^yeah pretty much. :slight_smile: or it’s whatever i’m using at the time.

i guess overall octatrack, for the reasons other people have too and a big one for me is how it lets you work with feedback and so called physical modeling synthesis techniques, without the assumption of a lot of physical modeling synths that you want it to sound like a real instrument and respond in the same way, because to get the most out that you basically have to learn how to play the instrument being modeled. :sleepy: i like that it feels like interacting with the sound on it’s own terms.

but… i really like the the machinedrum, especially the UW part too. i feel like the ui is more polished or something.

it’s weird tho, i use the octatrack most because you can change what you use it for to fit the situation really well i think, but sometimes i have to take breaks because it glitches or freaks out and i get annoyed. or i accidentally reload a part and lose work… imo that’s a ui bug. i never step away from the machinedrum or the others and feel annoyed.

i’ve made full tracks with the a4 and monomachine too, but the a4 especially i find myself using it more complementary to other gear and the monomachine i get the most enjoyment out of it used with a “traditional” sampler i.e. something other than the octatrack. :wink:
