Interesting-suprising thoughts.
I had AR MK1 and TR8 since they came out. After a few years of living with them I can say this. With AR I make drums of all kinds, modulated perc sequences, synth lines, atmospheres, fxs, hell I think I make most of everything on this magic black box - it is also true I adore its character / filters / envelopes / performance modes…
TR8 on the other hand has really great faders.
