Next hardware release?

if they intend to introduce an S8 replacement, should I sell my S8 now while it still has some value?

My hope is that any new ecosystem would have full compatibility with current controllers. They might be overkill with their prior conceptualization, but that can be ignored.

Welcome to the forum.

Just so you know, nobody can accurately answer that question for you.

I wouldn't be making any decisions based on this thread as everything is conjecture. 👍️

I guess, S8 would not loose much value just because new model would be introduced. S8 is pretty old model, so the secondhand price is already adjusted accordingly...

And sometimes it happens that legacy HW increases its value in time. If there is not good replacement.... For example Maschine Jam. Or Eclipse harmonizer by Eventide.
