depends on what you do with it. its kind of like to concept of “what is noise”?
An instrument, in its most simple definition, is an item that makes music.

Not joking. I’d like to see something new from Elektron, not a rehash of old designs. It’s not impossible that they come up with something new, though I admit you have a point - it’s not very likely.

I didn´t read all 1599 posts, but has this been spotted yet? It has claps, cymbals and bass. Obviously a Machinedrum / Monomachine hybrid.
