Already mentioned :wink: For me obviously an Analog Keys MKII (and why not with 8 tracks, ideally with sysex compatibility with the A4 for the first 4 tracks). I own and simultaneously use both the AK and the A4 mkII (which replaced an A4 mkI) and to be frank it would be coherent to have the AK eventually brought to the mkII standard.

OK, let’s suppose that Elektron release an 8-voice AK MK2. How much would you expect it to cost? I think it would be in the €2.000-2.500 range.

I think they’d have trouble selling substantial numbers at more than 2k€ unless it brings more to the table than just another 4 voices and overall I think the market potential for a lower cost (talking DT ball park) digital poly is a lot better than for an analog behemoth.

I get the feeling it’ll be more small analog devices that can be controlled via Overbridge. They’ve spent a lot of time and effort developing the technology behind it so I expect to see more.

I’d like to see a successor to the Monomachine; a very modern and versatile synth with an Elektron sequencer and CV ins. Not holding my breath though.

Forgot to mention currency, I was talking about Euros :slight_smile:

We are pretty close, $1.850 would be like €2.000-2.100 with VAT.

Also, the AK may cost $1.400 now but wasn’t it like $1.600 when it was first released?
