I guess the sampling has a more lofi quality on rytm… I haven’t used the rytm but some users who have both discuss it here Samples on Rytm compared to Digitakt seems like the quality on digitakt sampling is a easily noticed quality improvement.
Yea having an arp would be killer. As of now I still have to plug in my keystep for a quick arp, which I would rather just leave to happen internal to the digitakt. Maybe we will see the midi lfos opened up to work more freely in the digitakt with out routing midi back into itself. I won’t hold my breath for that feature though. all things considered digitakt makes me a happy camper… the highest quality sample sounds from elektron maybe unsurprisingly come out of the most recent sampler. Not to knock the rytm though that more gritty sample sound is very sought after too!
