1. I don’t need it, I don’t need it…

   I NEED IT

2. Since it’s Elektron, I anticipate it will be pretty cool but WILDLY expensive for what it does.

   Looks pretty, but I can already tell the fact that there are 12 pads instead of 16 would be a no-go for my MPC-slanted mind it we’re supposed to be able to chop samples on this thing.

3. Dammit, Elektron. Stop taking my money!

4. Flashy

5. Ahhh, the analog Drum Machine the Roland Tr8 could have been 😉

   1. The TR-8 will probably be a third of the price and it has knobs and sliders for every sound. Completely different beast.

6. WELL! my guess is that is has pads! *snap!*
   limping jokes aside i guess this could have FM / granular synthesis inside. That would allow it not to overlap with any earlier elektron machines and still be one hell of a machine. Those pads could also be seen as a FM matrix! Well… one can dream. There also has been very good implementations of analog thru-zero FM as of late so an analog implementation of FM-padmachine would really be unique and get them a lot of attention (and for a reason) Who doesn’t want an insane bells-and-whistles fm-drummachine with pads and elektron hands-on-gui/sequencer?

7. Analog Rhythm

8. Seeing as it only has 12 pads, I get the feeling that rather than being a next-gen machinedrum only, it could be an “all-in-one” machine. i.e. a box that blends aspects of the MD, A4/Monomachine, and Octatrack? The background music also has more than just drums going on. If it is something like that, my wallet is in trouble…

9. “an “all-in-one” machine.”

   that was called a groovebox in the past century

10. I wonder if the quality of the pads can be compared to Maschine MKII which is superb.

11. A $400 travel case.

12. I’m guessing it’s an effects processor or a new drum machine to expand upon the machinedrum.

    An effects processor would be a great addition to the elektron line… parameter locking multieffects all over the place. 🙂

13. Well that looks like huge fun! Sparkly lights! But I’ve already learnt the hard way that groove boxes aren’t for me, no matter HOW many pretty lights and buttons it has :/

    1. Seriously? try an Eletribe MX they are made for everyone .. yup even you.

14. a relatively useful, inexpensive(i know it’s not exactly something elektron’s known for)standalone hardware MIDI controller/sequencer with parameter locks would be nice. I’ve owned a few elektron devices & as beautifully constructed as they are, it feels like you are always buying a boutique item.

15. I love my Monomachine, Its never leaving my setup and has been a huge payoff for me synth and SEQ wise. However my brain aches at the thought of learning another Elektron Machine. Can`t wait to see the details regardless. They better have a brilliant one here, my wallet is under lock and key.

    1. I hear you there! 🙂

       Hopefully the new Elektron box will have a more analog four or machinedrum workflow (vs. the monomachine and octatrack’s weirdness…)

16. maybe a sampling groovebox with a cv/trig sequencer track or 4

17. Sploosh!

18. I say a 3 channel, 4-part, multi fx chain/matrix unit.

19. It’s an analog drum machine.

20. Mpc with aids

    1. (An MPC with)
       Aids is just the id(ea) of someone who tried to put an id(entity) in your as if’s.

       1. very e. e. Cummings of you.

          1. ED/D… W(ho) L.E.T. the cunNinG CumM’inG’s dy’nasty?!

    2. Lol.

21. analog drum machine

22. Searching for a quadrinity case…

23. Wouldn’t it be N-ice if all the new world orders come rolling in to be delivered from a N-ice frosted box, into the penumbra’lalala’s of the N-ice i-Nuit whose iGlo’ws’tickles all your boxes. While S’till unaware of the weather or not it makes this thunderdome of a plan-E.T. come together.

24. Well look at that thumb go, all the way down to the point where there are no more id(entities) left.
    As if.

25. Matthew 7:6

26. I will vote down your comment if you don’t praise everything and have even a slightly different opinion that me

    -Unreasonable fanboys

    That being said, it looks awesome, just gonna reserve judgement till I know the price and all the features. Now you can vote me down.

27. I’m not your Buddy Guy

28. I guess what you meant to say was “I will vote down your comment if you (-) praise everything…”
    However… are you unaware of the possibility that the “box” is the throne of the “chain that binds”,
    and when plan-E.T. crashes they always search for the black box to be Abel to listen to what has been going on inside the cockpit of earth?

29. Who cares, generic middle of the road synthesis. ..

30. Cat is out of the bag,
    8 voice Analog drum machine with sample loading capabilities
