I know OT is perfectly capable as a drum machine, but I find DT indispensable for building patterns from one shots. I know OT can do it, but I just find it more capable with phrase samples, usually I’m sampling full patterns into the OT for further analysis and chopping.
Yes… I could resample oneshot patterns on the OT… but that’s a pain imho.
…upshot is I don’t think of OT as a replacement for DT. And I think a lot of Syntakt users are finding that it makes good food for both DT and OT. So that’s my take - I would keep both and feed them one shots and phrases respectively!! But I’m not getting an ST, so - grain of salt…
