there it is!
I like the effort though, love seeing mock ups of gear
Even though I knew it was fake I still found myself scrutinizing all the features as if it were realā¦

Lucky! I would have went this year (I live in San Diego) but I just had a kid so itās be at home time until I go back to work next week.
Actually Iām starting believing itās really a Digitakt update. Look at the table color on Simonās photo. Itās Digitakt color

Now we pivot this thread away from āwhat is Digitone??ā to the next thingā¦
I was thinking theyād definitely do a Monomachine Mk III (a ābig brotherā to the lower-end Digitone, tabletop digital synth) but a comment by Simon recently made it seem like theyāre not thinking āremakeā right now. Not sure if that means itās definitely the death knell for the AK MK II, I still am hoping for one.
Iām going to guess they wonāt be thinking a new premium priced single fx box like an Analog Heat is worthwhile.
Which brings me again to what is still lacking in the Elektron ecosystem - a performance mixer like the Roland MX-1 with tons of i/o for other elektron gear as a usb hub, master clocking, FX chains as inserts or sends, p-locked sequencing for all the effects, etc.
I donāt think the OT is up to the challenge as a ābrainā + mixer for the high-end Elektron units at this point - not least because it doesnāt have faders for channels!

YES!!!
Iād like to see it in the new MKII form factor too.
Iām thinking they will offer something delay/verb related in AH format.
Now that I think about it, maybe the FX box thing could work in that form factor, without the mixer stuff.
Either way, yeah lets keep this moving forward.
Howād you do that?

I could see a Digitakt form factor multithingy with the following:
- Mixer with 4 stereo tracks
- 4x effects per track
- Digital 4 track recorder
- You can also use the tracks of the recorder as loopers
- 4 channel sequencer with song mode
- p-locking effects, fader scenes and so on
EDIT: Why not make it the octababy and give the 4 tracks a sampler functionality too. Like you use two sampled tracks along two stereo inputs, or just one, or use this as a 4-track sampler.
The sampling would be oriented towards longer samples and loop cutting so it would not compete with the Digitakt too much in that regard. Resampling would also be in. Some kind of digital tape emulation would be fun, but maybe thatās too much of Teenage Engineeringās realm.
But can you imagine it? āDigitape, the digital 4-track tape studio with Tape Cutting and Overdubbing.ā

Scenes with a joystick instead of a cross

Sounds like a great idea to me, they would sell a ton of them.
Could they fit 4 of the OT-style faders on a box that size along with everything else needed?
Iām also thinking the faders could somehow duo as both volume faders in a mixer mode and scene crossfades in a scene mode (might be hard to use with non motorized faders though, since they would represent 2 different values simultaneously)
I think they might manage to fit 4 faders, and yeah, it would be cool if you could use them as mixer and scene crossfaders.
Perhaps it would have a mode of operation where you have like 4 recorded tracks and 4 sequenced and mixed in tracks playing simultaneously.
Somebody made a mock up of just that somewhere around here.
