OK, let’s suppose that Elektron release an 8-voice AK MK2. How much would you expect it to cost? I think it would be in the €2.000-2.500 range.

I think they’d have trouble selling substantial numbers at more than 2k€ unless it brings more to the table than just another 4 voices and overall I think the market potential for a lower cost (talking DT ball park) digital poly is a lot better than for an analog behemoth.

I get the feeling it’ll be more small analog devices that can be controlled via Overbridge. They’ve spent a lot of time and effort developing the technology behind it so I expect to see more.

I’d like to see a successor to the Monomachine; a very modern and versatile synth with an Elektron sequencer and CV ins. Not holding my breath though.

Forgot to mention currency, I was talking about Euros :slight_smile:

We are pretty close, $1.850 would be like €2.000-2.100 with VAT.

Also, the AK may cost $1.400 now but wasn’t it like $1.600 when it was first released?

So, a rumored trademark of a name based on a 100 year old Danish etiquette book apparently relates the DT to the possible new but still imaginary :elmm: thingy. :thinking:…
It must be true!
