Hello everyone,
I posted here a few weeks back looking for recommendations on a groove box.
(You can skip this, but: about 6 months ago I got an OG Novation Circuit, had fun with it, but soon found it a little too simple. Sold it and upgraded to a Roland MC-101—which sounds amazing, but I find its workflow so prohibitive to actually making music that I rarely use it and am currently trying to sell it, too; probably should have gone for the 707 instead.)
After much video watching and product review reading, it seems like the Syntakt is the tool for me for what I want: a machine that has amazing sounds in box, where I can easily and intuitively start the makings of a track (drums, bass, melody, texture), which I can then import into Ableton to do the work of arranging and adding additional components / pads / samples / etc.
My question: having bought a Circuit, and regretting it, and now an MC-101, and also regretting it, I’m getting cold feet about the Syktakt because of its price. It’s basically as expensive as a new computer. To Sytakt users: do you feel any regrets about your purchase? I know I can obviously sell it, too, but with each resale I’ve lost a bit of money, so I’m trying to be more scrupulous.
Thanks.
