This new device seems like it might connect very well with Elektron gear. It’s basically an 8-step MIDI sequencer with some extra tricks up its sleeve (eg the warp function lets you run sequences forward, backward, ping-pong; there are 16 preset drum patterns for 4 different drums, allowing many rhythm combinations).
I recently acquired a Vermona DRM-1 and have been having fun sequencing that with the OT, but doing so ties up a lot of MIDI tracks which are then not being used to their best ability (the DRM1 is all analog so the only MIDI is responds to is note data, no CC). This seems like it might bridge the gap in an interesting way.
I got an order in the first batch, and the latest I heard is that it will be arriving by the end of this week. As is the way of things, I’m going to be out of the country until mid-next week…
