I also think you can assume that if you’re looking for straight up, good old fashioned midi sequencing, linear style, the DigiTakt won’t be for you. Elektron’s workflow becomes second nature if you adapt to it, but it’s easy to forget how far it is from proper linear sequencing, like they did it back when Grandpa was young.
If you want your tracks properly written in MIDI like from start to end, this might not be for you. I’d say that Elektron’s contribution to MIDI sequencing, is that they’ve taken their particular style of working with loop-based stuff and made it work in a context where you can warp MIDI data and structure in ways no other gear can.
But sometimes, that’s not what you want. Sometimes, you just wanna sit down and write a song from start to end, and move freely over the entire section without bothering about patterns, loop points and stuff. Then, I think you should look elsewhere.
