seriously first the underlines and now the black doesnt match the digitakt digitone perfectly, and now there is a chance the lights are not as bright as on the digitakt/tone (although i think i noticed the lights softer on the 120a update)ā¦ i dont have OCD I just have a strong aversion for designers twiddling things that dont need touching , ill have mine in a week i shall update you on my mental health when it arrives.
looking forward to see / read another opinion/proof. I really donāt get it as well. The designers should stick to their colour palettes / design.
Iāve got my A4 MK2 black and I have to admit itās a beauty but I donāt have my previous MK1 or Digitone so I canāt compare
Who said the black doesnāt match DT/DN? The lights were dimmed from the grey versions (a very good thing imo). But the black paint is exactly the same afaik.

Hmm, itās pretty vague, almost like the poster couldnāt tell. Maybe itās a case of one being more used than the other so slightly lighter 
yeah agreed its vague ā¦ plus the light/angle and stuff to consider. fingers crossed

Both units are brand new, I have sensitive eyes. The only way to truly tell is natural sunlight because my room is dim but Iām too lazy for that.
The ARMKII, at the very least and more confidently, has a smoother surface than the Digitakt, just like the grey version. The smoother surface regardless of color matching likely affects the way light bounces off the surface introducing the subtle difference I speak of.

Thanks for clarifying! Still, Iām so anal that it looks like I wonāt be able to return to Digis ever again after my new AR arrives. If I ever want an Elektron synth itās going to have to be A4 
i probably would get it if it has some new features
Look at how sexy it is!

The Digiās are much easier and immediate to program than the Analog series
Oh I know. Had both of them. Was half joking about not being able to use two Elektrons that have slightly different shades of black
They are exactly the same to program, just more features on the analogs and have kitsā¦

It is not the feature, it is the layout, I found them quicker less menu driven.

The Rytm is nearly identical to the digitakt but has an extra page for the analog synth.
And the A4 is nearly identical to the digitone but has extra pages for envelope and arpā¦
So pretty much the same workflow just extra features and dedicated buttonsā¦
The digi are no more direct than the analog to useā¦
if anything the analog are more direct to use with extra buttons
