If you have any experience with the Octatrack or the digitakt what did you like and dislike about both?

Previously on Elektronauts:

Digitakt vs. Octatrack

I am torn. I had an OT for awhile and just thought it would take me a year to learn it and running live. I see the digitakt has midi sequencing and sampling like th rhythm. I am intrigued. Should I wait for the DT or try the OT again? Thoughts?

Should have bought an Octatrack?

Hi - I just bought a Digitakt over the holidays. It’s my first Elektron device. I’ve had 3 long, productive sessions with it, and have almost sold it 3 times. There are things I love about it like messing with the samples once they’re loaded, playing with the sequencer, the look, and the feel of the buttons. But the part that’s really slowing me down is the loading of samples to projects. I wish there was a magic button that would just randomly fill a project with samples from a file or somethi…

I’m really thinking time to swap octatrack for digitakt

If I’m not planning on playing live and have Ableton, I can’t see the benefit . Sure it’s fun, but the digitakt seems to be more what I’m looking for . Will I regret this ?

Moving on to an Octatrack MKII from a Digitakt

Hey elektronauts, I currently own a Digitakt and I would like to keep things as dawless as possible, but running into a few limitations. Mainly time stretch/warping, and a big plus would be the ability to take advantage of song mode. I do find find Overbridge very useful for post stuff, too bad it’s not available for Octrack, but that’s fine. Anyway, I have a few questions in regards to the switch to Octatrack MKII. Pardon me if some of the questions might sound silly. I imagine there’s no pl…

For remixes, Octatrack MKII or a Digitakt?

Like so many others, I have acquired a heap of old, unfinished projects made over the years. Most of them are made ITB and I feel that a good way of putting those files to use would be to change the approach and load them into an Elektron box. This might blow new life into them and I think it would be fun. I used to have a mnm and an md. Now I have an a4 mkii so I am familiar with Elektron. Which one suits my needs best? OTMKII or DT? Edit: or am I better off looking into an MPC Live or someth…

Digitakt Upgrade (Analog RYTM mkii or Octatrack)

I have a Digitakt, which I’ve been loving, but as we all know it’s missing a few things. Namely - stereo sampling song mode saving pattern chains I understand this is meant as a performance device, or that’s been the argument, but it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to actually compose on this. Anyway, initially I thought the Octatrack was the grown up version to the Digitakt. I’ve owned an Octatrack. But, after looking a little more closely, it appears that the RYTM MKII might actua…

OT sound vs Digitakt

Hi, I’m on the verge of buying an Digitakt or Octatrack MK2 but can’t seem to find a source of comparison for the sound engines between these two. I really like the sound engine and sample workflow of the DT, does any one know if this part is the same on the OT MK2? Regards, Al Switch

and many more.
