dual CPU, as digitone, predictably, so it’s not an optimization, but just adding x2 CPU power to perform all this digital and analog stuff at the same time
this reduces the chance of RYTM massive update, I think
I really wish these photos were good enough to read all the little analog chips.
sorry if this was already posted, but these recordable modifiers and fx block muting/performing are really something special:
and new filter shapes! very exciting stuff

Thanks for posting this; I haven’t seen much on the modifiers. (I have strong opinions about which of these two is into quality bud.)

they really need to combine the 8 note polyphony of digitone midi tracks with the 8 midi track layout of the digitakt. i dont see why the syntakt couldnt do that, but that may be me getting greedy
although im not opposed to buying an elektron box purely for midi sequencing (as i did with the digitakt and my fourth digitone)

Maybe a Granular Synth but not DT sample playing/mangling!!! That would be cool… use the drive for samples for Granular Synth. Or Wavetable serum files? Oooooh! Getting myself all worked up over nothing. lol

any news on an mk2 version of this box?
Now I want links toread
Yes, it’ll come with a bigger screen but everything else the same
So live recording those modifiers become p-locked steps, then you can choose totally different parameters with the modifiers, jam/tweak a bit and live record these too as p-locked steps.
That is so awesome

It lacks multiple in/out, a crossfader, and pads, so I bet on “no”.

Unfortunately I can only give a boring evasive answer on this one, since we for several reasons don’t want to go in to details about the hardware in our boxes. The generic answer is that all devices have a +Drive big enough to hold all the data needed for the device. The reason it is mentioned for the Digitakt, is of course, that here the user can add large chunks of data (samples) to the +Drive.

Holy moly
I haven’t seen a board with so many IC’s since looking inside an Apple IIe.
Is that all for the analog stuff?
You’d love Syntakt PCB - #33 by vblr 
A lot of the components seems to be for analog stuff yeah, but obviously parts of it is for the digital stuff as well

I guess a lot of it is also just D/A and A/D converters
Somehow I thought they figured out how to do it at the transistor level, big custom integrated chips.
Just assuming here… don’t see how the digital stuff would need more than 3 or 4 chips
It was a joke
