I can imagine any updates that have been in the pipeline will be released to increase the perceived value of the boxes, in line with recent price increases. Maybe the opposite though, and they just start cranking out devices on the new platform regularly. Anything can happen :point_up:. Digitakt is a major seller apparently so maybe that one, or maybe the opposite

I disagree here.
With it’s capability to have multiple audio devices (windows struggling with that) it adds a lot of value if this works reliably. You can have your boxes, something like an aira compact, 1 or 2 mono synth s through the ins, and have the iPad be a mixer, midi router and multi FX box.

It’s far from the complexity of a daw… But reduced the footprint of the utilities for a multi device setup (mixer), and with over bridge it circumvents the problem of no individual outs. In regards to no battery…true ( I think the boxes should at least have a native option for usb c PD) but there are workarounds.

And a iPad that’s not new can be found for 200€, cheaper than a mixer and multi effects unit and midi router. Add to that a copy of loops pro (35€) and you have a really capable setup with a looot less cables than all hardware, but the performance/playing part still mostly happens on the hardware.

(And no, not a fanboy, iPads the only apple product I have, but for music it just works better than android, after trying for a while… As a Generale use device I would never move over to iOS, but after struggling with just connecting audio hardware to my pixel phone for to long I gave up on android and audio)

Big Syntakt update with a bunch of new digital machines is next (hopefully)

Would certainly be nice! :grin:

When does Elektron normally “break for summer”?

Probably mid July–mid August, seeing as they are based in Sweden.

I don’t know what’s next for Elektron, but it’s time for a part 2 for this thread

Oh good, then there’s still time for a couple of updates :grin:
I feel like expecting a Syntakt update is too hopeful for me, so I’m going to guess a DT2/DN2 update is coming next.
