Hmm I agree it seems likely that something sampler ish will show up.
I still need that digi sized performance mixer though.
How about we make this a fun prediction game?!
- Everyone lists as many things as they want (functionality / look and feel, colours, letters in name…)
- These can’t be existing features or obvious all devices already have them ones
- You get a point for every feature you guess correctly
- You lose a point for every feature you guess incorrectly
- Your latest prediction post will be counted so feel free to steal others’ ideas
- If no new device is announced we mostly all lose unless you guess nothing will happen

yes, but nobody got one by today, at least no one who’s using this forum or any other like modwiggler etc etc
the question is….is it installed right away or is it a spare part in a lil zipper or combined with the tape…I would love to see someone unboxing that button.

Yes, Occam’s razor suggests that. I didn’t know about it (the gray golden ticket) either, although I had read about the anniversary s25 editions on amazonas.de and bonedo.de I got informed (about the golden ticket) here in the forum implicitly when talking about other stuff.
If in UK we could make a proper bet.
No reason Elektron couldn’t go to an Akai product model like MPCs with same OS in different hardware forms with different physical features and price points.
Imagine an affordable mid-tier box (between models and digis) with 8 tracks of mixed sampling and digital synthesis machines, then a more expensive box (more like flagship) with 16 tracks, more physical controls, individual outs or even further (and pricier) with an analog fx section.

To be fair, every elektron instrument does real time audio processing. A filter is a real time audio processor of the internal audio sources. Doesn’t necessarily mean it will process external audio.
But either way I am excite

You sure that your technical probably correct approach and understanding of the phrase is really what they (could have) meant?
From my POV that would be such a broad definition of the phrase that it would become rather useless at least impractical.
Anyway, unless the great chess game surprises us with sudden chain reactions of events that turn up the heat too much or the power grid down, we will know with superbooth

Elektrons booth space looks pretty big compared to yamahas, maybe they will be showcasing their own plate reverb or quantum computer (finally)

Whatever they come out with probably will have some audio ins for some kind processing anyway, so it’s a bit moot. And “real time audio processing” does seem like pretty standard language for a job listing working on devices/software such as these, low or zero latency for all DSP will be a requirement.
Fwiw elektron were recruiting a rust engineer to work on the new platform back in 2021.
If the forthcoming device is part of the next generation, makes me wonder whether a new polysynth will follow shortly to replace the digitone.

Hmm, I hope it will be more like a Digitakt max, that does everything sampling and will retire the Octatrack
That makes more sense to me
And I guess people will be able to load different machines on the new model, that they have to pay for. But those will be effects and sample based stuff
Then there will be a digi synth coming next with the same concept. Where you can buy and add fm, wavetable machines, effects a.s.o
Then they will release a mixer
And then they might also start another, more affordable introduction line that can compete with the cheaper synth toys around

Just to be clear, if there’s a DT MkII (I believe this will be the case) than there will be a DN MkII.

Would make sense to have a quick follow-up as folks will withhold purchasing the digitone in anticipation.

ah, ok. I thought you meant the digitakt will include a digitone
