I think if you were to modify the pitches of all your samples when creating a beat, there would be a huge difference between the sound quality of both units.

If you have and love the OT. It’s a no brainer; the DT might be a nice addition.
But if you’re like me and want immediacy plus don’t have an OT, go DT.
However, I’ve used the OT and while it really has everything I want, it felt like I was always trying to just get started.

Ha, I didn’t even see your first comment until now I was just saying my thoughts, but it does seem like I replied to you… 
I totally agree with what your saying… and yes, the forums gone haywire, and the wire is now short circuiting! 
Doubt anyone with or without an OT will say the DT sucks. It’s pretty rad

I’m gonna return my DT. I already have an OT and appart from trig condition and overdrive, DT adds nothing to the OT for me.
if the the OT were easier to use…it would be a simple decision.

With the DT MIDI tracks, can I hook up an external controller and play through to an external sound module while recording sequence data?

The learning curve is steep but there are lots of videos on youtube.

really like the cond trigs but can’t see a reason to keep this one (ok maybe the size when travelling) when there is an OT.
I never understood the difficulty with the OT.
It’s really easy to use, the basic stuff is extremely simple.
It just does a lot of things.

well, one (last) thing to add that I find also great is to have access to the sample slots with LFO. is there a method to do so with the OT? haven’t found one yet. thanks
exactly my opinion. can’t repeat it often enough
Spot on. Reading the FM and practicing regularly helps a great deal, though.

Someone said they didn’t want to take a year to learn it.
It’s no piano that’s fer sure.
I would add that after a year though, you can be at one with the craziest sampler midi sequencing box out there.

Keep in mind also that the OT is much more flexible with the SD Card and USB for file transfert.
Sorry but the OT works w/ Compact Flash, not SD card. And you have to be really, really careful when you plug a CF card into it - the pins are quite delicate.
Love my OT, but might consider the DT as I monitor how it progresses w/ OS updates and user reports/posts. Let me clarify - I’d consider the DT as addition to my OT, not a replacement.
A tough one! Here are my thoughs as an Ex-Octatrack owner:
OCTATRACK
Unlimited track length (for backing tracks)
Scenes (come on, SCENES!!!)
Multiple inputs (replaced a mixer in my hardware-only liveset)
No Trig-Conditions (update very unlikely due to technical and / or marketing decisions
Compact Flash not supported anymore (two cards died)
DIGITAKT
OLED Display
Trig-Conditions
Easy way of recording and handling samples (from what I saw on dataline´s yt demo)
small size (yes, I don´t have space anymore and carry my stuff to gigs on my bike most of the time)
will be supported with updates in the next years
limited sample memory
extra charge for full overbridge (this is like DLC in videogames that are already on the disc but have to be paid extra to be unlocked)
mono samples
only one out / in (not sure about overbridge here)
I don´t mind the 128 Sample slots, I used 84/128 slots in my Analog Rytm and already produced and released one album, one ep and almost three hours of live sessions on youtube with it. I don´t feel a limit here.
