After one year without OT (the last one didn’t return from repair of loose knobs, then I made a deal with the dealer to get an A4 instead of my OT), I finally ordered a new one!!
I missed it a lot, was wondering if I should just order one almost every weekend, but I think it was worth the time to really appreciate loop sampling and what the OT can do with recorded loops! The MD Morphor template for iPad Lemur which I posted on Elektron-Users was a nice and flexible workaround, but a built-in crossfader is just much simpler and thus more usable…
yes, the OT should be a no-brainer at least if enough money is available in the “music budget” and that one turned out to take a while.
cutting stuff together on a computer is no fun at all when your’re used to what the OT can do with recorded audio and I also missed all those thoughts about what you could do with all the complexity available.
I remember our interesting (online) discussions. to be continued
the OT is a really advanced machine (as for any elektron’s gear), not a simple sampler you throw stuff at and you can have some fun (after having spent time in menus and such…). it’s a must have…can’t think of any other piece of hardware that does soooo much
at least if enough money is available in the “music budget” and that one turned out to take a while.
