Will there be an update for the Digitakt MKI?

And as far as I can understand, the DT2 is built on a completely new platform, probably with a new SDK, even programming language maybe (rust)? It would explain the insane amount of features introduced with the DT2: A much more streamlined and modern development environment.

And if this is the case it would take an inmense effort to backport new functionality to the DTOG (Basically a rewrite for any feature).

That was the kind of thing I was trying to express, yes. OTOH, firmware 1.50 for DT1 was a radical introduction of new features, so it’s not like that firmware is legacy code that can’t be touched … but all the same, we don’t know how much effort it took … that effort may well have been immense.

I don’t really expect anything. :slight_smile: I have DT for maybe 4 years, so I was pleasantly suprised by all those updates on the way. I like it as is, though there is still a little hope for the mentioned filter keytracking and sample looping…
Maybe I put it too complicated for the first time. This is highly speculative thread - my previous post was meant with big “IF”. I understand the new machine works with different guts and probably coded in different way. I was trying to say that those sound processing upgrades (more filters, more LFOs, more tracks, more effects…) are surely reserved for DT2 while the sequencing tools could be possible.

I still hope for these two things:

That’s all.

Nobody said there wasn’t going to be more updates, though.

A post was split to a new topic: English is the language used on Elektronauts

My guess is in the process of development for the DT2, they probably found ways to implement certain features they’d planned for the new device onto the DTOG, and that was the update we saw a little while ago. I’d bet they’re trying to work on some more, but there is a finite amount of updating they can do.

I would say maybe some quality of life type stuff and probably nothing fundamentally different, but I’ve also said that before (see the massive OT updates, RYTM updates, DT updates, song mode on the Digi, etc.)

I think there’s a difference. I think (correct me if I’m wrong) all those updates were applicable to something still being manufactured by Elektron and would result in increased revenue.

All I want is Euclidean sequencer on my DT1, hoping that’ll come and I’ll be made up!
