Digitakt vs. Octatrack

Really? I wish I could use Octa midi sequencing so I can stop buying the dt/dn solely for midi sequencing purposes.

You don’t find that live recording in via a midi keyboard/Launchpad pro is much less organic than with the digis? I don’t like to record in quantized because it’s too robotic. On Octa, it’s either extremely quantized if you have Rec quantize on, or you can record unquantized and you have 3 static values of quantize, none of which are useful in my experience. On the digis, you can record unquantized and then manually quantize to the perfect amount between 0 and 127 or whatever it is until you have the perfect amount of natural timing

I feel like Octa either snaps to the grid or doesn’t quantize at all. And there is no undo or tweaking quantization after applying it on the ot. There’s no custom value.

It would be nice if I was doing something wrong and the Octa seq really was better. So if that’s the case, please let me know

Oh yeah, it doesn’t pad velocity either. The digis don’t pass aftertouch, which is extremely irritating

I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere here that the step resolution actually is better on the digis, but I can’t remember for certain

(Not resolution, but where the Octa places the recorded trig vs where the digis place them)
