Elektron | Digitakt, Octatrack, Analog Rytm

Elektron invented the Parameter Lock sequencer and continues to define the state of the art in hardware for live electronic music performance.

Elektron is the Swedish company that transformed the concept of live electronic music instruments. Its most revolutionary innovation is the Parameter Lock: the ability to assign a different value for virtually any synthesizer or effects parameter to every individual step of a pattern, creating rhythmic and melodic variations of a complexity that would otherwise be impossible to perform in real time. First introduced with the original MachineDrum in 2001, this philosophy remains at the heart of every Elektron instrument.

The Octatrack MKII is the flagship hardware workstation in the Elektron lineup, featuring eight tracks for sampling, effects processing, looping, MIDI sequencing and complete live set management. It remains one of the most powerful performance instruments ever created and is still regarded by many professionals as the ultimate live electronic music workstation. The Analog Four MKII is Elektron's four-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer, combining four independent analog synth engines, an arpeggiator, stereo effects and the full creative power of Parameter Locks. The Analog Rytm MKII merges analog drum synthesis with sampling, providing eight analog voices, each paired with its own dedicated sample layer.

The Digitakt II represents the next generation of Elektron's compact sampler and sequencer. It features 16 stereo tracks that can be freely assigned as either audio or MIDI tracks while delivering the same advanced sequencing algorithms that made Elektron famous, all within a compact format equally suited to studio production and live performance. The Digitone II takes FM synthesis to an entirely new level with a multisynthesis architecture combining Linear FM, Wavetable and Swarm synthesis engines, offering 16 voices of polyphony through Elektron's intuitive workflow. The Syntakt is a twelve-track drum machine and synthesizer, where each track features its own dedicated analog or digital synthesis engine for creating drums, basses, leads and sound effects within a single instrument. The Model:Cycles and Model:Samples series brings the Elektron workflow to a more compact, intuitive and affordable format.
