Hi Everyone,
I am about to get a Digitakt or mayyybbe an Octatrack.
Before I do I have some simple questions because I can get a new Digitakt for 730ish new or a used MKI Octa for around 875, not too much of a difference but still very expensive.
1a. Do you think Digitakt will ever have more than 8 sample spots? Wish they would have 16 instead of 8 for Midi, 8 for sampling. Do you find this limiting or is the parameter changes you can apply to the pads enough.
1b. Does the Octatrack only have 8 samples running at a time as well?
I am leaning towards a digitakt as this is my first Elektron piece and it’s cheaper, but if the Octatrack can have more samples playing, that’s big. I’ve been using random stuff and mostly a Roland SP-555 for sampling and workflow.
Either way stoked to get one of these. Been seeing my favorite bands using them now for awhile (Animal Collective, MGMT, Radiohead etc…) and my SP-555 is super limiting.
