What's next for Elektron?

to the next next thing? really? are they not stretched thin enough for you? haha

They are doing fine IMO, but what’s the name of this thread?

Digiwave - Wavetable synth with a twist, Digidrum - digital drum synth, no samples, Digiloop - Mixer with looping functionality and song mode to tie everything together and allow for seamless transitions.

I like a line of giant Pocket Operators

kizunaut · January 26, 2018, 9:40pm

…and Pocket Operators are the ones where you can save pattern chains.

jefones · January 26, 2018, 9:40pm

Is that ability in the new ones? Awesome

pidgeo · January 26, 2018, 9:42pm

I’d say digi drumsynth next. MD successor with a twist.
that there’s a bit of wavetable in the digitone already that might mean a wavetable digi might be shelved.

maybe. of course I’m totally guessing too.

I like the sound of a looping mixer

ok I say looping taktmixer next.
digimix

+1 for mixer/looper & fx

I think the Heat was a learning lesson for Elektron in their intention of making immediate interfaces- I don’t think it was ever an intention to be a long term destination for them.

I don’t see them making a multi-FX box either especially with the Zoia or what’s it called being offered

If I had to bad guess it- I’d say they’ll make an imitation digital modular next

Either that or a box that’s like a pumped up version of op1 tape machine

pidgeo · January 26, 2018, 10:11pm

I’d. love an elektron all in one modular where the sequencer tracks and track modulation can interact with other tracks.
that for me would be MM mk3

yes please

Ryan · January 26, 2018, 10:16pm

Most likely- their next project will be a digital drum synth now that I’m thinking about it

oldbills · January 26, 2018, 11:12pm

Really really would like a modern take on a 4 track with effect sends and more than just a stereo input.

Don’t even need any crazy effects just pitch

The op-1 is nice but I’d like to be able to use more than just 1 input.

Ryan · January 26, 2018, 11:22pm

I’d imagine it would be something that you could use OB on- connect a A4/DT/DT/AR and you could record your tracks on that instead of a computer

Airyck · January 27, 2018, 3:11am

That sounds awesome and I’d love to see something like that happen

moo · January 27, 2018, 7:06pm

Digibass, Digiwave, Digikeys and finally a Digiflex where you can customise the feature set and firmware options.

Anfim · January 27, 2018, 7:23pm

Digibone

it’s durable
dogs love it
it’s made of bone

Jukka · January 27, 2018, 7:50pm

Charlie McMahon demonstrates the Digibone

Actually this is pretty cool! “The dog loves it too.” There’s another video of it that follows.

Added: The “Face Bass” – hope this guy trademarked that, it’s good.

Anfim · January 27, 2018, 7:55pm

Hahah, I have no idea what’s going on here but I’m loving it.

psyclone001 · January 27, 2018, 8:00pm

Elektron should do a hybrid next.
Expand on the fm synth to include more digital synthesis, running into analog filters, vca’s etc.
Much more knobs as well would be great

Open_Mike · January 27, 2018, 8:30pm

In the video with Simon he refers to building the Digitone on the Digitakt “platform” so it took much quicker…

He also mentions that the Digitone has two of the processors from the Digitakt and processes sound internally at 96k 32bit resolution…
