What's next for Elektron?

Also noticed that there was a quiet update to Digitone on October 6th (ver. 1.40C)

Not sure if that is reflective of new hardware components in actual production or signifying some change to the OS that is a prerequisite for future updates. Speculate away I guess.

bring on the mk2’s

This could be for the new white OLED screen in the Anniversary edition. But it could also secretly be a “foundational” update for an upcoming firmware. On the other hand I’m a pesimist, so it’s most likely nothing special.

I think there would have been an update for Digitakt as well with the same note if that were the case.

I think it’s Digitone’s turn to get something akin to machines. DT already got it recently.

I continue to be worried watching them rehash’s these products. AHFX, kind of a rehash. Syntakt, kind of a rehash. These are and the cables aren’t giving me faith :confused:

An update to the digitone would be awesome. I really want a new Big Machine

New Digitone machines incoming!? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I think due to the global semiconductor shortage I think it’s really good for them, for us, and for the planet, to get as much as possible out of existing machines. I think the new digi box architecture makes that much easier than the Analogs, so hopefully we will see lots of cool updates for years to come still.

As far as I know you’ve never had to patch up to a version to apply a further patch though so I don’t see how the architecture would need a pre-patch

New verification support mid assembly, quality control type thing… but 100% speculation

New t-shirt to go with the machines. I knew they were up to something!

Different strokes, different folks. Don’t have one but the ctrl+all feature looked a bit wonky on the Syntakt so I skipped it

My bet is on a flagship take on the Syntakt concept, with close-enough recreations of machines of the famous duo.

After that they’ll do another round of palette swaps on the lineup and then they’ll switch over to plugins and more subscriptions.

Love it :slight_smile: in actuality it’s possibly the most useful of all the digis

I feel the same. Went back and watched some Cenk demos and decided to lean in. A real joy to use them in that way :slight_smile:

I think that is a strong bet. @Roger does your flagship syntakt have a 4 track sampler in there too though?
