Never got them, even back in Atari ST days. Nothing personal, same as with DAWs I get and those I don’t.
I think trackers are the way forward for anyone who wants a portable device with daw power in the future. The tracker can take less cpu to run while still being exceptionally powerful.
Just my opinion but I won’t be surprised to see a 16 -24 channel tracker soon that has immense sampling capabilities and effects.
In other words I believe it will be easier to have renoise in a handheld box compared to ableton.
For me I just use a laptop but I do love my m8.

Yes. I agree. And if you see Song Mode from the Octatrack or Syntak, they have a lot of things similar to trackers. Maybe it shouldn’t be so hard to make a machine like this for Elektron.
