I come from a RS 7000 background, and have a OT and an MD. After months of practice, I think the sequencer of the RS 7000 is one of the best of all grooveboxes, mainly for live acts. The OT sequencer is far below, and the MD sequencer is just a bad joke. For me, it’s just a toy that I can hardly imagine use during a live act. So I’m planning to use the MD synced by the RS 7000, and the OT slaved because its sampler and filters are really good compared to those of the RS.
But in the beginning, I planned to get rid of the RS because of its weight an size. I won’t do It, but I regret that Elektron does not work as they should on their sequencers. If they would do that, the elektron machines would probably be more used in the darkstep/d’n’b/experimental scene, whitch it’s not the case: I gess they are used mainly in the electro/house/minimal scene because of the simplicity and the linearity of the musical compositions of those genres. The elektron video demos are, IMO, a symptom of this: press play, and just tweak, but not many breaks, fills, cut-up, rhythm randomization, etc.[/quote]
This is why I tell more people to get into using SLOTs and SLICE mode more often on OT; stop thinking in linear terms that the ELEKTRONS put you in
