What's up with Elektron?

I assumed that was the korg wavestate. He said “TBA around NAMM” so it’s already public:

Seems to me Elektron have too many current products as it is. OB has been worrisome (not to me, but I see a lot of disgruntled posts). I have had a side hustle building custom bass cabs where the head person just wanted to add too many new things when we still had to support/repair older models that should’ve been discontinued. They have a great lineup of amazing products that folks are still finding out about. Don’t need something shiny every 6 months to get my attention :slight_smile:

Ive owned only 3 Elektron boxes and the OT is the only one I still have. After all these years there’s still nothing quite like it. I started with a DT. Awesome, but the OT is so much more to me. Had an A4mk2, which was amazing, but it just wasn’t fun for me like the OT is and my eurorack kinda took its place. While I’d love an evolution of the OT, I have no complaints with the one I have

What’s funny or shocking about gig bags?

No, this is a joke:

A teacher says to her class one day, “Whoever answers my next question, can go home.” A boy throws his bag out the window.

The teacher asks, “Who just threw that?”

The boy says, “Me! I’m going home now.”

Can it fit 2 MKI’s and a digi ?

I don’t know off the top of my head but the interior dimensions of the bag, and exterior dimensions of the gear you mentioned is all published at Elektron.se so you’re just a few clicks and a calculator away from finding out.

It’s a shame the pockets on the front can’t fit Digi-size gear as well (or I’m assuming they cant?), as otherwise that would mean I could pack up my DN Keys, DT and AH in one bag, which would be sweet

Small company, maybe the website person is on holiday.

I wish I was on holiday.

Maybe not with elektrons website person though, it might be weird.

Also, I am guessing they are working on software updates at the moment which will drop at Musikmesse.

Yeah the next time I hear some industry insider say “this is a really deep machine, you can get some really complex sounds on it” … I need to turn off youtube, get up from the couch and just go make music on what I already have :):thinking:

…gosh, we all love misty mysty speculations, don’t we…

…and what the heck is musikmesse…?

A music industry trade show in Frankfurt/Germany that used to be relevant.

… thanx for letting me know… :wink:

Getting rid of the consumerist dopamine shot is hard, right?* but I think it’s nice to see a company that doesn’t try to make their clients spend all their time and energy in an infinite number of teases and announcements.

(*no provocation here, I can say that to myself too. :slight_smile: )

Next OT with advanced granular and wavetable synthesis options + audio-over-usb would be nice.
Elektron, stop foolin around! Make the move bc if you won’t others will!

Didn’t Jeremy Blake ( red means recording) tweet about a new elektron box they were showing behind closed doors at NAMM.

Saying verbatim “Monomachine lovers will be very happy, or they won’t. I don’t know people”
