What if all it is is a vocoder?
Nicely done
so maybe Syntakt means - arrangement of patterns into coherent songs???

AI-driven, that maybe ⌠would be the next step

Like almost everyone here Iâm really hoping for a MD in the digi form factor. After that Elektron can go crazy and build as many touch screens, subscription based plugins and duo-lingo fart vocoders as they want (if that is indeed what people are fearing after the internal shake ups), but please just give us a drum synth first.

Analog heat.
The question is, will it sound good?

And of course, will it blend?

Octatrack owners will be happy!
SCNR.
We´ll see. Superbooze or not. Usually December they announced machines. Didn´t they?
Again ? MD/AR/M:C⌠not even counting the synths tthat are pretty good at it (Digitone, Analog4âŚ)
Meanwhile, the LXR-02 has an extensive midi CC list of its parameters⌠I could probably put the Digitakt midi CC capability to good use here while weâre all waiting for this ânu-machinedrumâ.

Well the Machinedrum is long out of production and out of date. Thatâs a bit like saying Moog should stop making synths because you can still buy a Voyager on eBay.
AR doesnât have half the synthesis capability of a Machinedrum, and the M:C only does FM. It also doesnât have Overbridge or a lot of the other bells and whistles of the bigger boxes.
There really wouldnât be any more overlap than with any of their other devices, and itâs obvious that people in the market really want one.

Someone wrote about âsyncâ and i think thats a good speculation route. Syntakt sounds to me like⌠a multitrack mixer but somehow really built specifically towards Elektron devices.
Some sort of device that âbridgesâ all the other Elektron boxes or âsyncsâ them somehow⌠might bring more people into the Elektron ecosystem. Thatâs my best guess

But (I think) almost all the Elektron products are some kind of drum machine/synth, I feel a huge overlap in their portfolio and a lack of pure melodic synths, currently just the A4 and the Digitone are proper melodic synths, and can make drums at the same time, so, another drum machine? I say neh.

Fair enough, though if all those synths are drum machines then all of the drum machines are synths
That said Iâd also be thrilled to have another proper synth from Elektron. Weâll see!

8 stereo channel, dedicated outs and ins for all channels âperformance mixerâ with the Elektron sequencer, scenes, a cross fader and two FX slots for each channel that are plockackble. Oh and OB support so you can use is as a 8in interface. Oh and a robust midi side so you can use the sequencer to sequence the external gear you have running into it.

Honestly a mixer with some effects, midi capabilities, overbridge, and audio over USB would be a dream come true for me. Thats basically what I am patiently waiting on from Elektron

Seems bonkers that no one has made a midi controller / audio mixer. It just seems so logical to sequence and eq/mix/effect the incoming signal from the same box.

ahemâŚnot fully correct. It does FM, but also Wavetable synthesis, as Ess revealed in one or another thread.
