Wonder if Yamaha is taking notice. Korg, PreenFM, and now Elektron are stealing the sub-$1000 FM market from under their feet.
Yamaha could release a sub-$1000 Dixietage 8-op FM synth to destroy the competition if they wanted to. By the time they get around to it, might be too late.

I would also like to voice my concern. whoever is making the decisions regarding direction and product release seems to be lacking integrity. there are other products, esp DT1, that should have taken priority of this. Iām sure thereās a watertight CEO reason why this had to be done but it smells a bit. chivalry has a good place in modern society and the brave decision to put this on hold while DT1 is sorted would have been the honourable thing to do. thus showing current Elektron owners that we are not just a sideline to an ever increasing but immobile financial statement.
conflicting priorities I know but what would be the right choice hmm?

To say I am obsessed with FM synthesis may be an understatement.
I will reserve judgement till I can see the full specs on this thing.
At first glance looks very similar in specs to the Yamaha DX, but with a much better interface and sequencer
As much as I love FM, would have been great to see more digital synthesis e.g. wavetable, physical modelling etc. included.
This would have obviously made it more expensive, but I for one would be willing to pay more for a more diverse box.
Itās a definite step in the right direction for Elektron at least.
The digital revival has started.

Yamaha has different customers
Form factorās really nice and it obviously fills a niche in their product line, but the sound examples are doing nothing for me.
Can see why people might go for this if they want a way into Elektron sequencing and already have a good sampler / drum machine, but as an existing Digitakt owner Iām not sure why Iād go for this over something like a Blofeld.
Also, Iām going to reserve judgment on this until February, but if Overbridge gets delayed again after yet another new box has come out, I think people will be more than justified in getting pissed off.

if it had a flexible audio architecture/routing (stored at the project level) this would be much more interesting from a sound design perspective. lacks the kind of modularity that makes machinedrum/monomachine/octatrack so powerful and deep.
sounds really good, might be worth getting one after a year or two when the OS is demonstrated to be stable and relatively feature-complete by end-users
still waiting for monomachine mk3 though

Just wanna say having owned a reface dx a blofeld and the Roland d05 boutique synth, they were all a pain in the ass to program and left me to use presets which is why I sold all of em.
Thinking the digitone is gonna be very user friendly and be pretty easy to program.
Given that this is almost 800 itāll be a while before I get one. Gotta feeling these are gonna pop up on the used market soon after release because of people not liking FM synthesis and potential bugs or whatever
But Iām excited to own one/ā¦
One day
