It would have to be mk 3 or something else, right? The current iteration is mk 2.
Edit: ah, the relevant thing is that mk 2 is going out of stock?
That’s it, exactly … Not just out of stock. Discontinued. That’s big difference.
Maybe for the Mk3 they will do a smaller digitakt size model ?
man i be interested in a replacement octatrack! i dream of 32bit float. polyphonic and a much-improved pitch shift/time stretch algo.... MPE be rad too.
I would be surprised if they updated the old Octatrack codebase in any major way so close to reissuing the Digitakt and Digitone.
My (somewhat vague) understanding is that the Octatrack codebase is not close to the Digitakt/Digitone and the knowledge-base for working on it was lost with people leaving Elektron.
Maybe they they replace it with a new machine that is a re-creation not an extension of the Octatrack. I could also see a mini one coming out (though you'd miss the old shortcut buttons). It seems like a dead-end to put major effort into updating the old Octatrack.
I am expecting same. "Hexadecatrack"
... 16 tracks .. more FX per track (4 instead of 2 ??) .. etc .. those DSP-chips they use for their new platform (DT2, DN2) are at least 4x as much powerfull ast old generation used also in Octa (if not more), so it makes sense they make something supercharged.
Unfortunatelly, expecting also price go up siginificantly.. my raw guess is it will go around $1600 - $2000 if what i mentioned above is true ..
Time to sell kidney.
That name crossed my mind too haha.
I wonder if they'll do something fairly different than the previous Octatrack which fits a similar niche when using it alongside other Elektron gear. By this I mean maybe they'll put out a machine that acts as a hub for all the other Elektron gear over USB and will allow live looping and further processing. Kinda like the Torso S-4?
I'm really not sure though. Its hard to think what path Elektron would take that doesn't heavily overlap with the Digitakt. Their past two lines of gear have been somewhat "simplifications" compared to their previous machines. Anything like a "better Octatrack" would be a next generation of gear for Elektron and I dunno what path they're looking to take.
I would buy a proper next gen Octatrack in a heartbeat, but the Digitakt II has quite a lot of overlap with the MKII so it would be interesting to see how Elektron would differentiate a new machine to the extent that they could (presumably) justify a much higher price point for what would likely be a flagship device.
Given Digitakt II as far as I can tell covers the drum machine aspect of Octatrack more than DT1 did, maybe a more specialized stem-player-come-mixer could be a thing? (Spoken though as an ex-OT owner/hater
)
Maybe this will be the rumored Tonverk with 'Best of Elektron' in one box
don’t rhink so, On leaked photos Tonverk was missing some crucial Octatatrack elements .. I think IF something comes, it will be either Octatrack mk3 or Octatrack II (makes more sense to me)
I’d be very surprised myself. Talking with Elektron folks when the MKII came out they made it pretty clear the MKII was one last hurrah to keep it in production as long as possible, and that an MKIII would be almost impossible due to the coding and how hard it would be to add more functionality at anything close to the current price. Hopefully they get around that as it would be an insta buy for me, but I’m not holding my breath.
I would laugh if the Tonverk turned out to actually be a development box for building their other machines, not an actual release hardware. Would be a bit weird with the name trademark registered, but who knows.
Yes, pretty much this may be true ..
Why elektron registered tonverk as trade mark then?
Ooooh, I can’t wait!
It’s not discontinued. From a very good source:
They oficially said they pretty much do more internal projects and prototyping, but this doesn’t mean that particular product will make it to production .. Tonverk may be exactly this case ..
I've done early product testing for other companies, and it's not uncommon for them to register a name very early on just in case they decide to go with it. I remember Roland did this with some of the early groovebox prototypes I was testing, most never went anywhere or were folded into other products.
Looking at the success of the *takt series, I wouldn't be surprised if a lower spec Octatakt, Tonverk or whatever would fill the gap between *takt and Octatrack.
Even the new Digitakt 2 has left a lot to be desired compared to the Octatrack and I would welcome more power without the complexity. At least for me that might be a reason to ever buy an elektron box again.
The official statement didn't confirm that tonverk is a prototype
still I think we will see it released. The unit that was photographed doesn't look as a product in an early stage of development nor a prototype.
