I find everything I make on the MC-707 sounds like 90s techno. Not a bad thing if that’s what I’m after, but the Syntakt is great for more modern techno.

in my opinion…if you use single cycle waves on the digitakt you can come close to the synth-possibilities of the syntakt (of course, there are excepts…). + you can use “real” samples…
“God” is everywhere, and therefore uses some form of surround sampling.

If the supreme court uses Digitakts that seems like a great reason to use smth else ^^

Agreed.
Nope, God converts them to mono first

Oops. You’re absolutely right : it’s a monotheist normal procedure…

haven’t used a Syntakt, but Digitakt is probably the most addictive, fun machine I’ve ever used.

I returned my Syntakt because I thought it sounded too much like retro Blade Runner.
Although, it’s not so much the gear that makes a user sound a specific way. Maybe your music just sounds like 90s techno?
My very first groove box and totally regret selling it. I tried the new Electribe sampler (twice) and it just didn’t replicate the experience.
Syntakt is even more so IMO! Amazing box. I do prefer synthesis to sampling though (although a simple sampler on the Syntakt would make it perfect!)

But you seem to prefer much newer synths like MB33 no ?
(I bought one since we talked about it, I may prefer my X0X heart. but it requires cv/gate)

I did really like the MB-33’s, but the encoders went so I sold them for parts. I currently have a TD-3, MO, TB-03 and T-8. Space is an issue now days though so the T-8 has become my go to for acid

i really dont get it. i could not care less about what a synth manufacturer has intended with their synth or how the demos and presets sound.
i only care about the sounds i want, and how high the obstacles are to get them.
on the syntakt, the obstacles are comparatively low.

but anyway! since i am about to go into the elektron trap and plan on getting a digitakt to pair with my syntakt, i wonder the following:
is it possible to have lfo -> sample slot in a specific range so i can have automatic round robin (of, lets say i recorded 5 strong hits on an acoustic snare)?

let’s face it - does any one here actually hand on heart, 
the sound of the Syntakt?
This forum has many many examples of the DT sounding amazing with the right sample and the compressor. The Syntakt maybe only a couple of decent sounding examples to date - IMHO of course

No round robin because you don’t have any increment function, but you can assign a random lfo to sample slots, works perfectly.
@Jeanne Did you considered the Octatrack ? (Even MKI)
I think it would suits you better…

Have you heard about sound synthesis?
