MPCakt, with a crossfader on the left side of the pads, chop shop and FX suite on steroids, and a performance mode that Is recordable into the sequencer as well as cntrl-all recordable into the sequencer… woof!
Guitakt. Collaboration with Futureman.
New Syntone with FM, Wavetable, Granular and Physical Modelling engines please, 16 voices, full control like on DT.
Oooo! Just had an idea; OT mark 3, with an overbridge hub and a DJ deck jog wheel as well as the cross fader. So you can live scratch samples and the sequencer. Imagine having a few hot cue pads too. Would be perfect for me right now.
elektron model sampleR
actually samples/chops/edit/etc like a sp505
Mildly amusing how few of the suggestions are “very different” from any products past and current.
Edit: I mean, we’re here because we enjoy what Elektron currently makes but still
This is an excellent point. We need to be speculating even harder…
ELEKTRON MIDI GUITAR
Fully sequencable chords, riffs, slides, hammer-ons, the works.
Maybe a collaboration with Teenage Engineering and release the
OPmonomachinemachinedrumoctatrackanalogfourrythmtakttonetakt.
Analog video synth in the Digi form factor.
Syntakt should be followed by a collaboration with Magnus Lidström of Sonic Charge for Synplant 2, Elektron hardware edition.
what if they retrofit all octotracks with even better sound

SID 2022FS, but in black and with the modern sequencer, FX, etc etc. Supply yr own SID chips though (up to 8 slots).
They need to come up with their own version of the Roland M1 mixer, but something with a 16 pad midi controller. I hardware based solution to integrate multiple Elektron boxes outside of OB.
Faders like the Faderfox 16 easily routable to the multiple boxes via midi. In an OT form factor box.
I was thinking a couple days ago how useful it would be to have a VFX pedal that linked up to overbridge.
That old performance trick, when you’re on a guitar and fiddling about with the parameters was a lot of fun. Something you can get absolutely wild with when initially recording, but could still go back and edit with precision when its time to get serious.
I think this would be a really cool thing to Elektron to expand into.
The only issue with this is…
I think its a mixer
it’s a mixer that samples and slices
I think it would be cool to see Elektron’s take on some kind of video/lighting box.
It definitely will be an espresso machine. Elektron Espresso lets you trigger your coffee schedule using the sequencer you are familiar with and froth your drinks using up to 3 LFOs.
Come on. The coffee machine memes were SO 2015…
