Efforts like this are crucial for a company like Elektron for a wide range of reasons:
- Bringing new functionality to segments of the existing user base, increasing their investment in it
- Expanding the Elektron universe, opening up new markets and thus expanding the community and customer base
R&D is also crucial, the products you use every day are the result of ”wasting resources” on 50 things that were wrong, a process without which none of these products would manifest. And without products, no company.
We want Elektron to do well right? Elektron doing well means spending a lot of resources on things that not all existing users need or love
I don’t give a toss about Octatrack, Rytm, what Tonverk appears to become, and I have no current use for the ipad app. But I wholeheartedly support these efforts, for Elektron as a company, and for my fellow users who (in great numbers) appear to want this
