Today, I want to talk about the rumored Octatrack MKIII from Elektron, and let me tell you, I am not happy about it.
First things first, let’s talk about the flammable power handle. I mean, seriously, Elektron? Are you trying to burn down our studios? Who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to include a power handle that could potentially go up in flames? It’s like they’re playing a sick joke on us, endangering our expensive gear and our creative spaces. It’s just downright irresponsible.
And don’t even get me started on the recycled hardware. It seems like Elektron is getting lazy and cutting corners. Instead of innovating and pushing boundaries, they’re just repackaging the same old stuff and trying to pass it off as something new and exciting. Come on, Elektron, we deserve better than that. We deserve innovation, not rehashed products with a fresh coat of paint.
But you know what? This rumored Octatrack MKIII is just a symptom of a bigger problem at Elektron. The departure of the CEO has left a void in leadership, and it shows. The glory days of Elektron, when Cenk and Ess were at the helm, seem like a distant memory. They understood what made Elektron special, and they pushed the boundaries of electronic music production. But now, it feels like the company has lost its way. They’re more interested in gimmicks and quick cash grabs than in delivering groundbreaking tools for musicians.
I miss the days when Elektron was at the forefront of innovation, when their products were synonymous with quality and creativity. But now, it feels like they’re just coasting on their reputation, hoping that their loyal fanbase will buy anything they put out. Well, I’m not falling for it, and I’m sure many others feel the same.
The Elektron of today is a mere shadow of its former self, and it remains to be seen whether it can reclaim its past glory or forever remain mired in mediocrity. So, Elektron, if you’re listening, it’s time to step up your game. Stop with the flammable power handles, stop recycling old hardware, and start giving us something truly inspiring and game-changing. The music community deserves better than this, and it’s time for Elektron to reclaim its rightful place at the top of the electronic music world.
