I am sorry I have to bring this up here for discussion
At a first glance, it’s… all I wanted from the Syntakt.
Polyphony, Chorus, Compressor, Arp, Comb filter, 3 Lfo’s… prep mutes are pretty awesome as well. + all the extra features we have in the 2 series like 128 steps and so on
Would it make sense trading the Syntakt for a Digitone 2?
What I would miss the most are probably the latest additions like BD Acoustic, SD Acoustic, and the SID machine. I see now why Elektron released those updates right before the Digitone 2.
Apart from that, it almost looks like with the Digitone 2 I can get most of what I would get with the Syntakt, plus so much more.
I’m not missing the FX block, as I mostly used it to replace a compressor, which we now have in the Digitone 2. Also, when using the FX block, it merges all tracks into one and makes Overbridge obsolete for me.
My biggest question mark is the FM drum machine. It looks very versatile, especially the transient options, but the Syntakt might be a bit more intuitive for getting percussion sounds out.
What are your thoughts? What would you miss from the Syntakt in the Digitone 2?
