Available from Gear4Music at £956.00 ($1,214).

The Elektron Syntakt Drum Machine and Synthesizer combines the best of both worlds unifying the power and grit of analog components with the innovation and flexibility of a digital synthesis engine. Syntakt sets a new precedent for drum synthesis and live performance providing 12 tracks for sound design and sequencing. Borrowing elements from previous Elektron releases the Syntakt features all the tools you need to craft the sound you want. Jam-packed with filters effects and even analog distortion Syntakt is the ultimate creation station for musicians. Endless percussive possibilities await you with sounds taken from over 35 analog and digital machines to make the ultimate portable drum computer. One of the most unique features of the Syntakt are the four expressive modifiers which you can use to play sounds/sequences with varying parameters such as velocity retrig and more. It also comes equipped with Elektrons iconic 64-step sequencer - perfect for crafting dynamic soundscapes and arrangements. Navigate parameters and settings using the crisp OLED display complete with stylish graphics that provide visual feedback for various modifiers and settings. Composition is made easy thanks to the variety of scales on offer via keyboard mode. You can also add texture to your sounds using the onboard delay and reverb effects. Choose between analog and digital drum tracks or combine them to create something unique to you. The layout of the Syntakt is intuitive and ergonomic with clearly labeled backlit buttons complete with precision encoders and a range of connection options available.
