anyway I´d preffer more info revealed at this point...

^ in the same boat here.

it seems to me even that the shown device could be a mockup.

note the big gaps concerning encoder to surface of the unit.
also take a closer look on the PSU-cable, there´s no plug-connector; seems odd to me.
aside of that, the red jack looks unfamiliar too somehow.
maybe i´m wrong though.

Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into that. This was promo pretty elaborate, it was probably filmed weeks or maybe even months ago. Just because the ad was released this morning doesn't mean they filmed it yesterday...

it's a follow-up to the short they made in 2010 right before octatrack was revealed:

Re:Sounds Analog to Me 11 Years, 10 Months ago
At this point I would also love to know the price and have an in depth video or at least official specs of the unit and all its capabilities....but on the good side of things, I have the Trinity to keep me busy.

So, Elektron although your little short films of Hector are very creative and entertaining, they will not get you to Sundance or Cannes...Lets have some videos of the actual unit in action instead of videos with a talking arm.

Just my 2 cents.

then what we have is either a shite product or irrelevant promotion?

Yes. Or neither.

Re:Sounds Analog to Me 11 Years, 10 Months ago
I love it!
Don't take it so seriously!!
I think many of you (critic) don't get it, or it is just out of frustration of not having a price and realise date.
It's an ironic (I mean... Hetor c'mon!) si-fi saga: an apocalyptic future where music has the incredible power of saving or destroying us!
A very fun entertaining way of teasing us.
why don't just enjoy it?
Probably many sounds are from this machine, but not only: some seems to be processed by OT.
I've watched on a TV set with big speakers and it sounds fantastic.
No negative comments what so ever.
I just hope it will be not too expensive....
my guess:
€ 1200

we'll see....

i never claimed it was filmed yesterday.
also i´m not that naive

marketing or not, an advertising campain like this isn´t for free and eats up quite an amount of money which the end-user will pay eventually.

what did the spot come up with? almost nothing.
it left the potentially willing customer totally in the dark.

other than that i just tried to point out what jumped into my eyes while watching the still picture posted before and those encoders DO look terribly wonky.

although i don´t have an octatrack, i had expected elektron to be quicker about solving bugs flaws and what not before having the next unit thrown into the market.
when reading threads here about the octa i feel some customers aren´t quite happy with how it is by now, while prices will drop on the second hand sector for sure.

maybe i´m wrong again

Id like to see it become a sci fi series.... I think the critics just want to know what the synth part of the theme is, as there already in the middle of watching metropolis
