I feel like they were talking about the price point vs the other boxes.
Iāve seen it being mentioned in other treads too. As if Elektron released the DT as a basic tool for basic things. Then why is it called a beat making powerhouse? And not a beat making toy? Just wondering on what people base their opinions on. My guess is assumptions.

Iāve had mine for about a monthā¦ I consider it a powerhouse not a toy!

I donāt know whether this precisely addresses your question, but one member of staff said āmore economic and simpleā:

That is totally different from āmarketed asā¦ā claims Iām talking about.
A streamlined workflow does not imply less features or basic features. But that is just me. Iām patient and will wait to see what new firmwares bring. We were also promised pattern chaining that rivals song mode. As for now we canāt even save the basic chains.
Like I said Iām probably expecting too much.
(Off topic, the forum is mad slow since the downtime)
Simplicity isnāt removing or not adding features or functions.
Simplicity is adding those things in a such way itās simple to use. Less menu diving, less āthinkingā about what you need to do to achieve your goals.
Anyhow, Iām derailing yet another thread. Just wondered where people get their āDT was marketed as Xā things from. Iām sorry mods!
I know this cuz I accidentally did it: double tap patterns to double them up.

Oh, I recall it wasnāt fast or something, I was making a chain and pressed a pattern twice or something and ended up with the same pattern queued twice in a row. Hope it werks for you 
Just tried it again, keep holding the other buttons and press the pattern you want to queue up more than once again while holding other buttons. Itāll be a nice workout if you want something like 5-5-8-8-6-6-1-1-2

it would be cool if the track remembered which note you just played in chromatic mode, and then that would be the note selected when putting a step on the sequencer is step-record mode.
it seems to default to the same C3 or whatever it is every time.

a basic EQ for SOUNDS
not sure if this is already mentioned:
but please, please make the midi settings global or make midi setup presets that can be enabled for a new project.
It is annoying to have to go through the midi setup every time a new project is made.
As this does not hapen everyy hour or day or so it is something that causes second thoughts almost everytime I make a new projectā¦

Why not create a template project with your favourite settings?

IĀ“m with you and agree. Totally !
ā¦but you are aware that elektron has put each single word that came out of any of the Staff at any fair etc.on a golden balance bevore saying anything ?
thats also much true for Cenk.
I donĀ“t hang myself up on single words theyĀ“d put out but created my own picture in the whole in my head out of it.
they were running at first place for a entry level price tag when designing the DT.
its a totally obvious thing to me, stated many times between the lines of their speaks at the fairs.
and this was translated in my head to āa box for beginnersā 
I consider it a Toy. not saying iĀ“m not liking it.
i totally like the DT.
what makes it a Toy for me ?
mono vs. stereo.
1GB RAM, ā¦no file exchange ( sorry, iĀ“m not interested to hear whats planned. its not here yet)
no sample zoom in sample play window.
and mostly: a limitation to 72 paremater to be locked per pattern.
the last one alone makes its a Elektron Toy. Thats me, YMMV
Tough, they screwed āthe toy statusā in the sense that they made the DT beeing the most capable Elektron Box of all so far
ā¦thats then my other perspective to look at it.
so yes, i could also agree that the DT is a powerhouse. very much.
nevertheless, its a Toy. a great one tough.
sorry, it was not meant to open any dissucssion in this direction. iĀ“,m also tired of those.
i totally forgot about that people have so much problems to take critics on gear they own and like to use.
just this one to close it: a unToy DT would cost somewhere in the 1100$-1400$, retail. thats how it is,
and i would gladly buy it !!
Same specs as the AR sample engine
More colors for the steps in edit mode.
t would be cool to have different colors for the steps according to the condition trigs. Red for normal, Orange for fill, Yellow for not fill, etcā¦ that way we can quickly check what the state of our steps.

YES! Oh man. Workflow heaven.
Iād love a diff colour vs the quick blinking for trigs with parameter locks.

That doesnāt negate the blinking though. The quick blinks fatigue my eyes, or maybe the brightness overall does.

as there is no dedicated function for that, do you mean by creating a project with the useful settings and start every project with this one and the do a āsave asā new project?
Not the ideal way, that is too much thinking for me while I try to be creative but it could workā¦
MD was better on this topicā¦
I guess DT mk2 will be better as well 
For now DT mk1 will have to be good enough
Yes.
