Nice presentation Cenk
Elektron have produced a few really great instruments. I guess the Machinedrum, non-UW, is still the best instrument in my book, all things considered.
whoohoo! was waiting for this one gonna watch it right away ā¦ beloved SFX-6
oooh yea! get to watch this while i sip my morning coffee =)
excited!
@ Guga where are you located? I have an SFX-6 for sale.
That was cosy.
Also, now iām sad because i want to go home to my Elektronās
yay nice one Cenk
YEAH nice video CENKā¦ I just to watch itā¦ Iām happy that the company grow like that. I hope Elektron keep the good stuff with new hardware machine and implement improvement of the overs too. Thatās (at least for me) an essential trust i put in Elektron, i hope to not be disappointed as itās a huge invest i done in all of the machines for my Live Performance.
mmmā¦isnāt going to happen soon unfortunately but good to know though, thanks (germany)
great stuff!
Cenk, I really loved this video you made with Nick. Lovely tour of the companyās narrative and these brilliant instruments.
Iām interested in knowing why you think the Machinedrum, non-UW is the best instrument? Not judging just curious.
heh yeah. Selling my Sidstation and SFX-6 are two of the few pieces of gear I regret selling.

Just a highly personal opinion. I realise the word ābestā can mean anything.
I guess what Iām referring to is that the SPS-1 has one of the most intuitive interfaces of any instrument Iāve ever played - uncluttered, simple and straightforward. It might seem limited compared to Elektronās later instruments, and compared to much of the competition today. But it offers a wealth of creative potential within its deceptively simple interface, and therein lies its beauty.
All imho. Iām probably coloured by my own history with the MD though

That video reminds me of when I saw a picture of the prototype Sidstation in Future Music magazine! If I remember correctly it originally had a slightly curved face plate machined from aluminium.
Wow I never seen that one. I have the black Sid station know as the police edition. Iām so happy I never sold it. Itās been with me since 1999. Time flies! I loved see it get some love on the vid.
