Black is the new, er black. Or something.
Thankfully no iMac translucent candy coloured tat like its the late 90’s all over again, but then again who’d pull such a tacky move?

Identical from what I can tell
Nope, just aesthetics, because why not - they look great !

I think that was in the first production run. Problems seem to have subsided.
Very sleek.

changing color = a chance for youtubers (loopop, bobeat, cuckoo?) to bring us a review with the later firmwares and why all 3 years back reviews were wrong = a chance to get new customers with some buzz 
I guess many people asked for a black version, I know, I am one of them haha.

I’ll have all the grey boxes and I like them, they stand out from the black crowd of synths.

Not that I am aware of but I meant compared to the old reviews. They did update quite a lot the ARmk2 especially so all the reviews are kinda wrong nowadays

I’m thinking the “factory content” (i.e. what is pre-installed) would be part of an OS update? Not sure. At any rate, the current firmware OS on the Mk1/MkII support page is still 1.40A from Nov 2019. Also not seeing any new ‘Free’ soundpacks for MkI/MkII… but probably need to give it a few days.

I wish a new Digi family member, something like the Digitone but 6 analog voices (or at least analog modeling).
I mean while its cool its not that big of a deal. Im a nay sayer though. lol
Could owners of the previous versions also get access to the new presets and patterns, like when the digitone keys came out?
I like the black look. Though it seems very sus not to update OT. And weird to only update the colour. Is this a BLM thing?

Ahhh understood
You mean an Anatone and a Anatrack? that would be lovely. Especially if the Anatone could be polychained to the A4 to get 8 voice polyphony!
