Hello there!
I’m having a blast with a Digitakt, but having only 8 voices limits me too much when I’m actually trying to make full tracks on it.
I love sketching on Digitakt, it’s a very creative process. But I’m forced to multitrack it to Ableton to actually finish it. And I don’t enjoy working “inside the box” at all - I’d prefer to only mix and master in it, not actually producing there.
Now I know that we’re probably never gonna see 16-voices Digitakt MKII unfortunately, even though Elektron kinda agrees that 8 voices are an issue - I’m looking at 12-voiced Syntakt.
So I think about trying out MPC One or MPC Live. Or maybe adding a Syntakt to my setup - but using two boxes is not as straightforward and smooth as only using one.
Is it worth it? As far as I understand, it’s not so immediate and “fun” as Elektron products, but then again, I can finish my tracks there… so that’s a plus.
Any opinions from people who have tried both?
Thanks
