Electra 1/2 - suggestion for a smaller, perhaps updated version

The name Mini might imply that this controller is a “cheaper” sibling of the OG Electra One. The price tag might suggest that as well. But for me and Zdenek, this project was really about three key things:

  • reflecting on user feedback
  • bringing the price down
  • celebrating the 6th anniversary of the Electra One project (yes - as some of you know, on December 31st it will be six years since the first serious batch of Electra One units shipped)

We are extremely happy with the result. The device feels right. Even though it is smaller, there is actually more room for your fingers, MIDI latency is extremely low, graphics are snappy, interactions intuitive. We also aimed to make the hardware feature-packed and beautiful - after all, this is a celebration of our sixth year of production :slight_smile: all Minis comewith an anodized aluminum / mahogany finish, an integrated VESA 50/75 mount poins, and an angled stand.

Shipments start on December 29th. Happy holidays to the entire community, and thank you for your support, patience, feedback, and ideas!

and the flashback to 2019…

Love the VESA mount ! I happened to have a Poly 800 I planned to adapt to fit such mount, because its keyboard is not really good and it takes a lot of real estate. But in the end it was swapped for a smaller EX-800, so the VESA stand is idle now waiting for something new to crop up. And here it is now!

Happy holidays Martin and Zdenek

It looks great. I’m going to pair it with a battery pack and use it as a portable editor. Well done!
