If the Takt trilogy were RPG classes, I think they’d follow the classic RPG trinity pattern.
Digitakt: Thief
Digitone: Mage
Syntakt: Warrior
Do you agree? Disagree? What would the other Elektron machines be in an RPG setting? Discuss!!

Digitakt: Human Paladin
Digitone: Elven Mage
Syntakt: Dwarven Warrior
Octatrack: Beyonder
Overbridge: DM (GM I guess depending on where you grew up)
Although I see the clock connection to running the game.

Wouldn’t Syntakt be Paladin, since it combines digital (magic) with analog (strength)?

To clarify, I think the Digitakt is a thief specifically because it steals (sampling) and uses knives (slicing).

If anything I’d say Model:Cycles fits the description of Bard that I just read which says they’re a jack of all trades. Does both synths and drums, and so charming!

Paladins are ultra religious in historical fiction, I think that’s also part of the d&d class description. Nothing about syntakt screams devout worshipper to me, maybe chaotic neutral or berserker.
I think digitakt means well, seems like a true believer to me. Ultra hard worker is my foundation for that.

Yes but if you press one button on the back of their armor, or the wrong two-button combination on the front of their armor, their memory is completely erased.
Or roll wrong? I don’t know… I probably should have, but I’ve never played D&D.

Analog Heat is the Cleric. Pretty high level, it can resurrect a long dead mix.

Octatrack would be the Assassin.
Digitakt the Thief.
Digitone the Mage, brilliant tones from the energy lying in simple waveforms.
Syntakt would be a mixed class indeed. I’d go for Battlemage.
Analog Rytm would be the Warrior. Doesn’t mind stealing a bit.
Machinedrum could be an ancient Paladin.
I’d see the Analog 4 as a Sorcerer. Can go in Mage territory, but darker, and closer to the roots…
As for the Monomachine… Definitely the Chaman, even capable of making you hear voices.
