one of the awesome things about the syntakt is the unique way in which the audio tracks interact with each other once they’re driven through the fx track
it’s very different from the master overdrive on dn2
this is more efficiently articulated in a video by blankfor.ms in which they create beautiful textures with a very simple pattern (don’t be discouraged that it’s for guitar center lol) :
while it’s certainly possible to produce full tracks with them, the digi boxes are best suited for performative jamming in a way that balances complexity, fun, and ease of use
with this in mind as criteria (and after having owned them all at one point), it can still be safely said that the st- with its streamlined easy-to-understand graphic parameters, very fun (and relatively bugless) ui, and almost-instant useable results- is still the apotheosis of the digi line
