Elektron-Users

OK Nils, what's the scoop? Too many bumps for a rumor...

There is no scoop, he's reminding people why we have MKII versions in the first place.

luckily! i would hate it to buy already a new version.

It never seems to stop. Make a good instrument and don't adjust this anymore.

What elektron does with the upgrades of the firmware is supercool but don't make 10 MD versions

Make a complete new instrument then, and that's what they did OT

Peace Love Elektron


Microtiming and more Ram is all it needs to be THE uber-MD. And this wouldn't even canibalize on the OT.

Correct. On the introduction of the MKIIs there were mile-long threads with posts from MKI owners that were "disappointed" and "let down" by Elektron for releasing the MKIIs, while the fact was that, like Tarektih explained, the upgrade was a sheer necessity for the continued production of the instruments. I just didn't want to see this kind of storm appear here again, considering the subject of this thread.

Well done! We're aproaching the 700 reads!

I'm waiting for the markIV, but not going to pre order it until the manual is online, I mean WTF? how can they expect me to part with money before reading the manual WTF?

Really? Absolutely shocking that a company should update an 8 year old piece of hardware to a new improved MKII version...simply not good enough! I would have been in here shaking my eFinger and swearing for sure! Greeed pure greeed I tell thee!

MKIII
Step length / time sig, per track.
Pendulum
USB / CF or SD card slot
...and a god damn power cable clip!!!

I'llllllll take it!

...scrap all that

Just build one with a power cable clip and I'llllllll take it!

I asked Elektron on Twitter what they were going to work on after the Octatrack; a MD or MnM mkIII, or something new like a poly synth. Obviously they told me that they were going to leave me hanging, but that they were working on "something." pretty much as I expected to hear. But reading why the mkII machines came outing the first place, that makes me speculate even more about what they could be working on lol,

A Virus-fighting groove box with an awesome sequencer? who knows.

On the more realistic front, I can't wait to get my Octatrack and a MnM mkII in a month or so.

They are working on a machine that warps a club full of people into mutant demons before melting their minds. Code name: Project Hectotrak.
