In my observational only experience, I don’t see a ton of crossover between Elektron and Akai crowds. Not that there isn’t plenty of that of course. I just think people “generally” are on one side or the other or both. The people using these tools tend to know what they like, or where they started. I’m not sure it’s a matter of getting one to cross over to the other.
I’m sure there are those that say, use an MPC One to control everything, and then have subordinate Elektrons for example.
Might also be cool to have an Octa running the show, and some older rack mount Akais on sample duty for the audio aesthetic.
I don’t believe I’ve seen this config thus far.
I’m thinking Octa controlled Future Sound of London
Anyway just pontificating….
