I guess the way I think is, I’m pretty burnt on buying/selling hardware for several years now. Not much has really stuck around. I think if I am going to drop serious money on hardware it better check about 90% or more of my wishlist boxes.
Otherwise, I will soon grow tired of it or question why I bought it in the first place when I am perfectly content (well, almost ) to fiddle around in Ableton Live. I can sample and sequence like mad in Ableton, no limitations. If I’m buying a drum sampler/synth it better be a dream machine.
I guess it could be boiled down to the phrase: All or nothing. The whole thing is not a serious situation by any means and might just be psychological trick I am playing on myself. I can’t spend $ on a dream machine they will never make! Yay, saving $ is cool!
My guess for their next big box is essentially the DT and Tone combined but with OT functions and, yeah, doubling of Tone voices. Won’t happen till OB2 is done tho. The Groovebox to kill em all.
Do you really think another analog synth from Elektron would sound that much different?
And it doesn’t make much sense to release two machines in the same area (unless the new one is an entry level type one with a quite restricted feature set / mono synth?).
This thread should be deleted until Elektron deal with the backlog of existing issues.
I’m only half joking. Threads like this, full of people queuing up to commit more money to unfinished and slightly crippled new boxes, definitely contribute to the problem of Elektron as a company taking the wrong path.
I would love to see a 49 key version of the Digitone, with 16 voices, direct outs etc. Kinda like a digital version of the AK. I have a feeling something like that would sell out instantly.
