Here's an idea for the next Elektron undertaking that would make them money, and require no investment in hardware engineering. Monomachine OS2. Same hardware, but with a new set of synths. 1. CZ-MnM - Phase distortion synthesis ala Casio CZ-101 family. 2. Super+ - Full-on additive synthesis. 3. Vectrex - a processor machine that records the freekin' joystick movement! Up down, and left-right vary the mix of four other synths. 4. MonoWave - wave-station type morphing. You could use the arpeggiator to set up the wave-sequence (or um... something like that - I don't have a wave-station). 5. Granular pro - a granular synth. Maybe like maelstrom? Haven't used that one. 6. Granular processor. - another processor machine that takes grains from another synth, or external input, and performs processing like Audio-mulch's nebulizer. 6b. (not a synth) - a polyphonic MIDI sequencer that allows layering of notes. Holding down a note shows a blinking yellow light that tells which step the note-off comes on for that particular note. So, you have pretty much the same general UI, just some new synths. And they could charge the typical arm and leg for it (providing me with a discount for thinking it up, of course). And if it were good enough, people would need to buy another MnM to run both OS's at once! -gerald
