Quote from: Sacred Synthesis on January 17, 2018, 07:00:59 PMI would find a single digital oscillator rather stiff. If there's one thing that warms up nicely an icy cold digital wave shape, it's a second icy cold digital wave shape to beat alongside it. When designing a digital pad on the PEK, I always feel the need to enrich its tone with a generous amount of oscillator beating, including from two analog triangles. But one digital oscillator? Brrr!It's a bitimbral synth, so maybe layering two patches that only feature digital oscillators would be the simple solution. It is also said to contain the ensemble effect of the PolySix, so that could help as well.

Also I guess as the digital oscillator seems to be able to run different code then I guess you could stick a dual oscillator in the slot, depending on dsp grunt.
Korg are also doing ARP versions of their SQ-1 sequencer

Not so much a prediction, but a wish... a new Memorymoog. Pretty please. With 2 LFOs this time. I’ll buy one, I promise.OK, so file that under “it ain’t happening, but man I’d love to see it.”

Multitimbral in a sense that each of the voices can be split, layered or chained (for polyphony) in any manner the user wishes. Even at four voices the versatility of that Moog alone would sell incredibly well.

But I think we agree it would sell. Like hot cakes.
Well the FM synth everyone* has been asking for might be here: https://www.elektron.se/products/digitone/*okay not everyone but a good number of people
Other than the Quantum, Polylogue (for some), and Digitone (for others)... was NAMM a yawner? Did I miss something?

That would be the best marketing scheme... most bang for your buck.
NAMM is quite a let down from the glory days of the Prophet 12 and Sub 37.But no, I take that back. There's this masterpiece. I'm thinking of getting two and running them is stereo:http://www.synthanatomy.com/2018/01/namm2018-blipblox-is-a-new-synthesizer-designed-for-kids.html
What a disappointing show. Roland and Yamaha did absolutely nothing of significance.
