You have my vote, the first jam is excellent. Is that all AR sounds or also samples?

Thank you! Itā€™s been a while but Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s like 80-90% Rytm. I know thereā€™s an audio rate looping sample that I was scanning like a wavetable with the quick perform knob. That was the secret sauce imo :man_cook:t5:

I donā€™t know if anyone has noticed or maybe no one wants to say it but a lot of these already established/popular synthfluencersā€™ music is pretty bad. I would even venture to call it crappy. I think Dataline leaving was a major blow. I donā€™t really see anyone else pushing these Electrons to the limit like he used to do.

If you saw the awesome demo with Ess demoā€™ing the MC when it came out, thatā€™s a real double blow losing him too.

Iā€™d personally like to see a Swede, preferably from Elektron themselves demo their products again. They seem to have a knack for bringing out the quirky nuances and ethos which made Elektron gear unique in the first place.

Also happy to see other peopleā€™s interpretations of course but thatā€™s what first drew me to the Elektron universe a decade or two ago. :older_man:t2:

While i respect anyone who helps alleviate GAS, i do not know why the framing of that one annoys me that much. Probably just the boastful clickthrough title :stuck_out_tongue:

Not sure if itā€™s been posted here, but one of the Syntakt presets is an easter egg referencing Nick:

This is so good and funny. When heā€™s son starts to play the first 3 notes of the Smoke On The Water riff and Ozzy goes whatā€™s this?

How about Jeanne and Baseck both running into Ezbotā€™s Octatrack. Iā€™d buy all that gear, the album, and promotional poster in a heartbeat.

Ivar gets my vote for sure. I love his vids and songs. One of the few people Iā€™ve found on social media that I actually listen to the music they put out.

Also learned a lot about the Digitakt from him.

Not really a serious response to this thread but love his synth demos - they always make me want to buy. Great examples of one synth songs too.

I really liked Elin Pielā€™s presentation of Syntakt. I hope she does more work for Elektron

Yeah what ever happened to her working with them? I follow her on IG and like a lot of her work. Itā€™s not terribly beat-focused, which makes me wonder why they chose her to do it, but she did a great job and Iā€™d like to see her back using the new machines.
