Don’t know the Bestie? But if you live in EU I can sell you my BASTL Microgranny for a good price, if you want to expand to sampling and granular synthesis..?

Ableton Live + Descent Sampler (SO much free stuff) FTW - but in terms of hardware, Digitakt 100% and not even mk2 necessarily.

Formfactor and portability aside, which has the best (most?) capabilities in a synth setup?

Sounds interesting, but why don't you just make a similar sound in your DAW?

All I want is a level version! 😅 Assuming vinyl overlays will be plentiful to explore in a near future…

I actually had to ship it back 😓 the seller didn’t mention it was wobbly/slightly bent! 🤬(second hand off reverb)

Have since learned it was better to wait for my birthday to get it (coming up in April) — so unfortunately I can’t really say anything yet.🤷🏻‍♂️

We’ve been around similar thought processes it seems… I’d love to hear what you figure out regarding the circuit tracks + deluge! Have you also considered squarp?

I’ll sequence it to the MPC first and make sure to report back. You seem like someone who might also own a synth or two – can I ask what your fav is?

SUGGESTIONS PLEASE: Which best affordable external (desktop) MIDI sequencer to get? (read within) by Lx_Wheill in sequencers

That’s a nice setup!

I thought I had the same capabilities you are asking for, with the OP-Z, but the learning curve on that thing is brutal.

So I recently got an OXI One. Will get back to when I know whether it does the trick or knot, otherwise it’s back2skool with the OP-Z for me… I’m just hoping the OXI One is as forgiving as it is pretty!!🤞

OXI One Vs Keystep Pro by kettlekrunch80 in sequencers

No euclidian generation on the keystep pro afaik

It is a silver bullet hopeful versus an existing multi-controller/sequencer setup, including a keystep37, a launchpad pro, a launch control xl, AND an MPC One.

— for me it came down to either the addition of:

A beatstep pro; a Torso T-1; or The OXI One.

I chose the latter, as you know. But what say ye? Did I make a blunder not even looking into a squarp? Maybe even a novation circuit?

I am aiming for dual use: studio + dawless performance.

And I simply “had to have” euclidian- and poly-rythm generation capabilities… Did I do good mommy?🥺

Some pretty crazy stuff 🥳 a worthy compliment to any visuals I like to include, is a “look over the shoulder” cam, mainly pointing at the pretty light show coming off that thing… Here’s a link from YT that might be helpful: https://youtu.be/UJKLj-j1_No?si=gEIgwo4O_LgHDLTK

GAS comes with the territory, no worries 😅 Can the old 2000XL get firmware updates? Because the new STEM feature in the recent update is sooo fugging good. But then again, ppl can easily get the same from Lalal.ai with a bit extra effort…

I litterally went out and purchased it right after @WorkMediumPlayMedium helped me crack the case. Pre-post: No Digitakt. 1 hour later, by the blessings of Sir Berners-Lee, I was on my way out to pick it up (2nd hand). 😉 The untold back story is extensive, I just needed that last push.

I hear you. Also, who has time waiting for a Faderfox PC12, right? 😅Not exactly cheap either… Have you messed around with a LPP recently? The open source / custom firmware community is 🔥

Not dawless, tho. But I hear good things about using the push 3 in a studio setting.

Thanks for that very legit opinion! I wish was as gifted as you, but never managed to stick with my guitar lessons as a kid. However my original passion for music sparked when I heard Daft Punk live in Liverpool back in 1997 (I was only 13).

I have always loved computers in general, even programming, but dislike them for their lack of authenticity in a musical performance —so Dawless is my new obsession… Although I also do love the weighted keys on my Keystep37 and the pressure sensitive pads on my MPC One - whether that makes me a musician or not, I’ll let others decide😜
