IMO not feature complete until we have better timestretch algorithm. With one shots it sounds good though. Stretch and warp are only good for experimental sound design in my opinion. Whenever I drift more than 3 bpm from the original sample it sounds ass.

Were there somewhere āpromised featuresā list for DT2/DN2?
Are there any āpromised featuresā for TV?
Is there something like Elektron Roadmap where you can check what is now and what will be planned for next releases? Or it is rather all about believes of Elektron fans that for sure Elektron never forget about them?

The funny part is, this meme gets posted repeatedly, but always with different synths in different places, depending on what update just got released.
Kinda disproves the meme really.

Analog 4 found dead in a ditch.
I kid, but damn I was excited when I saw that there was a hardcore update dropped for the analog Rytm a year or so back. I thought the A4 was about to get a similar update!
Edit: Still a lovely machine, it doesnāt need anything more for me to love it, I just got hyped for nothing promised!

Personally I have some ideas about what DNII could have to greatly expand its possibilities, but those donāt look like a big seller on paper (e.g. a second filter identical [but without envelope] to the first to shape the sound characteristic (bright, fat, etc.) before using up the main Filter and its envelope would be the sh_t. Also it would greatly expand its possiblities for physical modeling, since then you can shape the input before it hits the comb or vice versa)
So I donāt really await an update since I donāt believe itāll be something that does something for me.
In its current state, I still canāt get enough of my DNII and use it every day

Getting ready to round robin device names!
Iām definitely in the āthis does what itās advertised to do and therefore doesnāt need anything else for me to enjoy itā mentality.
I wouldnāt complain if we got some updates and I donāt think thereās any harm in innocent speculation/ wish-listing for updates, though.
I do get annoyed a bit by the āElektron didnāt give me a free update fast enough so Iām never buying anything from them againā attitude (but I think thatās more common on Reddit and YouTube comments than here). I think some people forget that this isnāt a subscription service. Feature updates should be seen as a nice surprise, not something youāre entitled to.

For me, the Four is much more ādeservingā of an updatenoise the Digis. Itās still not got the QoL improvements the Rytm got. Elektron made some noise about the Analigs having a 10yr anniversery and then they went silent on anything Four related.
Iāll admit that I have a Four and no Digis, so Iām very biased.

not sure about dt2 but every time i turn on my dn2 iām struck by how finished and refined it feels.
sure iād be able to come up with a greedy wishlist but if the only thing we ever get are refinements & bugfixes im fine with that. awesome awesome fucking machine

Yeah the Elektron devs squeezed every bit of capability out of the OG DT for years and years.
I donāt think that idea and possibility of making machine better will ever stop, because creative people tend to get ideas while working with those tools, they always think how they can be better for their use cases, how to improve them and align with what they hear in their heads, and then translate this into engines, filters, ā¦
For me on the Digitakt 2, its more simple qol enhancements that can be found on the other machines.
- Layer Setup: You can assign one track to trigger other tracks in the voice allocation page (indicated by a āmouthā icon), allowing a single sequencer to control multiple synth voices simultaneously
- Global FX/Mix Menu
New machines would be cool, but just would be happy with just cleaning things up a bit to make things more uniform.
At the end of the day i aint stressed, Elektron has shown more times than not that they are full of surprises, and i bet we see more updates in the future.
Peeps were sounding off the alarms about the Syntakt, just a couple months back haha

This would be incredible.

Layers and choke groups would make sense for all machines !
Not sure if Global FX/Mix gonna happen on Digi2s because of Perform Kit. (I know it is different.)

Thereās no roadmap or anything official from Elektron. It leads to a lot of speculation and wishlist-ing here. But Elektron arenāt unique is this regard TBH

Yes! Just dip a toe into the DT2 feature request thread.
Putting aside the silly daydream requests (polyphony, synth engines etc)
There some recurring issues raised by many, many people:
- We still have clicks/pops when looping
- No zero crossing detection (see above)
- X-Fade looping
- Time stretching that is usable
- Zoom for sample editing
- Track layering (like on DN2)
Thatās purely off the top of my head

DTII and DNII did not came out complete at all!
When they get introduced they where missing important features that were present in the one boxes: overbridge, arp etc.
So we must ask for updates!

And I want to add my opinion too. Donāt buy the tonverk, donāt make their game.

Granted, Overbridge wasnāt there at launch but they communicated clearly it will come and delivered it fast. Had nothing to do with people asking for updates.
Donāt know what youāre talking about with the arp, DN II came with an arp like OG DN and DT II never received an arp in any update. Iād be curious what other things are behind your etc.
I agree that the Tv launch was a shocking mess for Elektron standards, but it is now a pretty impressive machine that can do so much and mostly runs great and is fun.

Sorry I got confused. It was chord mode for DN2.
For me it is like this. They launched and incomplete product. Fact.
They promised some new features explicitly or not and they delivering all new features to the tonverk. Fact.
I think they want me and you all to buy the tonverk.
