Hi to all.
I already have a Digitakt and I love it to death.I combine it with a Roland JP8080 which is my poly synth and I love it too.Great for leads/pads and “air” type of sounds.The outcome they produce is great and with the Roland beign a dual timber synth I end up with 10 tracks in total.
Still I feel like I want some more tracks to work with in times.I was thinking of the MS because currently my budget can’t afford much else.
I can’t find people that use that combo and maybe it does not make much sense in using basically 2 samples,but the thing is that I play a lot with vocals and “sounds” in general so the MS seems like it could fit the picture.
My concern is the sequence between these 3 machines.MS does not have a thru,neither the Roland.
Right now I send MIDI from the DT to the Roland and use all 8 MIDI cc and program changes to control it.It works great and I wouldn’t like to change that.
I also use the DT inputs with Overbridge and capture it with the standalone app.I have LogicX but I use it just for mixing the 2 stems from the machines,plus a slight mastering.I love recording while performing.It would be great if MS could stick in between.
I would like it if I could control the MS with the remaining 6 MIDI tracks and a similar way.I guess I lose the MS sequencing abilities in this way but I have all control on a single machine.Maybe it’s better to use the MS sequencer and just send transport from the Digitakt?
I would love your input.Hope you are all well and safe.
