The smaller sixteen step seq bottons is a nice move. The track buttons are nice and firm but not to firm , the track buttons reminds me of novation circuit and push2 buttons.
Yes The rest of the buttons are kind of spongy but not in a bad way. Just donāt start licking or chewing on themš¤ but yes they are kind of like SPONGEBOB.

From the various demos Iāve listened to, Iām finding I prefer the less hyped sound of the M:S compared to the DTā¦ hmm

DT has hyped sound? 
Audio is very subjective indeed.

Subjectively, the high end sounds a bit more hyped on the DT to me than the M:S.

ā¦relative interpolation is a magic word hereā¦
no money - but Iām trying to persuade someone else to!
Iād really like to see the āChainsā functionality (8.13 described on page 30 of the manual) of the M:S improved so that āChainsā can be saved. I really donāt understand why this data has to be so volatile

Iām a big proponent and practitioner of the āJam/Cut/Sample/Composeā method of music-making. This little guy seems like a great machine for that. I think a lot of the grumpy folks around the forum are disappointed, and used to the āfull boreā instruments, jam packed with bonus features but it seems Elektron is making a product for new players here.
Honestly when I saw it I was likeā¦ āyeah, I donāt need thatā but it does look REALLY easy to work with and tweak live. If I was in a more collaborative/live oriented project I would seriously consider it.

That was my feeling about it too. Especially after purchasing a digitakt. i was like, yeah Iām not buying an MS, but damn does it look really quick and easy to work with. All i can think is man, I wish the DT was that simple and quick to use.

The term hyped sound doesnāt equal frequency bump for me. Semantics I guess.
You didnāt include that nuance before. I agree the highs are more present in the DT but to call the sound hyped is not very fair imho. But maybe thatās just my negative association with the term hyped sound.

Apologies for the problematic semantics. Letās move on.

I have a question. How does one handle mute groups on the M:S (i.e. closed hi-hat samples cutting off open hi-hat samples)?
The DT didnāt necessarily āneedā this function due to having a workaround (using the ability to parameter lock different samples). But without this same ability, is the M:S even capable of any workarounds?

From reading the manual, no track linking / grouping / mute grouping is mentioned so I presume that feature is not available.
A work around would be to use a sample chain, since there is no sample lock capability.
It should be noted that chains in M:S will be easier to manage than chains in DT due to the removal of the decimal point sample start resolution (119.88 vs 120). Rytm chains are compatible, and since unlike Rytm, M:S has a sample ālengthā parameter instead of sample āendā, the M:S should (on paper) have the smoothest handling of 120 segment Rytm/DT compatible sample chains.

I was also trying to think of ways to use round-robin samples with sample chains and a random LFO. It doesnāt appear like this would be possible for sample chains consisting of more than two samples. That is, unless you have a sample chain consisting of 120 round-robin samples.

Solution is to buy both.DT to handle sampling and MS for playback --the two synced together would be the ultimate Electron sampling rig!
