Yeah I understand this post. I too just used the DT and DN then along came the SY and found myself just using that on my lap for months then I found I struggled to bring the DT and DN back into play as it just slowed things down.
What I tend to do now is the SY is centre to everything that I’ll use DN to add pads and chords (still don’t use the SY chord machine as I can’t find any use for it, kills my live recording only work flow…probably only reason the DN survives…). Otherwise I’ll use the SY with the DT for more live drum kit sample sounds.
In summary, yep the SY is awesome.
