I agree, and with the extra space, they could make room for analog filters.
would it not be a rytm tho ?

a machinedrum/monomachine/octatrack esque super āmachineā based digital box with the rytm mark 2 pads/scene/perf paradigm, new digital machines with all the physical modelling frequency phase distortion modulation machines or whatever plus the classic md/mm machines, new sampling engines like a granular thing etc for the heads, arp and midi arp, scale per track and ping pong diddle dos for the sequencer, digitones voice allocation/stealing workflow so any track could be polyphonic for all the vangelis out there, mod matrix so any parameter from any track can modulate any parameter from any track for the freaks etc, etc ,
make this machine and then maybe more threads about cool stuff like competing methods for synthesizing the sounds of a racquet ball game and less about gear that doesnt exist

Yeah, yeah, I know. Get an A4.

Probably shouldnāt have said anything. The sub-$400 Tetra is gone.

Iāve been considering used Tetras too, but I would prefer if Sequential would revisit that 4-voice form factor with their current prophets. I love my A4, but thereās something about the way a P6 can do warm brassy pads. Though, Iām not sure I would like the tetra/mopho menu editing?
Once set up, though, a Tetra would be a beast. Itās also the perfect size to include in my Digitakt/Digitone world for live stuff. Iād probably sequence it with the Digitone. 
I think we all know what we really wantā¦a TRUE successor to The Machinedrum UW. One with the best features of the original (updated digital synthesis) and the sampling and arrangement features of the octatrack, with an additional features like sample lawyers. I personally would love three effects per track, 16 tracks, 14 for synthesis or sampling, track 15 for external sampling with 3 effects and track 16 Being a 4 effect master track and finally 16 midi tracksā¦price? Expensive. But itās time for Elektron to release a solid Flagship (halo) product, theyāve finally developed a 3 level product line system, now they just need the halo to complete the product model.

It may have been a typo, but I really like the sample lawyers feature. They can let me know beforehand if I am going to get sued or not for using a sample. So thereās a Lawyers button that starts blinking, and then you tap it and a little lawyer dude in a suit pops up on the screen and words like āLitigation Warningā start flashing. And then he gives some solid advice, like āIf you trim the last two seconds off that flute solo, youāre good.ā Now that would be a flagship product.

digital drum machine with real-time sampling / resampling, OT style crossfader / scenes.
With an active internet connection and a webservice with upload filters such a feature isnāt that futuristic anymore ā¦ brave new world.

maybe to dedicate time exclusively to fix firm bugs etcā¦but I understand the trappings of demand for return by investors.
A talking Octatrack. Like Alexa where instead of pressing buttons etc you can just say words like āOcta, mangle thatā. Or āOcta, Loop thatā. Blade runner ish idea but why not voice recognition commands.

Thatās the best thing Iāve ever heard you say!
mixer. 6 stereo ins, 3 stereo sends, 3 stereo returns, stereo or quad output. (28 in/out total). EQ & compression per channel, LFOs for panning & or envelope followers for panning, scanning the inputs & crossfading. Mute groups. Sprinkle with FX. Multitrack record to SSD drive internally.

Octatrack with about 80 knobs with one knob per function would be freakin ace!
