Monomachine with 8 Tracks, different Synth Models (like before + some added exotics, similar to the OP-1 design) but - most importantly: with a fresh, modern and powerful sound! This would be everything i really want. Complements well with the Digitakt and if you run out of Voices, well - just sample with the Digi, easy as that
I honestly don’t know where I would ever need 18 voices but I like to rest my forearm across the keybed every-once-and-awhile. But being sensible I hope they release a digital synth in the small form and a multiple track multi-effects box as well. Though I own a DD500 and MD500 I’d really like to see Elektron dish out something into the same market.
Yes mate. I just picked up a Heat yesterday and I’m so impressed. The more I think about it the more I feel Elektron is just leaving money on the table by not offering a similar reverb box.
A) The type of people who buy Elektrons also end up with a Strymon or Eventide
B) The eurorack community (which interfaces a lot with the Elektron community) is underserved for reverb in the format
C) Guitar pedals are fucking ugly, I don’t want something with footswitches sitting on my desk
D) USB. The one thing limiting a lot of folks from using outboard effects is the idea of routing audio out from a DAW on 1/4" cables and back in via an interface. It sucks. Analog Heat showed the way forward here…
Which means we will need some slick way of connecting all our nice boxes to Ableton simultaneously… hmmmmm
after hearing the Digitakt reverb, yes if they could bring that quality to five different reverb types and maybe offer p-locked sequencing of the reverb parameters that would be potentially amazing
I think I’d prefer either a FM / wavetable / granular 6 voices synth (with a FX voice for plocking FX)…
Or a smartly conceived box to unify all my gear outputs, making it possible to add FX / record a session, route everything in every ways…
I’d love to see a groovebox like Korgs latest Electribe (not the sampler) but with all the good features from elektron and with much more modulation possibilities. More voices. Able to play samples. Does not have to be analog. Could be digital in order to have more voices, more mod possibilities and more fx types. An intern battery, a small keyboard like the A4, Size should be similar to an electribe. Wold pay 1k for something like that!
A digital powersynth like access virus ti2 but with the power of modern hardware! (Virus is almost 10 years old, and still one of the best digi. synths you can get) I would love to see what elektron would be able to do with modern hardware.
A wavetable synth. Granular synth ect. Just a form of sound sznthesis that we not already have. We all have probably enougth subtractiv hardware synths!
Wi-fi piggy bank where upon a sufficient deposit, details of a new unit is released to the user. Like a ladder system, more details are released with incremental savings. When sufficient funds to pay for the device are saved then Elektron give you the option to buy or withdraw your savings.
As many people have said - I would bet a LOT of money on the next ‘new’ device being a digital/FM synth in the Digitakt box form factor - 4 or 8 voices.
This hypothetical DM with the DT would be an amazing combination- if it could also midi sequence I would be in love.
I’m actually getting excited over this hypothetical device.
But yes, Elektron doing legitimate 6 op FM(Or hell, give FM8 a run for its money and I will get really excited) in it’s Elektron style would be superb. And FM synthesis makes really exciting percussive sounds- sample that into the DT for beat making. Oooh baby! Sign me up!
