Agreed. I have, and use, the same effects on other devices however adding a touch of chorus or bits of very quiet delay on the master adds a little something extra. Also tons of fun full on for individual instruments (sampled into the OT!) and, as @AdamJay mentioned, my OT 8th track is now free!

Picturing it now, our dude crashed the NAMM desk and then stormed the Elektron backroom, Beastie Boysās āSabotageā was playing on the PA. YES!
Imagining what this thing could do alongside an Octatrack is kind of mind-bogglingā¦ Iāve been thinking about an Octa to go with ST/DT one day, but now Iām less sure which way to go.

I do love AH+ and the way the ā+ā is intertwined with the āFXā in the logo.
AH+ gets my vote because it is an augmented AH, after all 
ā¦ plus itās shorter

I came into the Elektron ecosystem through the Digis and am starting to think Iāll ācatch āem all.ā (DT + DN + ST). This box looks like way too much fun to pass up, but now Iāve got a routing puzzle on my hands.
Three audio sources, a few OTO boxes, and now this internally routable FX beast. Iāve been trying to figure out the best way to dedicate FX to each box.
The AHFX will almost certainly end up as a mix bus. Now I need a mixer. I really wish this box had three inputs!

Hereās a video I made while testing. Not a planned out demo however Iām sure if I hadnāt been able to test Iād be longing for any audio so perhaps this will be of use to someone.

How long have you had it? Would love to hear some of the presets youāve made.

Would be great as in a Live situation if using as a drum heater - I just wouldnāt use the FX in this case which would be a shame - as I wouldnāt want delay/verb it applied to the low end. Sure there is an FX filter which would be a work around but not the same.

I have a Boss GT for guitar. And I sold a collection of pedals to pay for this (and some old rack mount stuff). And I have an OT, which will love this.
My only thought is I wish it had a send return to plug my space echo into. Otherwise I think it has everything I want in a box and perfect integration with my other Swedish boxes.

Warble sounds amazing. But why do I have the feeling that elektron didnāt go far enough? Shimmer, pitch shifting delay, tap-delay and the alike would make it lean towards the recent trends. Seems like repacking of everything they already have. Flow is a fantastic idea and I see a lot of possibilities here. Still not a new idea.

Damnit, touch screen jazzed out and voted for something totally different. Ah well AX is now apparently a hill I will die on 
Wonder if its just the start of many software updates

It probably is. The digital fx makes it SO open ended. Elektron are really good about updates.
It would seem obvious that the OS updates would be more fx, so theyāll probably add features that are out of left field

If you canāt make a bloody shimmer reverb with whatās already there youāre not thinking hard enough.
Fair enough, thereās a fair bit of stuff it canāt do right now, but the right combinations of FX should be able to cover a lot of ground when combined thoughtfully.

It would need a proper pitch shifter. It sounds from what Iāve heard in demos like Warble might just be a 100% wet delay line with delay time mod (this can be done on Syntakt, audio-rate delay filter mod for noise, even), rather than a pitch-shifting algorithm proper.
Love the approach, but itās true one or two new fx building blocks in updates would go a long way in making additional things possible.
plenty of ways of using the delay, filter and chorus to mimic pitch shifting. Admittedly, itās not as easy without a proper pitch shifter, but you could knock together something that works well enough without too much bother.

Itās doable but involved on a Syntakt (silent delay send, then ramp the delay time by half, then delay->reverb, empty delay buffer and reset time, repeat), but it seems hard to accomplish those steps without a sequencer.
Enjoying the thought of brutal noise music getting sweetened through gallons of shimmerverb (I donāt really use it either).

im working under the assumption that most people using it will make ample use of a sequencer to control it.
otherwise yeah, its a bit static.

Do you typically re-cable things to reposition the Heat in the signal chain, or do you use a patchbay or special mixer routing for that?
Iām asking because I often find myself wanting to move the Heat from the end of the chain (master buss) to an insert or send for effecting specific instruments. Maybe a small patchbay would do the trick, but Iām curious about how others handle it (maybe thereās something better I havenāt considered).
Alternatively, a second Heat would totally solve the problem 
maybe the regular Heat on master and the +FX on an aux channel!
