Ok, Iām done with this thread now. Itās become a place to moan I guess. How long should they have kept sourcing that original display (that was difficult to read at certain angles) to have kept you happy? 1 more yearā¦ 2 more years??
I couldnāt quite put my finger on it, but yes
I think the point is that they shouldnāt have sourced it in the first place. They didnāt know two years ago that that was a crap display? They needed to release it first and let their customers do the QA for them to figure that out? Thatās basically the problem with the Elektron of today IMO. 10 years ago they released products that were tested & done from a hardware perspective, fixed things that needed fixing, and updated software on a regular basis. Now they release unfinished products, expect customers to live with flaws, and pay for fixes in Mk II III IV etc. Ridiculous.
Wow, hardware updates seem to come faster than virtual instrument updates now-a-days!
Looks pretty good and I have not bought a heat yet (MK1 dark trinity owner) so this may be my first MKII !
prints dropping them #facts
You are correctā¦this is worthy of celebration and i will inevitability, angrily, buy oneā¦ha
Wow!! This is awesome!! Now Iām going to have to sell my AH MK1 for half the price I got it for just so I can buy the MK2!!
People will always have positive and negative opinions on new products. I thought 2 years is short product cycle and it seemed the new mkii products were to go alongside the heat and digitakt and now it seems a new digitakt is highly possible after 2 years if following this structure. I feel itās too short and others feel different. Thatās fine with me and Iām not trying change anyoneās mind. Itās good to have different viewpoints.
I am surprised how annoyed people get when someone points out something they donāt like. The internet has become very sensitive. Speak up and moan if you want, shout how amazing it is if you want. Iāll enjoy reading either side
GS mkII is here ^^
Letās blame it on the OB
for when digitakt MK2 ?
This is the correct answer. Now they all have the same nice display, better buttons and encoders.
All the neg comments are kinda running together in my head, ending up with the contradictory-seeming āthis is just a cosmetic upgrade that has no reason to exist, and also it makes my Heat mk1 completely obsoleteā
Hahaā¦
Man i sound insane!..over(bridge)reactive mad rantā¦number 3041ā¦
Actually, Iām happy with my brand new mint condition bugless MK1s. You guys can keep your MK2s, thanks.
I like my coffee (and my synths) black. Like my men.
Iāve had my AH for less than a year and I donāt care that the MKII unit is out. Nothing has happened to my now āoldā oneā¦ still functions the same and still sounds just as amazing. My warranty hasnāt disappeared and itās still a fully supported device. Every single thing is just as it was yesterday.
Had they added a bunch of new features, yeah, OK, Iād be a little a little annoyed, but if those features meant enough to me Iād sell mine and get the new one. Thatās just how these things work. Improvements are made and products move on. This MKII is just minor (IMO) tweaks to align with the other units and was bound to happen.
You want something that doesnāt become āobsoleteā so quickly, buy a guitar, piano or a flute. Donāt get anything with a microprocessor or USB port.
I feel your pain Adamā¦
At least AH mkII proves that not all Swedes are on vacation this summer
