Do any of you guys also have experience with the op-1 for doing hiphop? How would it compare to the DT? I have the opportunity to get one for relatively cheap.
I love the DT and would change anything about it except for maybe adding battery power and a slicing function, both of which the op-1 seems to haveā¦ are there any downsides?

I would like to know which one people seem to preferā¦ Iām torn between them too. Iām a bit leaning towards the OP-1. I feel it sounds really unique and nothing out there, vst or hardware, that sounds like it. The Digiton IS special, but I feel it doesnāt sound too different than other synths, it appeals to me as a good Digitakt companion.

As someone who sold an OP-1 for a Digitakt, I much prefer the DT. I mainly make Lo-Fi hip hop and chill ambient pop.
Personally, I could never get along with the tape function of the OP-1. It was nice to sketch out ideas, but it was impossible to put anything resembling a live set together. I realised that I much prefer Elektron sequencers and the live flexibility that they allow.
The DT doesnāt have slicing, thatās true. But it still gives you a fair amount of control over the samples.
The Digitakt recently got a compressor too, which IMO is far superior to the OP-1s.
I would personally recommend a Digitakt and Digitone over an OP-1. As a combo, theyāre pretty much unbeatable.

OP-1 as a one stop lofi beats prod/live machine, all day. I got the DT as well and liked it but I found the workflow to be complicated in comparison with the op-1 which always fun. Also not being able to tap slices on pads per track on the DT isnāt great. I appreciate there are ways around it but it got the better of me, coming from a MPC background.
Also the OP portability (battery + size) kicks everyoneās ass out the window.
As for livesets, I organise my op-1 produced loops on ableton live (mostly levels and space management to cram as many beats as possible) and end up with about 25-30 looped beats on the tape.
I find the tape absolutely amazing for live tricks, the more you use it the more they come.
Anyway, for the sampled beats I make, the op-1 is perfect.

Thanks for this great replyā¦ iāll probably end up with one soon, as the idea of having a truly portable beatmaking machine is just awesome. I also used an mpc 1000 for years, and expected i would miss using the pads to play sample chops, but so far the dt is my favourite piece of gear ever. The control over details in terms of envelopes, filter and microtiming are so immediate and usefull that the dt to me is the most usefull sampler ever. If i get an op-1, it will not be at the expense of my dtā¦ :D. As you own both: how are they working together? Or do you mainly use them on seperate occasions?
