befaco a+b*c stuff. i guess the elektrons already have the best approximation of a sequential switch built in. i was also thinking some muxlicer type things might also be nice but i cant really think of something that can do which an elektron sequencer can’t. maybe specific stages of multiple modulations into each input?
Blofeld does this afaicr, and one(or more) of its forebears … very rewarding if you master what’s happening - would be a mighty feature in an Elektron box, but I don’t see it happening sadly
