Will there be a MK III? >Feature Requests<

[AdamJay]

As for what I’d want, probably first of all, Overbridge compatibility, but I guess that’d be a given if a Mk3 were to exist.

Maybe A4 style sound locks? I

If the Mk3 could only have one new feature, A4 style patch organization (and thus a sound pool with sound locks) is the one feature I want.
Having to copy and paste things around to load a single patch to a single track feels beyond archaic.

[pselodux]

I have to say though, I appreciate that the current method stops me from being lazy with sound design when composing new patterns!

more advanced FM

[OSCar]

12 track sequencer internal + 12 track midi sequencer
True idependent LFO’s for the midi tracks
Implementation of the the same sequencer as in the OT with true independent pattern length and time signature / clock division per track
Note retrig per track with clock divisor for ratcheting styled effects
MIDI harmonize
MIDI delay
The ability to have reverse, ping pong, bidirectional and random play modes per track
Probability retrig of neighbour tracks
Higher polyphony count
Able to use both poly and mono mode as needed
Vocoder with formant sampler
Sample import for a granular playback engine
Include a selection of MD based drum modelling kits
Formant Filter
Comb Filter
Octarack Fx style implementation per track
SD sample card slot for storage
4 Op TX816 styled FM engine
More advanced and custom wave table synthesis engine.

Would pretty much be it for me.

Analog filters. $$$$

If they implement this - It will be my next purchase ! ( + Microtiming )

[TS_2501]

since i have the a4, there a few things that i’d like to see on the mnm III as well:

1. select the number of voices you want instead of jumping right into full poly.
2. effect send for each track (cho, del, rev)
3. microtiming.
4. overbridge.
5. vector synthesis (maybe pop in a joystick)
6. a bread and butter rompler kind of thing.
7. female voice in the vo-6 engine.
8. better vo-6 engine.

… that’s pretty much it. mnm.

analog this, analog that. keep the mnm blatantly digital. cover all bases.

I agree.
plus, an MnM and an A4 plumbed into each others inputs is soooooo poweful and weird and imaginative.
Get both!

I’d like to understand. What’s the advantage of digital filters for you ?

[jikksfrikks]

i wish they’d make the song mode a real time pattern recorder.

go into song mode… play patterns in jam session format and it’s all recorded… edit as needed… multitrack to computer.

that’s something that should be worked out for the whole line of elektrons really…

That is a fucking cracking idea !!

digital filters don’t sound different to you?

[AdamJay]

I’d like to see more modulation options.
MM is effectively a modular with regards to signal flow. Complete the puzzle with modulation sources and destinations. Make it more of a true modular.
Allow the sum of track one’s DDRW waves to modulate the compressor on track 4’s bass line… Frequency dividers… All that.

Ofcoarse , i just wondered what you like about the digital filters. - are they colder ? Or maybe there is another reason for you ?. What Adam Jay mentioned is actually very interesting - get both - and maybe run 1 tru another sometimes. I only know the Mm from internet - never had the chance to test it myself - and I’m pretty impressed with what I heard until now. So maybe my request is rather stupid as it would maybe change the overall - caracter of the machine ?
Im actually thinking of buying one but I would like to test it myself and because I don’t find the occasion any info is welcome and much appriciated… So i’d like to now where the difference is for you. why you like it that way;
The only really important change I’d like to see is micro-timing.
I can understand with you guys opinions - this is to keep all machines apart - specialized in what they’re good at instead of putting more and more different caracters in 1 instrument.

you know the tempest has that?
play list
not fully developed or that well implemented of course

I might be weird but I love MM’s filters. It might be my favorite aspect of the machine.
No they aren’t analog and they don’t try to be. They’re like ice picks with serated sides. They cut and leave big marks, in a very distinct way.
Using them both is not like using a band pass, either. It’s better, different, weird, exciting.
When I listen to my favorite MM recordings, they each contain heavy extreme filter use.

Fortunately, MM has 6 assignable outs and an extra set of main outs via the headphone jack. A MAM Warp-9 or Waldorf 2 Pole are great affordable solutions if you intend to smear the sci-fi around to a different dimension. Or, maybe just grab a DSI Evolver for that hybrid sound.

You talk so well of this, mate.

Thanx for explaining

This, pretty much. I’ve yet to use an analog filter with my MnM (I could probably chuck it through my Microbrute if I wanted), but really I kinda just love the digital filter as-is. It’s weird and ridiculous and never reacts in a way I expect (yet—I’ve only had it for a few months!) but it’s always interesting.

[AdamJay]

Right! Never once I have felt like “if only the MM’s filters were more ________”

[pselodux]

ooh, I thought of another one. Note retrigs for all machines, not just BBOX. And the ability to set the retrig to trigger LFO/envelopes. I guess it could be done with the ARP but there’s not a lot of control that way.
