It’s something i looked for in all other devices, but couldn’t get close to how effective it is. Also on its own it would not maybe be that awesome, but packed into a device like OT with all other capabilities and that sequencer its still best thing out there.
What i find interesting is that, not bashing Elektron here, but it is a rare sight to see that company has such a strong impulse/feedback from the community in terms of what they want to see next, but for years Elektron is not “willing” to give it.
I think just straight beefed up OT3 - pretty much the same thing but with 16 tracks, 16 buffers, more RAM, and with updated effects & timestretch would sell like a water at a chili eating contest. I have hard time understanding why its not here.
I do wonder, if there were a modern OT with parameters higher than 128-step resolution, would it be too much compute for a crossfader with scenes? Is this what’s potentially holding Elektron back? If not, then what?
I’m thinking the ‘verk’ platform is going to be an integrated system (rather than discrete devices in the same form factor) that’ll end up offering more than the OT.
It’s the Bluetooth/wifi enabling and the 6x outputs that makes me think this.
I dont expect it would be exactly the same. What would be the point.
I’m suggesting the next unit might be something akin to an expander.
I sort of think whatever it is it’ll be ahead of the curve of the user base imagination. Y’know… we bark requests for an OT2 (myself included) and they give us a whole new sampling platform.
Perhaps, but I can’t see that working out commercially tbh. Seems like a terrible idea vs just making a proper box with UI elements dedicated to Dynamic Performance Sampler tasks.
Not actually saying I hear stepped values and frankly forget if I’ve ever inspected if and how well it interpolates things like pitch or filter cutoff… Nor am I a developer so don’t know what processing implications a morphing crossfader poses. Just random pontificating over here!
I guess I just wonder why we are still left without a modern OT. Or why the concept of morphing or scenes haven’t been introduced on other devices. It would be killer on the DNII and TV.
On any gear !
There is the Intelligel Multigrain (Eurorack).
Concerning interpolation, once I used 32 values instead of 128 to morph scenes, OT interpolated really well (8 scenes assigned to crossfader with midi processing)
