Elektron has released a firmware update for its Syntakt groovebox, and it’s not one that users will want to miss. Not only does the 1.30 OS add four new sound-generating ‘Machines’, but also adds some cool new sequencing tricks and welcome quality of life improvements.
Elektron’s Syntakt was the third arrival in the Swedish brand’s range of hardware grooveboxes that started with the Digitakt sampler and Digitone synth. Unlike those two digital machines, Syntakt combines analogue and digital sound generation, primarily focused on percussive sounds but also capable of producing basslines, chord stabs and synth melodies.
