Really, where have they hinted at that?
That would be sick. I love the fader on the OT. Higher resolution via CV would be awesome

canāt find the clip right now on youtube but I remember a head of elektron saying that they will release this year more products, than we can imagineā¦ if I remember correct the clip was shot at digitakt presentation @ namm. curious to find it again and listen to the big announcement. 
Elektron staff have said ābug fixes only nowā

Really hope that it doesnāt turn out to be just more DT style boxes. 6 voice Rytm without samples. One voice A4. OT without sampling (just fx + fader) etc. Those things would be OK and useful in their own way but hopefully some deeper big boxes with a bunch of ānewā stuff inside that each expand on or branch out from the dark trinity boxes rather than simplify/narrow their focus in to more affordable chunksā¦
That would be something.
I remember I opted this earlier in this topic.
Modularā¦ (no midi or USB troubles)

The obvious next machine, I think, would be a multi track synthesiser in the new form factor. Likeā¦ a āMonomachine 2ā. Of course it will be called something elseā¦ likeā¦ āDatalineā or something ā¦ A new digital polyphonic groove synth with really cool synth engines. Since itād be digital, the synth engines could be wildly different, and not share any common architecture.

I think theyāve left enough enthusiastic hints/comments to feel comfortable that the AH/DT format is their choic going forward. My gut feel is theyāre done with the big boxes for a while but one can dream of that OT2. There are a few features that Iād miss badly if I ever switched back to an OT from DT - an improved OT with those features built in, a DT XL so to speak, wouldnāt be a canabalising move in my opinion. Itād be like synth manufacturers releasing 8 or 16 voice versions.
Anyway, have said it before but the next non FX box will surely be an 8 voice synth in DTās format. Like Cuckoo says, essentially a MnM 2. Iād jump on that in a heartbeat!
I wouldnāt be surprised if there were an announcement for such a box when people have returned from their summer vacations. DT seems to attract quite a few newcomers to the Elektron universe. It would be foolish not to offer them companion devices with similar UI/price point, eventually constituting something similar to the black trinity and appealing to peopleās ācollect 'em allā desires. I just hope they manage to grow their dev team to reduce the time between updates for their existing machines.
When asked about the new format/price Simon said they still have ābigā projects on the boil too so theyāre definitly coming, I was just saying it would be great if one/some were amongst the releases mentioned for this year, not only these cheaper/less functions boxes

This would be pretty sweet. Especially with a battery 
Wonder if they can make things even smaller/lighter than DT? Like the height of an Op1/Beatstep pro? Portable 8 voice digital synth with Elektron sequencer would be amazing.
Guessing they need the extra space/weight for components etc tho and also like to keep controls at the same height level with their other boxes.
Forgot about Simons comment! Iām now pining badly for an DT XL/OT2ā¦

yea if I were a betting person, would bet on this.
same internals as DT - different sound engine and adapted UI.
big savings on R&D, quicker development cycleā¦ would corroborate the statements that there will be devices raining down upon us this yearā¦ and would also help explain why HQ is incredibly busy rnā¦

Yup , similar to novation doing monocircuit , grab most functions from mature machine and update sound engine and ui
4 x monosynths.
4 note poly synth
Changeable synth engines
Or
Plockable fx box , 4 independent fx types that can be configured in serial / parallel etc
4 track sequencer for each fx
Over-bridge
Needs DT to be mature though , all is not bad as I think heat has shipped without a lot of issues.
this.
hopefully, something that is also useful for rhythmic sounds - kind of like a machinedrum/monomachine hybrid, in the new form factor. I would be really into something like this.

I love this post and agree with all of it!
AMEN Brother!
Yeah, the infrastructure is there to make a nice synth. Lots of possibilities. Iād be alright if they dropped the external midi sequencing and just load it up with FX and sound design options. Perhaps fun ways to route/effect external audio.
Iād love to see something like the monomachine. It has so many options in the ways you can arrange the machines inside. Its like having a mini modular setup in a box.
Digimachine! Just like monomachine but with DigiX features!
