Elektron-Elektron Music Machines started in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1998 with the SIDStation, a hardware MIDI synth powered by the vintage Commodore 64 computer sound chip. Since then, they have created such landmark products as Machinedrum, Monomachine, Octatrack, and the DAW-integrated Analog Series of machines. Elektron is proud to participate in ROBOTSPEAk's 2017 Synth Meet and will be demoing our newest products, Analog Heat, Digitakt, and the much anticipated Octatrack MKII. See you there!
