Digitakt + OT seems to become what can be called a Dream Team 
Sample on both, let one do the Drums (DT) and the other one the more complex stuff (OT). In fact, you might not even need any other machine anymore - if you can live with Samples. The more i think about that the more i want this damn machine - NOW!

Fwiw ā¦ You can Latch Fills on the current boxes anyway, from which youād expect the functionality to be derived where possible

Oh great, thanks. Iām just starting to program more fills and that will come in very usefulā¦

Any word about the ādigital and highly flexible sound engineā on the Digitakt? Iām especially curious if it will include FM synthesis.

Iām really considering replacing my OT with this + MPC [TBT] on the surface it seems like sampling perfection(all thatās missing are the range of FX) the Elektron method seems better suited for short sounds, right? The MPC touch screen looks like a optimal method for dealing and modifying longer samples. If you need something Elektrified just send some outs to the DT inputs live sample it and modify. Send back to the MPC to our back into your ITB arrangement
Eeeeeasy Bro 
DT + MPC seem to have a lot of crossover. OT + MPC seem way more unique to each other?
DT is half price of OT. I think people are expecting Elektron to fill it with last minute functions but looking at their pricing across their product range Iād guess they already announced most of emā¦ That or OT is about to become a lot cheaper new.
I mean, possibly youāre right, given the extra space for all them Drum Samples(I just recently got this massive pack of drum samples and itās a pain to sorta filter through them prior to loading onto my machine. But the DT seems like an optimal sound unit to send sound to to mangle loops and then you still have midi conditions. The DT doesnāt seem optimal for performance, but Forbes composition, could be cool
I might have to sell now, then
Yeh DT looks fun/useful for sure. Iād personally miss Scenes/Fader + stereo resampling/slicing + the extra LFOs etc too much to flip my OT for one tho. Obvs YMMV mate

Ah! Shoot! The LFOs! I forgot about them! Think theyād reimplement the freely assignable LFOs from the MD? Thatās something Elektron havenāt done yet!
Stereoā¦rightā¦forgot about that too

After spending a bunch of time on the OT this weekend, Iām positive if/when I get a DT, it would supplement the OT, never replace it. That crossfader is pure magic

The more Ive been using the OT, the more I realize this DT would be a perfect companionā¦ Ive been running into limits with the 8 MIDI tracks, and having another 8 plus sampler would be ideal, especially since it ties directly into the elektron pattern-switching matrixā¦ its starting to look like a no-brainer, especially at that price

You could use the 8 DT tracks for drums and the 8 OT tracks for all the weird goodness the OT can do, with 16 tracks of slightly different flavors of Elektron sequencing. Seems like a winning combo to me. When I had an OT I often wished I had more tracks just for drums so I could go nuts with deeper routing and sample manipulation. Kinda makes me want to order a DT and OT right now just thinking about it, actuallyā¦

Iād go as far as to say that the DT might be a brilliant āsidecarā box for accompaniying any elektron ābig boxā, be it OT, A4 or AR. More voices + MIDI sequencing with conditions and kits for every pattn (ie. setting MIDI pgm chng, CC etc for every pattern individually)

That seems to be the new elektron marketing.
Theyāre giving us side-dishes (heat, DT) for the main course (OT, A4, RYTM)

depending on the functionality of the DT I might end up looking into purchasing a secondhand OT?

nearly 800 euro pre order from elektron.
thatās pretty steep 
So, Ā£659 UK pounds. I need to see a bigger demo before considering a pre-order.
āShipping starts in Mayā¦ā
Has the price gone up? Was 600 last time i looked
That demo! Haha.
