I can follow Miles in his argumentation and understand his reluctance well ... FUNC+No is for me a very essential function of the ELEKETRON devices that I own. FUNC+No expresses the whole creative potential of the machines from Sweden. Much is created by trial and error, by trying things out. FUNC+No gives me the opportunity to return to the starting point and try again. And exactly this, the designing, the trying out, the approaching, that is the most beautiful thing. Despite the many fascinating possibilities, about 1000 euros is too much for me. If FUNC+No is possible, then I would certainly buy the HEAT +FX....

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Exactly that. I can see eg with my Mother-32 that I'm experimenting way less as it is quite hard to restore the initial state. So I really hope this will come to the +FX especially when new models will be added in the future which then of course encourages for even more experimentation.

@mredrollo Год назад

love that you took the time to create this content on your trip!

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Cheers buddy! Yeah it was quite a lot to be honest and I underestimated it a little - next year I will probably take it a little easier. :)

@matthiasreichert4016 Год назад

Nice! squeezed in a question about updates. AR mkii 🤞

Cheers Matthias! Crossing my fingers for you. :)

@jonwoodcock3198 Год назад

Good vid and questions Miles 👍

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Thanks a bunch for the feedback Jon - happy to hear. 💚

@Silvio_Jadranic Год назад

Perfect example how minimal setup can make maximal impact. Excellent work, keep it up 🙌🙌🙌

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Thank you so much Silvio! Very happy to hear that 💚🙏🏻

@LunchBandit Год назад

I have a Mk1 analog heat and Korg Kaoss Pad Quad. I was considering the upgrade but my set up is better and cheaper (when buying used) because I can do exactly what you said, I can get crazy and funky, and then basically undo it all to go back to the original sound. Only negative is that I have 2 boxes instead of 1. I would consider upgrading if the FX had been a little fancier instead of plain digital FX. I'd love something like the analog heat with a microcosm combined into one to get some really delicious sounding textures.

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Yeah that was also my idea and in my head I always compared it to my Microcosm. But as I already have this as a sound design box, the +FX right now isn't on top of my list.

@hexwavemusic Год назад

Good rundown and interview! I feel similar about the Heat+FX, looks like a great unit and I would love to have one really, but I kind of struggle to think of proper use case in most scenarios. A quick load would be a great addition as you say! Especially as they have marketed it as "no longer set and forget, but stay and play", if they want you to be "playing" with the parameters, it's kind of hard without being able to return to a "safe" place.

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Yeah 100% agree on that, same issues I have still with it. But the good news is that they are very open to user feedback with this device. Over the days I talked to a couple of people from Elektron and they were all asking immediately for feedback and taking it very seriously. Also which new digital modules in the device users would like to see next, which is nice. So to me it seemed a little like "We will bring this to the market to test how our users react and what they want to further see on it and then work on that". It has great potential but it isn't fully unleashed I think.

@jamesglewmusic Год назад

I have the 100% use case. It's not for everyone by any means. I've ordered one.

@MarcoGualtieri Год назад

extremely good suggestions by the interviewer.

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Thanks for the feedback Marco!

@olivierdoleuze Год назад

Thanks Miles for all the sharing.! It's always nice to see new Elektron stuff, but I agree that this kind of device will be hard to place in my setup! I will go for a Simple Analog Heat just to get a warmer sound! I will not sure what to do with the extra reverb and delay at the end of the signal !

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Thanks Olivier! And yeah agree, that was exactly my thought too. With something like "func + no" I'd get it because then you could easily use the verb and delay for nice transitions and go wild on your signal before going back to a safe state but like it is now I would be a little affraid to do so.

@vagueversatile Год назад

Excellent! 10:00 I agree with your explanation regarding hybrid setup except that you can’t duplicate the analog engine within Ableton.

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Thank you! And yeah very good point, that is of course true. :)

@vagueversatile Год назад

@@MilesKvndra also, most of time, I find that there is much less latency outside of Ableton. I am also using a hybrid setup with Ableton being my main tool but I love to tweak and experiment out of it

@MilesKvndra Год назад

@@vagueversatile yeah see that. However, since I moved all the sequencing capabilities from the Elektrons to Ableton, the latency is gone for me. Of course you loose the great Elektron sequencer but tbh the Ableton one is also pretty cool with the new probability options

@vagueversatile Год назад

@@MilesKvndra nice! you don’t want to swap your Elektron boxes for synths then?

