I think this OT owner has special elektron electrical infrastructure to power machines from cable integrated into wall

This pictures looks so crappy, but give some idea of ​​how the devices look not on semi-rendered promotion photo. Why elektron did not provide normal photos in real environment?

I am surprised, that there is still no black skin cover for the MK II. I was looking for one ever since DN and DT release. I’ll be happy to pay for one.

Nice! Every time I see Octatrack AE, tho, my brain thinks Autechre version! Must have! :joy:

The first picture looks like the grey one.

I still prefer the round buttons but jet black is tasty.

AE looks significantly more like a prop from a sci-fi film. Like a panel in a spacecraft. Which makes it better, obviously.

I like how the two next to each other shows off how sleek the new one is, while the OG OT looks like an industrial tool. Highlights how mk 1 is a tried and true workhorse

For any Swedish elektronauts still looking to pick one up, Deluxe Music lists it as being in stock in their Stockholm store.

Seeing them side by side reminds me of something that I always noticed when I had my MK2… the step buttons appear to be so cramped together.
Of course in use this is not some inhibiting detail. The distance between the center points from one step button to the next is the same on the MK1 as the MK2. It’s just that the square buttons require so much more space. To have made them smaller would not have been a solution.
Form follows function.

And we can complain about how the arrow buttons don’t line up on the MK2, but it’s easy to ignore how the transport on the MK1 doesn’t line up with the page buttons.
In both cases these are just unfortunate results of deciding to keep the transport buttons isolated and less likely to be mistakenly pushed. Again, form follows function, yadda yadda…
