It depends on the genre but if you get into dub techno stuff it seems having a master delay is a must… you could also work with a delay similar to how people used to find new rhythms out of vintage preset drummachines by tweaking delays with lowish feedback and finding new grooves off of simple rhythms, with the digitakt it would just mean setting up a simple straight forward rhythm and then just exploring, then maybe resample the results and chop it up into a composition. Sounds like you more or less found your set up for now though, but yeah there are plenty of reasons for a nice master delay on a drum machine if you’re looking for some new inspiration.
