So a few things are leaving me this week ...
TB-03 - Realised that although I like a bit of acid tweaking that I dont really want to be making that sort of music.
Roland Scooper - It's nigh on impossible to get a perfect loop with and a few other wee gripes. Great maybe for looping and tweaking random shit but not for when you need loops to be perfect.I think that I'll likely get a Digitone as it's good bang for buck and compliments the Digitakt nicely (sizewise too).
Ruled out a Mk1 A4. I used to own one and know that I'll regret getting it again. I just dont have the love for menu diving on a tiny screen to make sounds.
Daft voice in my head suggests getting something like an 0Coast or a Mother32 (to be controlled by the Digitakt) and a few effects modules like Clouds and put it into a Arturia Rackbrute to sit nicely behind the Digitakt. But then that's like standing at the edge of the eurorack rabbithole again lol.
Digitone seems the most sensible :)
- have only played with the digitone briefly, but the menu diving seems on par with the A4, if only reduced due to the lack of knobs.autoflavour
- but yep, if you sold the A4 before, then revisiting it this soon is probably unwise.autoflavour
- that said over bridge on the A4 completely changes the experience of all those devices.. so swings and roundabouts.. but yep, the Digitone/Digitakt combo winautoflavour
- that said, 12 years after selling my Monomachine I revisited and glad I did.. but yep, a lot has passed since thenautoflavour
- Friend has recommended I revisit the A4 too. Yes I had OB with the A4 before and it made it so much easier to manage and create new sounds.microkorg
- The Digitone has a large screen and similar workflow to the Digitakt which attracts me. Maybe I'll go play with the Digitone at a store.microkorg
- I was on the fence about the A4 for ages.. then I managed to find a good chunk of time and now I'm smitten..autoflavour
- very different machines tho.. hard to compareautoflavour
- sold my ak and very tempted by A4, seen a few go for <£500 recently... worth it even for synth drums imho.kingsteven
- wow really? I own both at the moment and the Keys is hands down my favourite of the 2..autoflavour
- heh, seemed daft to use keys for drums, never wanted to take it out live and i've been recording in a studio with a dream polysynth collection!kingsteven
