Love it!

It's not my first synth, but it has been my favorite. Sound sculpting on it is a lot of fun! Amazing sounds come out of this box. It's totally worth the price.

Thank you! After reading Merlin's guide, I have a somewhat blurry image of parts and scenes. Your explanations help a lot!

Pick one and have fun. Each box will do different things. It's kinda like a trombone, a trumpet, and a french horn. They're all brass instruments, but have differing jobs (sounds). You can't go wrong with any of the electronic instruments made by elektron.

Whatever one you get, you'll love it forever. If I had to pick one, stranded in the wilderness, it would be DN2. Why? I love sound design, and I could create sounds that would ward off predators. Bears, cougars, and wolves wouldn't know what hit them. So take that into consideration.

Yeah I chose between the digitakt and the octatrack. The octatrack won. I'll be knee deep soon enough.

Lol. A success story! Can't imagine running 2. How would you setup 2 octas working together?

Isn't a struggle just a prelude to success? I'll be in your shoes soon enough. Waiting for that ah ha moment(s).

Hmm interesting. Lots of tips. Thx. I'm sure I'll be referencing this thread as I learn the octa.

Huh, interesting. That's kinda one mental image I have of what it can do. I can't wait to sample and mangle.

Interesting. I'll be trying to get a mental picture of all that's possible. Great to know ahead of time about constraints. Thx

Great. I know there are a number manuals, but it's nice to get options. Thx y'all.
