Cool! I see that they are hiring one software position at the moment [1], a Rust audio developer. Cool that they're using Rust, I wonder if that implies that they have ported earlier embedded code over, so at least their new products are based on Rust.
I didn't see a breakdown of what's inside this new product, that is always very interesting to me, the collapsing of all those cool UI features and (virtual) audio-generating "machines" down onto actual CPU/FPGA resources. Also makes me wonder if they can source whatever chips they need, now seems like a sad and annoying time to release new hardware products. :(
By the way, if it's not obvious, "Syntakt" is an amalgamation of "synth" as in synthesizer, and "takt" which is the Swedish word for "beat" (and/or "rythm", I guess) in the musical sense. So it makes sense for a combined synth and drum machine, I guess.
