there's been a good bit of chat / contemplation about it over on VSE & i'm sure the elektron forum. still have an SFX-6, had an MD-UW mkII i only kept for about two weeks, personally it'd take something pretty amazingly different for me to be interested.

i still have my monomachine too! such a beast. i think i'm prob in a similar boat as you in terms of actually purchasing it.

from their teaser pic you can tell it has an arpeggiator, two oscillators, chorus, delay & reverb. IMO the best guess yet is simply it's a monomachine mkIII.

Maybe the older Monomachine will go on sale and I can actually afford it...or maybe the GAS from the new model will eclipse everything. Either way it's dangerous.

i heard that theyve said it is a new product in their line, not an mk upgrade

all the elektron stuff is like 20% off or something on their website, and i believe that some retailers have dropped their prices as well....octatrack for just under $1000?
ive started considering grabbing a machinedrum again during all this

video is crazy and amazing and i dig that elektron keeps doing off-the-wall marketing like this (they had a similar video for the octatrack).
oh and specs for the analog-four that have been floating around, and seem pretty legit based on the video and other info:
4 synth voices.
2 Analog oscillators per voice.
2 Analog filters per voice.
1 Analog overdrive circuit per voice.
Multiple LFOs and envelopes per voice.
Elektron step sequencer with parameter locks.
Kit and Sound storage.
All new hi-quality effects.
2x dual CV/Gate outputs.
Dedicated CV/Gate and FX sequencer tracks.
2x External inputs.
2x Main outputs.
1x Headphones output.

wonder if it will be 1 track, 4 voices, or 4 tracks 1 voice per track w/ the polyphonic option to stack all the tracks?
