Tons of chatter and speculation at Elektron-Users.

If it is released and for sale before my Xmas break, I will probably be one of the "beta testers" (translation = early adopters).

Sounds cool...

''New product from Elektron, Q4 2012.'' So hopefully

Re: NEW Elektron teaser site ''tradition-and-future'' for an upcoming product

i am a diehardsoftwareonly user but i must admit i have a weak spot for Elektron products. I owned and sold 2 machinedrums and one monomachine-and this new one has given me the first GAS in years!
the difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference

I am not exactly gagging for a real analog as I quite like VA's but this things sound (demo) and the combination of synth/sequence tricks will be very interesting...

Elektron is one of the few companies who have understood the importance of combining synthesis with sequencing-the parameter locks are very powerful tools

Re: NEW Elektron teaser site ''tradition-and-future'' for an upcoming product

seems like a winner... depends on the price though... Elektron stuff is expensive (except for SIDstation originally?) and there's alot of other things I want

Roland should take a hint and spend their marketing dollars on cool scifi shorts instead of countdowns.

I suspect their Movie would be a bit cheezy and non Sci Fi as they have that kind of overall product set... The hills are a live with music ... LOL

They put so much heart and soul into the advertising that you just appreciate the company even more. :-)

I'd like to see and hear it do creamy pads and strings to seal the deal. I thought about getting a Mopho X4 but it's just not made for this department. I think I got the best in DSI analog in the Mopho Keyboard Mono.
