I don’t know what is next for Elektron, but I know what I’d be interested in buying from them: a digital beast that reimagines all the best parts of the MDUW/MNM/OT, with Overbridge (and analog filters if I’m dreaming), and some really next gen sequencing options. For the most part I’m still an Elektron fanboy, but I feel they’ve been turning into a different kind of company since somewhere into the development of the OT, and the Elektron that made me a fan was oriented in more of an “everything and the kitchen sink” approach to really versatile instruments; their M.O. has changed in the last 4-6 years or so towards more specialized products, and as good as they are I find their recent approach less inspiring than their previous aesthetics.
Elektron shines best when they are an alternative or expansion to computer based composition. Overbridge is a good step and I’d like to see it become solid enough to be an industry norm, but I would be unapologetically fiscally irresponsible if they put out a totally digital machine that was really designed to “do it all” with Overbridge.
