You are the Patrick Bateman of the thread!
Like it, what does your business card look like!
i’m also hoping to be given the User Option (in a future OS) to change the colours, like on the original Amiga 1000.
These 3 definitely have a family resemblance (pad ethos)

Digitakt is a little unique - I see what you mean about the computer aesthetics, personally i like it.
It almost a more scientific approach.
Yeh DT looks great against those (Push a very close 2nd tho, even with the lit pads Think I’d just prefer it to have a little less of the ‘keyboard computer’ vibe and a bit more character. I dig minimal, apple style etc on phones/laptops. But it’s nice for an instrument to feel/look like an instrument. That’s always risky tho as mentioned above - Aira
DT seems like possibly the ‘safest’ way to design a box. Not going to offend anyone… And yeah the little touches like the lights fading etc are great. Guessing that in the flesh it’s going to look/feel very premium.
I love the design n interface of DT. gives me the feels something fierce
hehe it is and all
Somebody once said on this forum that working with the OT is like making music on a scientific calculator…
I still remember because they were sort of right…
it’s difficult to surpass the trusty Casio calculator with functions, for sheer fun factor.
actually very keen to view Rusty’s octatrack editing software in action … i don’t mind the file system although would actually prefer to arrange sets via computer … then play and further tweak on the OT, in a hypothetical scenario of reinvesting in an OT again.
i would also need to retrofit the octatrack with a purple screen/white text…
and the golden faceplate mod. the awesomeness would be too great not to achieve.
Don’t want to derail the thread too far but yes, as soon as I start making more than rent+food I’m in on Octaedit!
Motty, don’t worry about me I’m a neither… Just hanging out in the bleachers…
Carry on chaps I’m sure I can wheedle out the new scores in the morning.
You handsome man, you.
Sporting the classic DT-100-s in almost matching "Motty"sheepskin beige.
Respect!
Indeed - the super comfy ear pads more than make up for the lacklustre bass response.
Fifty years of rockin’ da Coles lip M I C must chaff awfully though Motty?
Comfy ears do not a attractive Labia Oris make.
Push 2 is nice, have you seen the tear down video by Marcus Fuller? a very Svelte design
Well, I suppose I have to point out that Casio already made a calculator into a synth. I own one, the Casio VL-1. I can’t say it’s fun to use, because it actually IS a calculator. They just added a synthesis engine to the calculator, so you have to control some of the functions via calculator commands. I’d rather give a hippopotamus an enema than try to write a whole album on my VL-1, but it’s a relic so I keep it.
We still have time though, Elektron might have a calculator right around the corner. All they have to do is use the Digitakt as a jumping-off point and do what Elektron does best: take away critical features so we have to buy their Elektron TI-86 next year to fill in the gaps.
I suppose someone should start a feature request thread for the Elektron Kalk.
The hippo imagery is powerful.