@MilesKvndra Год назад

@@vagueversatile I’m my recent setups I already excluded the Digitakt to keep it more compact and move some of the sampling into Ableton. But still using the Takt standalone and will definitely keep the Digitone :)

@Gruftgrabbler Год назад

Thanks Miles for the Interview! I would love to see another stereo input on the heat + fx and (hold your legs) a crossfader! A Scenario I have in mind: Use a stereo pair of the unit for a Digitakt/Digitone/Syntakt Chain. Use the other inputs in a Mono Mode for 2 more Instrument Inputs. Maybe a Bassline or Analog Lead Synth, Apply the FX, use some EQ, Compression and glue everything together with the analog warming unit of the heat. And then you can perform the FX during breakdowns or transitions with the Knobs and the Crossfader THAT just in 1 Box would literally make this device the most powerful Mixer in the world

@Digiphex Год назад

But to be a product on the market, it has to be full of flaws and holes, only marginally useable at all so it seems, with thousands, if not tens of thousands of people on forums asking for exactly the same few basic and obvious features. I just don't get the whole thing of manufacturing. I must be missing something.

@MilesKvndra Год назад

That’s actually a really nice concept Gruftgrabbler. I would also rather have a performance mixer built in to do a little more performance wise. Also sad that the unit doesn’t have a sequencer.

@Gruftgrabbler Год назад

@@MilesKvndra oh yeah and a sequencer! I think that would fit wonderful into the Elektron repertoire. The Octatrack (which is for me a bit outdated) would still be the Octatrack. Doing what it is the best. A great performance sampler The heat could then add more spatial fx and provide compression, and saturation. Yeah but now it’s too late and we would need of cause for years for an eventually heat + fx mk2

@MontanaProducciones Год назад

The Octatrack with EZBOT’s template is very close to what describe. Maybe a larger form factor and no real distortion and saturation, but you get everything else without even having to properly learn the device. 😊

@asynchronicity Год назад

It seems that it would be fairly trivial to add more LFOs (and envelopes) Let's hope they do 💪

@MilesKvndra Год назад

I really hope they add more depth to this machine in general. Although I have to say 3 LFOs with 2 destinations each is already pretty nice!

@asynchronicity Год назад

@@MilesKvndra True. My multiple LFO and looping envelope dreams are more grandiose than average, admittedly 🫠👍

@MilesKvndra Год назад

@@asynchronicity I like that! Keep on dreaming and never stop hoping 😁

@dirkkeersmaekers4343 Год назад

With an osmose, yeh

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Hey dirk, don't quite get the comment - what are you referring to?

@gettingthingsdone Год назад

i love the heat... but the price tag scares me.... nearly every elektron box is 1k+

@profitsandloss Год назад

Yup, but also, the Digitakt is an “old” device, but still gets massive updates. So the boxes keep getting better every year. They’re built like tanks too.

@gettingthingsdone Год назад

@@profitsandloss yeah they got me twice... with 2 digitones.. :) but since they increased the prices so massive.... i am little bit frustrated :D the last time i've bought an elektron device it was 650 and now the same device is 950.

@MilesKvndra Год назад

Yeah it’s crazy to see all the prices go up, have witnessed that too. Probably due to higher material costs, I’ve seen that with other companies too. Still a crazy jump. On the +FX side Elektron mentioned to me that they are already planning new modules via future firmware updates - so let’s see how the machine further evolves

@profitsandloss Год назад

@@MilesKvndra This is exactly why I love and support companies like Elektron and more recently Arturia. The upcoming Microfreak update is wild! The 1.5 Digitakt update was also amazing. As much as I love the sound of Moog, it took them YEARS to fix a simple bug on the subharmonicon.

@MilesKvndra Год назад

@@profitsandloss yeah agree. I’m just in love with the Moog sound, it just feels and totally resonates with me. 🥲

@internalreality Год назад

lmao @ that unit. elektron is getting creatively bankrupt

@MilesKvndra Год назад

That’s a little harsh I think, the Syntakt is a cool device. But yeah still not 100% convinced by the +FX - although the modulation is quite deep I will wait for more models to come via future firmware updates.
