Elektron Musical Instruments

Just wandered if anyone had any crazy ideas of what they would like 
to see for the next Elektron instrument if they were ever to make 
anything else.

I'd personally like to see something that uses some different types 
of synthesis like granular and Formant synthesis, also sampling with 
realtime control would be cool. All in an MD style system but with 
even more knobs :P heh.

Basically a kyma system for under £1500 :P

Ah well, I can dream.

If that's what you're looking 4, get a micromodular ;-)

I can tell you my Dream...

Its a perfect MPC 2000 alike thing...

almost everybody i know who is doing liveacts uses the MPC 2000, yet nobody 
is completely satisfied with its possibilities. And Akai doesnt show any 
sign of changing anything for good on its design...
And the Yamaha RS 7000 is too big and to heavy for me to carry while 
travelling...

I think with the Midimachines in the Machinedrum i will consider using the 
MD for sequencing and buying a small Sampler for triggering samples when 
going to play a live...if its works out to be reasonably comfortable, which 
i doubt a little bit, with the MD having no possibilty to use names on 
different tracks...


so its a combined sampler/Sequencer for me, with the genious Elektron 
Touch..

The micromodular has no way to store formant values. The MM also 
cannot do "real" granular as it has only 2.65 ms's of delay memory 
and has no ability to perform "PV, TDHS, FFT, DCT"...    I haven't 
heard an acceptable granular patch on the modular yet.  I've also had 
a go at making a number of them with the limited resources available 
on one 56309.

I hate to say this (because I don't like reaktor), but reaktor will 
do granular and formants.   The biggest difference between a kyma 
user and those using max/msp or reaktor, is going to be sound quality 
(we can skip that the kyma has quite a lot more processing modules 
for now).   The kyma can do 672 bands of realtime vocoding.  A 800mhz 
G4 can't even come close to this at 24/96khz.

I guess in this case money is your friend.
