I also like them, and own a couple (but not the Digitakt, Digitone or the Model:Cycles), this box will fit nicely in the rest of my setup as a combined Digitakt/Digitone. Will pick up my Syntakt on Monday and can't wait to pair it with the Octatrack and Heat!

AFAIK, you can achieve polyphony the same way you can achieve it on the rest of Elektron machines, by manually doing it with multiple machines. I agree it'd be nice to have it out-of-the-box, but personally it's good enough for me.
