What’s next for Ess / Fors?

[colonel_mustard]

I just had a profound moment of satori, but it’s evaded capture.

Ah well.

What’s he building in there?

Tom Waits "what's he building in there"

[J3RK]

The funny thing is that I can think of ways that this could be useful.

[thermionic]

Mick Gordon cover band?

[J3RK]

That’s only one of many! Rip and Tear!

[Ess]

Right now, what’s next is finishing up the website. There will be a mailing list to sign up for eventually.

Bye-bye

My dear Elektronauts community, I’m sad to be writing this, but the time has come for me to move on. At the end of October I’m officially leaving both Elektron and Sweden. I started at Elektron in March 2015 as part of the customer support team. Being a huge fan of Elektron (I remember reading the MnM and MD manuals cover-to-cover multiple times as a teenager) I was elated to join. Back then I never thought I would end up designing the GUI, features and sound engines in some of Elektron’s mos…

Here we are…

Fors

I’m actually super excited about this. Being the mind behind the Digitone- super great sound engine. I’m starting to get to the point where I’m less about the Elektron workflow and just wish I could have the Digitone that’s just a monotimbral sound module.

There is a 70% chance that I’ll be pre-ordering whatever synth he’s fixing to make.

He’ll definitely be successful, he’s got an excellent reputation as far as quality and public relations

@Ryan

He’ll definitely be successful

@Ess definitely has a fanbase. I have not backed up that many Kickstarters, but I’d blindly be for any one of his

[acylus]

Honestly my wallet is prepared

[0mega]

Wow this thread was just supposed to be a joke. Who would have thought…

[Versipellis]

Jinxed it.

Elektronauts: “damn man why don’t you pump this shit up so it can fuck with my eardrums a little bit”
Ess: “aight, bet”

Good luck

Im quite sure next project will be a fm synth with sequencer, but without autosave or other esoteric saving philosophies.

Thanks Ess for nerd fm infotainment in that twitch show and cuckoo interview and the great dn.
I probably need one anyway, the package is just too perfect, just one thing on elektrons is below ideal for me…

From the Fors newsletter: ”Superberry - a deliciously digital piece of software. […] Our aim is to release Superberry by the end of this month.”

There’s also a (dead) link to a Youtube video… (now working!)

[garf]

link working now

[craig]

Here it is for those not signed up yet:

Superberry

[phelios]

Obviously something built around the Raspberry Pi! Smart move as the hardware is not very expensive and powerful. Looking forward!

[cold_fashioned]

Interesting. That’s not what I took from the message. I’m expecting a softsynth. I doubt there is a hardware synth on the way, but would welcome the surprise.
