xox Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) That akai looks more capable and immediate, or even fun, than the octatrack to me, but i havent use either of them so...i could be terribly wrong Edited January 18, 2019 by xox Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/96277-namm-2019-the-thread/page/4/#findComment-2692546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line made me laugh because the ex-Akai people I've been friends with (they had all moved on by the end of the MPC Renaissance debacle, both out of frustration and because most of them earned about the same as an entry level McDonalds employee does around here) used to say "game changer" ironically all the time because it was so overused there, both internally and in their marketing and press releases. "This new fuzz pedal I got is A GAME CHANGAH!" etc. etc. Not that they're the only ones who do that of course.

d-a-m-o Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 So basically the new elektron is a glorified volca sample lol huge let down, guess we lost them and the possibility of a new forward thinking drum machine...

modey Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I imagine the new Elektron will sell like crazy. I think they'll conquer a new sector of the market tbh.

Guest Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not so sure about the new segment of the market. This thing is EUR 490. Digitakt is 614 new. Not sure why you would not spend the additional EUR 120.

Taupe Beats Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I was quietly hoping they'd do an additive synth in the Digitone/Digitakt form.

digit Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Elektron have outside investors now so they have to keep the money men happy. For a long time now everything they have released has been with the aim of expanding their market and appealing to a wider audience. I see a lot of volca / teenage engineering envy. Trying to copy what others are doing, motivated by money concerns, rather than innovate or work on their flagship machines, which have bugs that need to be addressed, not to mention the overbridge fiasco. The company has lost its way big-time. Reminds me of Apple focusing on the general consumer and ignoring their power users, the artists and designers. I'm sure it is financially rewarding for them, but they no longer speak to my needs. It's sad because their stuff used to be so good.
