General discussion

Will it be based on the HW of the MKII?

yes, E1 Mini is based on the same processing circuitry as E1 mk2. The hardware design and prototypes are finished. There is still some work on the editor to make sure that mk1, mk2, mini work properly with our preset database.

A brief overview of the Mini specs:

  • CPU/memory the same as mk2
  • 5" LCD with 800x480 resolution
  • 8 knobs (touch sensitive and with a push action)
  • 6 tactile hardware buttons
  • no touch screen
  • USB device with (Port 1, Port 2, CTRL), identical to mk2
  • USB host, identical to mk2
  • two MIDI TRS jacks, with an option to configure in software (in + out, in + in, out + out)
  • SD card accessible from outside, identical to the latest revision mk2
  • Existing presets will run on Mini, providing there will be an option to create alternative layout in the editor.
  • price 299 EUR + VAT

With the new arrangement - buttons above the display - I would have hesitated with a touch display. But Knobs with “Push Actions” sounds exactly what I was looking for.
Can’t wait to order! Thanks for the info, Martin.
