So, I had had my DT for about 2,5 months and as much as i love it, I really want to be able to mess around with live sampling, also slicing is something i really miss on DT. And recent OT community activity has inspired me to get one.
Question is should I keep my DT? Anyone using them as combo?
I would try both for a bit. I found the DT easier to get lead/bass sounds out of a sample vs OT (for example) so both together would be a riot.
I have both - they serve such different purposes it is hard to get rid of the DT, particularly if you travel a bit and like to have a compact sampler sequencer box.
If you are an OT performer your DT makes a great companion of samples of any other instrument you could possibly think of.
I don’t have a DT but a DN and an SP16 + the OT and find that having more than one sequencer running is very interesting. It adds a lot of flexibility and fluidity to live performances. Not to speak of happy accidents.
It depends on everyone but I would sell. They are both cool and they both could serve different purposes but you could expand your setup much more by selling the DT and keeping an OT.
Id say just try it for a few weeks and decide yourself. They compliment each other well but there are many other things you could get at that price which would compliment an OT much better.
I had a DT for maybe 4-6 months when I got my OT. They worked well together, but the better I learned my OT, the less I used my DT. After a few months I sold it to help fund an A4. Maybe I’ll regret it one day, but not so far as I’m loving the OT/A4 combo.
I have an A4, DT, and OT. I use the DT as drum sampler and the OT for melodic and harmonic content. great combination.
I have both, love them both, they are different animals, i would not sell one nor the other…
Since you already have the DT to me it would make sense to at least hang onto it until you explore the OT for a few weeks and decide after that… The OT is fine solo but also even though the combo might seem redundant there’s a lot of stuff you could do with the two, but perhaps you might prefer a box that’s more different to pair it with. There’s no right answer, I’d just keep it for a bit after you get the OT and at some point you’ll realize you’d either be sad to let it go at you don’t really need it… Let your feelings decide…
I guess, I’ll keep DT for now and see where OT takes me. Just figured OB alone is worth the DT since I don’t have any other audio interface.
I think it also depends on your workflow- for me the pair would be really valuable for live performance as well as writing. If nothing else that’s another fat bank of samples to fire off. I end up doing a lot of sample based work on my RYTM even though I have an OT.
Maybe that’s your answer then? 
A large chunk of us here don’t use OB, a large chunk do, its up to each user if that’s the workflow they would like to use. I imagine most of us have audio interfaces so I don’t know if that would be part of our decision but for those that don’t it certainly would be a large factor to consider…
If you are travelling extremely light then maybe …
Traveling faster? Ask for a jump.
Is that DaveMech? 
Yeah, @DaveMech wants us to believe he only uses DT and DN but he’s definitely using OT while traveling.
Stolen picture.
Darn, they caught me. That was supposed to be an undercover operation.
So update after having OT for 2 weeks.
Most of time i have spent tangled in Octatrack, but somehow i managed to have a go with both - OT and DT. And i feel that this is great combo. It’s like having extra 8 static tracks with separate memory and fx, this frees up OT to do its thing.
Will update after I’ll have spent more time with combo if OT lets me.
