Is a keys version of DN2 likely to happen? I think if there was ever a time to want the Keys version, this would be it for me!
In the past keys versions have had additional physical outputs and other fun stuff tacked on. Heres hoping!!!
How soon after launch of the original were the mnm keys, analog keys and digitone keys available?
The MnM keys (SFX-6) was released a year before the desktop (SFX-60).
The Digitone Keys roughly a year after the desktop.
Donāt know about the A4ā¦
The keyboard versions so far donāt seem to be top sellers, but rather quirky (and fun) oddballs.
I have no idea what Elektron plan to do with the DN2, but my gut feeling says there wonāt be a DN2 Keys.
Oh interesting about mnm being keys first then desktop later.
I can wait a year to see if DN2K happens or not, i think with 16 tracks that can be midi tracks it would make a killer master studio keyboard.
I would love a DNIIK in AK format (Keygitone?), with at least 2, or better 3 stereo outs and some additional controls + enhanced MIDI with retrigs and arp.
DNII definitely needs a proper keyboard.
Make it 2kā¬, I donāt care, Iāll buy it.
Yeah I think this is a case Iād pay above the odds too. Agreed on AK format and as many outputs as possibleā¦. Generally additional features/shortcuts to make up for the extra studio realestate would be very very welcome
as for what to call it. Yeah I like KEYGITONE. But itd have to be shortened to DIIK right?
Dnk2 would probably be really fun with a keyboard, more knobs and multimap, i wounder how theyd tackle the multi output dilemma, 16 stereo outs would make it a ridiculous size unless they did mini trs, maybe assignable output busses?
Iād love 16 outputs BUT i think 4(or moreā¦ one can dream) stereo outs which you could assign tracks to would be good, (drums, pads, stuff, misc(?))
MD had multiple outs that could be assigned, I think this would be the way to go for the Keygitone.
D-sub connectors! Would need just 4 then.
They never made an analog keys mkII. They also didnāt make a keyboard version of the monomachine after they updated the ādesktopā version twice. So if precedent has been set, then no digitone keys mkII. But who knows if precedent matters
Given they made a DNK, I donāt follow your logic. That said, my illogical gut tells me they wont make a DNIIK.
But, @Elektron, I would almost certainly buy one if yiu did make them.
I hope that DNII being a II rather than a mk2 will mean they do make a keys version.
If its a year after I reckon the bugs will be pretty well squashed by the time they do a Keys so thats probably a good thing for me and my complete lack of patience!
Never in the history of Elektron a synth was that ready for keys.
#KeysTonePlease
A couple of changes vs. Analog/Digitone Keys and it would be a hit: 49 keys, sustain pedal in, multiple ins/outs, midi arp, LEDs above keys, redesigned real estate above keys (so that itās compact and ergonomical vs. just being a Digitone with a tacked on keyboard)!
61 keys please. With keyboard split 
61 keys would definitely make it the flagship weāve all been waiting for @LyingDalai
Yeah I think if they give a keyboard another try, they should probably go all in and try to win over keys players who donāt typically buy Elektrons. Give it more keys, assignable outputs and some more (performance!) controls. Donāt know if theyād buy it, but their previous keyboard versions seemed to be too niche/āspecialā for your average keys player. And us synth and drum machine heads usually prefer the module. Maybe with DN II they have a shot at winning over more of the gigging keys player audience than before? Market it as a preset machine that offers nice VA sounds as well as classic FM bells and whistles (pun intended). And can play some accompanying drum beats as a bonus.
they shouldāve never dropped the AK chassis and therefore it would be awesome if they release a DNK and Analog keys MK2 in parallel within that form factor š«”
like Behringer does with the hinged cases, re use, itās ok idk 
It really must have poly aftertouchā¦
FTFY
Surely there will be a Digitone II Keys rightā¦ Right!?
I know they wonāt do it but throw on 2 tracks of Sampling and My God what a machine THAT would be.
Preferably it would not be of the elongated cheese board design I think more more in line with How Analog Keys was in size and form factor etcā¦ but either way I would buy a Keys version in a Heartbeat.
I wait patiently.
