I think my eyes are mostly looking at that retrig button and the playfulness of the 16-step pads. Seems like you can do some bonker things with this much immediate control.
Is the body constructed with plastic or metal?
Dude. The thing that makes this most appealing is its midi(I assume over USB)
You can sequence synths on your iPhone on the go. That will be pretty cool.
Shame thereās no audio pass through on this thing though- just something to run iPhone audio into the machine to be combined with the headphone out
Iād like to hear more from the DN/DT/OT/AR/A4/AH on what they think about the new machine

That is a great demo!
Itās light in weight (0.80 kg or 1.8 lbs) so the choice would be plastic.

As long as itās rugged, plastic should be fine.
Elektron probably did things right to make it rugged.
But i do like the weapons grade heft of the Digitakt too.
Like I need a live feed of a Digitakt speaking about his opinion. Might be jealous of some of itās feature set, maybe, but who REALLY knows??? I need to hear it from the source!

I know a lot of people arenāt into it but I think itās great. I hope for a series of these little guys to jam out on. I agree that the price might be a bit high but maybe my/our minds will change

I think the main thing that bothers me after absorbing all of this is that it isnāt OB enabled.
All in all though, after initially being disappointed, itās pretty exciting. People talk all the time about an octatrack being an instrument, and this seems to go in that direction. Itās an instrument to be played rather than programmed. I think it makes sense.

Iām assuming there is no way to send samples recorded with the Digitakt over to this via USB? Would love to offload drum samples from the Digitakt but I donāt use a laptop.

Or, perhaps, theyāve learned their lesson not to announce āOB enabledā from the get go and to bring to the machine when ready? Or is that hoping too much? I do think itās odd not to have OB in this one.

Or perhaps it is that they decided to stop promising OB enabled (someday ā¦) from day one on all their new products.
(Nobody should buy this thinking that some day they will shoe horn in Overbridge.)

Exactly how I see it too. This is more closer to the OT in terms of live performance than any of their other instruments. Probably the most laser-focused Elektron product to just jam on.
