I’ve used the LXR. It isn’t for me.
Sound wise I prefer the Nord Drum 2, and control wise… well there is a reason the Drumatix is my favorite drum machine ever.
I considered the launch control XL, what I prefer about the twister is the high level of customization, color coding, push to reset, center detent, and dual CC# features that it crams into the tiny footprint.
I fink I’ve just reached OT level 2. really starting to enjoy creating with it and all its flexibility now rather than that classic feeling of overwhelming options
I always wonder just how awesome and fun an Octatrack would be to play with. Never actually had a sampler, only my Machinedrum UW sampling which is fairly basic. Maybe one day…
I like the comparison of the OT with Excel: you have to configure templates and formulas that work for you and familiarize yourself with them. The comparison ends there and sonic fun and adventures begin!
