If only Elektron actually used the word “modularity” for its actual meaning we’d have the ability to swap a different sound engine into to the Rytm which would honestly solve all of my life problems

I’d had a little GAS for the SP404 with the new update and thought that might replace my EP133, but once the DTII buzz started I sat tight. DTII ordered but I might keep my 133 so I can roam around with it and my SH4d, also battery powered. I’m going to line up my Syntakt, Digitakt and Iridium Core and let the games begin. Also have the Push 3 and Juno X to top it all off. Kind of into that set up. Does it all and, in the case of the battery powered ones, lets me move about the house. Everything stays!

Same. And it’s still tempting to play with one. But I’m hyped on the DT2

I mean, both is not out of the question

Ahh. I just got a Polyend Tracker the other day. Now I am thinking I wished I held on to my money a bit longer.
At least it was a good price, the mini must be driving down street value.

I’ve thought for awhile that my dream sampler would pretty much be a mix of the dt and 404mk2 and this seems close enough so the dt1 and 404 are going. i hope i can live without skipback. i’m also selling a beebo so i don’t have to get a divorce

Probably… maybe my Syntakt. But then again, do I want another elektron box just for drums?
Got an OT but man am I running out of tracks quickly when doing complex drum sequences. 16 stereo tracks is very intriguing and it would free up a lot of real estate on the OT.

My current setup is one or two Digitone with an AH+FX. I think DTII will replace at least one Digitone, maybe both for live performance. With stereo sampling, it can now replicates the crazy stereo sound design abilities of DN with AH+FX and the new paradigm of the sequencer will be so much more powerful during live situations (euclidean that allows to mess up entire patterns just by turning one or two knobs, 128 steps combined with loop page that allows to have multiple independent patterns per track).

I’m still planning to use my SP404Mk2, maybe not as a sampler anymore but as an effect box to resample with DT II cause effects are just amazing

Nothing. Next to my DT I have 1010 blackbox so I am pretty comfortable with what I have and what I am getting out of it. Also the crowded front panel and shortcuts and menu diving and scrolling in DT II…man, I dont know. I would consider it if this would have been a bigger device with bigger screen and more outputs. You will need all the fingers you have and some.

It’s a nice upgrade for sure.
However it provides me no more life time for working with my Elektrons and other gear.
So I can wait 6-12 month and see how DT2 and DT1 firmware develop and postpone any GAS based decision.

Looking at how my reverb and eBay pages have been flooded with digitakts overnight I’d guess for most it’s a digitakt they are replacing.
Great time to buy a second hand mk1

I had Octatrack since ever, but it shows grey hair like me. DT2 replaces DT and OT for me.
Kits, step count and foremost storage does it for me. I didn’t used scenes and live resampling anyway, Octatrack was always an arranger, sequencer for externals with some one shot audios too for me.
Only pattern per track is something elektron seems to, well…. ignore?

Will it replace the Analog Rytm MK2?
I won’t be getting the DTii to replace my DT. It has served primarily as a sketch pad for playing around with fun samples that I then bring into my DAW, not as a “studio center piece” I suppose.
Congrats btw to anyone who’ve scored a good deal on a second hand DT in light of the DTii.

Thank you so much
And sorry, I’ve never used LoopCloud, but it would be weird if it didn’t work anymore?

The only hardware sampler I have now is the OT but the DT II doesn’t replace it. It just frees up more tracks on OT for live sampling/fx, and takes over one shot duties

I could potentially let go of my Behringer RD-8 and Korg EMX. I think DT II & Syntakt has everything I need in a pair of drum machines.

Goodbye MPC1000. Man I’m really going to miss your retro style.
We always joked that I wish I had a more up to date, sleeker and more flexible version of you, but I never thought the day would actually come.

Probably nothing for me at the moment.
I only recently picked up an e25 Digitakt, and still feel like I’m just scratching the surface with it.
While the upgrades in the DT II look great, I’m not sure they’d be worth the upgrade price vs. buying a completely separate bit of kit that adds completely different capabilities to complement the original DT (maybe a Deluge, Perkons, or a nice multi-timbral synth I can sequence from the DT).
