Oh! I actually forgot to write about it I was looking at it indeed, but it’s on the expensive side (a new one seems to be ~2x more than what I’ve paid for a mint used Digitakt), but it did look like an interesting machine. I’m just worried I’d spend so much money and won’t like the workflow whereas with Digitakt it’s easier to accept (and probably easier to sell it if I have to, although not sure about that). I also think I’ve read somewhere that bigger boxes are deeper than the takt/tone trio, so diving straight into that sounded scarier That being said, if I do like the Digitakt, I’ll be looking long and hard at the Rytm

I’d take a second look before deciding, honestly. The Rytm isn’t necessarily deeper than the DT, in fact i think Rytm has less bells and whistles. But it really excels at being a drum machine. 12 tracks of analog synthesis, sample slot per track, analog filters & distortion and separate outputs per track. Also master compressor and i like the FX more, too. I really like the pads, too altho some people say they’re too rigid. Velocity sensitive, naturally which the DT lacks completely.

Digitakt is far less capable as a drum machine and lacks synthesis, but has more features for general use i guess. I would never trade my Rytm for a DT.
