I think dark grey is a good look for the Octatrak. Kinda dislike the round buttons but if they result in a cheaper unit somehow I'm all for it.

now... demos? please? It'll help me get through the night at work?

I don't like the design.

Why all of those round buttons? (op-1???)
Why don't keeping consistent with the (immortal) elektron trademark design?
The contrast ratio of black on dark gray is a bad choice.
You don't have any kind of hint of how the buttons are related:
the MD and the MOno have those thin lines and the black faceplate that help you get thru the interface. This crude look is very misleading.

Could be due to some new designers?
Did the man who designed MD and MNM leave?
It's clearly designed by another mind.
Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm very disappointed with it. And I'm an elektron freak, EVEN for the physical interface design.

Is the elektron flavour lost forever?

Of course it will work as a charm and I will buy it, still I really can't see why it's so far from the perfect aestethics and layout of MD and Mono.

Thumbs down for the form.

Can't wait to know the function.

Really hoping that within the next few hours some explanation of specs, what it can do etc comes up, wouldnt be worth them previewing the model unless A) its in production or its available to order. The round buttons also made me feel like it was cheaper somehow but im guessing there will be a suite of new look MD MM OT together. Surprised theres nothing much to go on yet...reckon we'll be waiting a few months before we can buy these Been searching for a live resampler/looper to suit for ages...

I like it it. The look is a bit "industrial". Just be thankful the buttons aren't triangular and the face isn't hot pink!

Ps. Gray might not be the final version: maybe it is a prototype stage.
