I’m genuinely curious: why do you want more sample slots?
I don’t need lot more but something like 256 would be cool for me. I’m usually a bit frustrated with 128 drums samples… it’s very quickly full if you want kicks, percussions, fx… Anyway I think it’ll be possible to add like 10 samples shots on the same sample slot and than pick each one with the sample start point (it’s like having 128 slots of xx samples).
In theory, if you use sample chains and start/end, you can have 120x128 different samples (sounds) , which seems enough to me.
Exactly what I was explaining… totally agree.
K HD ddddddddddddddss128 samples is plenty, but to have more slots ready to be loaded allows for better organisation structures, especially in cases when one is unshure of what samples one wants to use.
I for example was often unshure about if i want noise 1324 or noise 1325 or 1326, etc. 
so i used to load many samples of one family into slots when really just one sample was needed
i worked in the OT the way that i, to make a example, have placed weird noises from slot 80 on, even more weird samples from slot 100 one etc.
working this way, can you load samples project by project the same way.
Much easier to know what kind of samples have been loaded into the slots.
Its a good way to keep an overview while things get chaotic
256 slots would be very welcome ! even if you just could have 128 slots “active”. then add a “Tag” function: sample slot: active/passive
more slots, better organisation possibilitys
An interesting way to quickly slice / set a series of markers for a given windowed portion of a longer sample:

Seems quick & intuitive, though not sure if it fits into the ‘Elektron-Way’.

I’m looking forward to making my own resample chains inside the machine. You could use sample lock to program 64 different sounds. Hit play and resample. Then unload those 64 from the RAM.

20 days left! Man, those preloaded samples are quite promising. Was thinking about ditching my sample library a few days a go and start clean with the digitakt as my sampler.
Perfect time to do some householding
I’ll be emptying that DT, page 1.

Yeah me too, but i’ll keep them aside though and browse through them to keep what is what. But emtpy reset for sure.
My sample library is still from when i first started out aka thousand of samples that I could do without. I selected some w while back, but with a sampler at home i could easily delete all I think.
Start fresh!

I may keep the acoustic drum kits though🙅

Same for me, if/when I get a DT. First thing I did with my OT was reformat the CF card to start fresh with samples of my choosing and own creation.

I’ve only loaded two samples to OT and none to Rytm in 2 1/2 years. All my samples get recorded after turning on OT and disappear when I power off. Once this sample transfer app gets loose I might get the nerve to load something to Rytm…

Whaaaaat?? You dont save any samples in projects? What’s your workflow on OT? Like pickup/live Rec stuff?
Only thing is 64mb is limit on this…wish they would up that on future boxes as well.
More slots and more ram would make elektron

I used to save them but I find they just pile up by the hundreds and I never look at them again. I’m all live looping so samples are usually from Rytm, keys, guitar, theremin, and vocals. Usually four pickup machines, three flex remix, and master track to start with, but various parts/patterns with tricks to switch to. I warp things up a lot once they are in there but for every song I start sampling over again, using various ways of breakdown or transition so the music doesn’t stop. I’m coming from being lead guitar in jam bands back in the day where we’d often perform 20min or so jams. I’m mostly improv but there’s underlying structure and I try to make the improv more so it feels like a track with hooks and motifs…

I’m absolutely thrilled by the analog side!

I’m liking/using @Open_Mike’s ethereal workflow - probably the guitar background in common, I prefer to do stuff in the moment, doing anything a second time renders it dead … keep it in the moment, the whole samples in samples out thing is buzzkill - sure a regular chain of straight 808 hits is all good to load up
this is why I don’t find the need to dig around with samples so much … I’m 100% tuned into the sound of the AR engines, samples are useful for non drum/synth stuff
I guess it’s why I’m not so into the DT despite being envious of its admirable workflow enhancements
I get headaches reading about folk aspiring to load a gig of samples and hankering after 256x120 samples and so on - may as well be a daw by that storage - I think fewer options liberate the good stuff, endless options are a pain in my book … thus the monotribe love (plus stunning sound)
DT seems like a bit of gear that gets closer to the elements with less of the clutter, that’s why I think they’re onto a winner
