Just sold my DSI Rev 2 16 voice keyboard and Digitakt is up for saleā€¦ In the process of setting up an Octatrack MKII purchase with my concierge from Musicianā€™s Friendā€¦ Super excited.

Also got a few guitar pedals recently and some maintenance stuff for my guitarā€™s overall healthā€¦

Iā€™ve gone OTB and ITBā€¦ I donā€™t think either is best therefore the best music (from me) is going to come from a mixture of the two as they are simply tools, and do not dictate the product, as opposed to how theyā€™re usedā€¦ Of course great music comes from either school, but I still believe the best is the middle path.

Plan to release an EP by the end of the year if not a little laterā€¦ Working on the third track skeleton but I think my entire progress so far will be wiped when I get my Octatrack.

Bought second hand Nord Lead 3 few weeks ago. It appears to have very mixed reviews? Liking it so far. Anyhoo hope get all this talking with Digitakt. Pondering whether i can use old midi files for 80ā€™s and 90ā€™s fun. Play files via DAW - OB - then save patterns live on DK?

This!

andā€¦ I dunno, have to see how much is possible at once!

definitely some Euclidian Beats generative stuff, maybe sending arps to MGB on a gameboy. Possibly making extra LFOsā€¦ I dunno. If anyoneā€™s got any good tips let me know!

lool thatā€™s so true

I had a Lead 1 when the 3 was released, and I found there was an obvious difference, but it wasnā€™t a ā€œbadā€ difference, just a different vibe.
Apparently it was due to Nords departure from Peter Jubelā€™s design talents that everyone found it so ā€œdifferentā€ and as youā€™d expect, heavily criticised. Didnā€™t stop thousands of musicians recording with it for ten years.
