I wonder if it would be feasible to make an OT “adapter” for OB. So it’d basically be an audio interface slapped on the back of the OT, interfacing with the midi ports as well. Really the question is whether the midi ports could be used to send enough meaningful data to an adapter (and thus OB) to be useful in a workflow.

I’d love to see something like a Model:cycles/Model:samples combined with a keyboard and the ability to sample directly in from a line in.
That or if Elektron made a portable box (field recorder) that you could sample into and then transfer those samples over usb to rytm i/ii,digitakt,m:s
Oh what I would do if I was developing music gear

Hi Elektron I would really like you to make a new Machinedrum - can you please do that? Very good, thank you very much!

Couldn’t They do something like a Digitone/model:cycles but in a Rytm box? Make it 12 voice without the choke groups but layed out exactly like the Rytm. That’ll effectively be the modern MD.

The AR is so big. I’d prefer something I can easily take with me like the present formfactor. Anyway I’m sure Elektron will make it great no matter what. I just hope we’ll see it. Model Cycles is too limited and doesn’t sound as good as the MD.
Model: MIDI Sequencer.
-
No samples, No synth engines, No audio inputs or outputs.
-
16 MIDI tracks. (8 would be enough for me)
-
Couple MIDI ports.
-
Build in battery and USB powered.
-
€250/300,-
It would be the centerpiece for all those small portable setups.
I would buy one in a heartbeat! Who wouldn’t?

add:
- general modern elektron sequencer stuff
- 3+ LFO per track
- a few pages of CC mappings
- options to save CC mappings as “kits” so you can easily load up settings for external gear
- scales
- easy chord generation

I’m not usually one to engage in conspiracies or other irresponsible rumormongering, but I have been thinking about something recently. Cenk’s recent Hor Berlin set had the Machinedrum back in the mix. There was all the OS updates last year and the mini-series sort of wrapping up the Analog devices (A4, AR). Barring the model:cycles, 2020 (for obvious reasons) was not a year for a major hardware release, which gave time to keep refining a potential new release. All that’s to say: I wonder if a new flagship box might be lurking around the corner? Not necessarily an MD mk3, but perhaps a fully featured digital or hybrid digital / analog drum synth might be what’s next.

It was a weird series to release (like an obituary/greatest hits release), as was the Cenk ESB TV Show thingy for Octatrack. For me, the black versions of the Analogs and the Octatrack are the definitive, final forms for each of those devices. How long it takes for them to be discontinued is anyone’s guess, but they won’t be around forever. I give each of them maybe a maximum of two more years as the true flagship devices. And then (or even before then), there will be different flagships (for drums, synths, and possibly sampler/mixer too). And each of these will eventually be more deeply integrated with (but not reliant upon) an Elektron DAW-type program.

Who would Elektron collab with?

Gosh, a collab?
OTO Machine collab with their analog-centric FX on the next octatrack/monomachine replacement
or OTO Machine FX + Elektron sequencer for a rhythmic filterbank, playable like a synth voice

imagine if they collaborated with Akai… that would be very interesting
