Strawberry liquorice!
Adam im with you. Whichever version is a classic. This will never go out of date in my lifetime.
Could we have the yellow DT/DN screen on the new units?
Yea I like how the red buttons and new logo design really pay homage to the MK1. A worthy āAnniversary Editionā indeed.
But who will be the first to play live with all 3 different OTs? And which would you put in the middle? The Grey? The MK1? These are the real questions.
And once the black non-Anniversary is out, thatās 4 versionsā¦ what mad scientist will want to juggle so much time space continuum at once?
Getting closer to jumping the sharkā¦
At least itās nowhere near Teenage Engineeringās effort mind you.
Am i the only one swinging for this. Come on folks. Sell some gear and get on board!
I had a pair of red and black 7s. Loved them.
Octablack
I was tempted but no new features so may as well get the normal version. Other than the red buttons I donāt mind the grey. Plus itās cheaper.
Was expecting a mkiii tbh
it looks great no doubt!
I have an mk1 so no need to upgrade. Personally, If Iād need another OT I would still go for mk1, because second hand prices are total no brainer. It does everything the mk2ās do
Reckon Iāll start saving for a black mk2. Gives me a few months to decide if I need it and the DT.
Was hoping for a MKiii.
I can understand some disappointment not getting a MK3 but it is what it is. And i still use classic film cameras because the latest doesnt mean the best. I accept limitations. It makes me more creative. But dang it looks beautiful.
Congrats on 10 years! Hope the OT gets a true successor someday.
How much of a difference does the extra recording input headroom make, though, and the extra dedicated buttons? I do often lust after a Mk2, even though I love my Mk1. The outlay to switch has never seemed quite worth it, though.
Exactly. Planned/forced obsolescence is a mugs game, and so is always chasing the new shiny.
Iām glad that there still exists a modern powerful sampler without gaudy squishy pads and a big touch screen as the main selling point.
why? Elektron made the guts perfect the first time, and they know it. let them just lean into it.
Missed opportunityā¦
God yes. The less screen menu diving the better. The feel of glass perspex leaves me numb!
2021!
Gonna score a mint OTMKII grey edition from an all black gear OCDād gear head.
