Using multiple machines with the OT ? I would like to get the AR mk2 soon and I have the Digitone, OT and Minilogue xd. I could only sequence 8 midi tracks with the OT so I was thinking about midi sequencing the DN and Minilogue with the OT and run the AR with its own sequencer. I can live without bpm per pattern. That leaves a few midi tracks to do extra stuffs with the AR macros. What do you think ?
You should also consider the pros and cons of using the internal sequencers on your instruments instead of sequencing from the OT.
The OT or AR could still act as the master clock for all the units.

I think it’s a great idea. I sequence 8 tracks with the DT and then run everything through the OT. I also sequence monophonic synths with the OT which is very interesting and creative. So now there is another 8 midi tracks. So much to explore. 
It’s pretty weird when you are using an LFO on a synth, then use a thru track on the OT and realize you still have 3 more LFOs(!) I can’t even get into using the midi track parameters?! It just gets soo crazy like looking at a tangled mess of modular cables, only virtually (which is much neater) but now the tangled mess is in my head. 
But automating midi parameters (x8) for every midi track, then back into OT, thru trigs, automating audio tracks, live recording buffers? I mean, life is grand, ain’t it?!

I did and the conclusion was that I would prefer to use the OT sequencer for the extra LFOs and arp feature, I know it’s just 4 voices of poly but I don’t think I’d need more for now.

I totally agree, I just wish there could be more midi tracks on this beast, maybe on the mk3 ? 
I also really like the arp mode on this thing, using an LFO to create melodies with it is crazy sometimes.
