Would be hilarious if Elektron is teasing the debut of their first animated short film ‘Meet the Machines’

Maybe it’s an iphone app-machine for making stop-motion animations!

Ah yes ultimate in phat technologu
My dream : a box with 6-8 voices, 4 of them inspired by MnM/MD, 2 poly Digitone and 2 of them inspired by OT and DT. Latest sequencer, every parameter p-lockable, possibility to resample, with cross-fader control. 2 stereo ins, 4-6 outs. 8 MIDI 2.0 tracks to be ready for the future. USB 3 compatibility. A larger screen. And a new piece of software, machineTracker, that displays the content of the voices in a tracker fashion a la renoise/sunvox in sync with on-board memory. Song mode, bi-directional. In box and keys version.
That is probably not what we will get on wednesday, but hell that would be a cool machine!

Champagne, a few toasts, and possibly a nice house near the sea. Do they do this too?

Im thinking about the future…maybe some kind of animal that emits squeeky noises at truly unpredictable intervals…like it could take a 1000 years, or once before it turns into radiation…plus a usb mic and a software freeze delay?
Imagine their own take on a modular or Moog Grandmother. 8 ins on the left for live user waves/sampling, 8 outs on the right, then maybe up to four interchangeable machines (physical mini boxes) that can be slotted in to each give you 2 voices of your choice from MD/MnM/AR/A4/DT/DN, with one master sequencer along the bottom to rule them all

Their office is on the top floor of the building. So you’re not wrong, man.

It’s clearly an FX machines box.

- embed your nuts in hard caramelised salted sugar: give them bite
- smash up the nut brittle: make it break

The closer I get to the bottom of everything, the further away from Elektron I get…

Not on my shift. I got your back. Anyone who’s got a Minter llama as an avatar, I got his back.

I’m just here for the mystery. Let’s set up a paypal and get a PI involved.

There’s already been so much misinformation pumped into the data, that a PI wouldn’t be able to discern what’s truth.
“It looks like Cenk was a model for a brand called…Pantles? It also appears that he’s optimus prime…”
“As far as the new Elektron product is concerned, things are pretty locked up tight but I have it on good authority that ‘Octatrack users will be very happy’…”
