Same. Also usually when companies release a new product they tend to forget about their old stuff. I was worried that would happen with the release of the syntakt, but here we are with another giant update with new functionality.

Now it just needs to fit all my sample library and would be perfect

I think that their three Digi kids are now pretty grown up, meanwhile OT and Analog twins has to be jealous and feel bit abandoned by their own creators :)) I bought my DT 2yrs ago and lacking autoslice/warp function was a unpleasant surprise, I assumed somehow automatically, that DT can do it, bcs it's sampling groovebox and automated source cutting/slicing is one of the necessary bones for this particular kind of gear :) Old electribes (ES mk1 and all furthers) and had it, two decades ago, omg..! :) ! So I'm glad that they FINALLY adds this essential feature, that "LFO to start point hack" founded by community was clever, but I wasn't :D My learning curve with DT was pretty slow, Elektron's architecture and logic was another planet for me, I used to Korg's simple grooveboxes desing :)) And the manual wasn't very helpful for somebody who's new in the game :)) But anyway, I still miss retrigger function on MIDI tracks, maybe second LFO could be useful, and finally, ability to sequence/automate FX parameters internally (=without MIDI looping).

@@otzcz didn't they add a second LFO in an update a while back already? And FX parameters can be locked right, so isn't that like sequencing?

u should think it more often then!

Same here - every time I want to get back into pure direct creative mode I go to the Digitakt - it’s the root of so many of my tracks - this is a wonderful update 🤘🏻❤️🙏🏻

I owe only digitakt, but think the same hehe!

can all this stuff be done on the Octatrack (but probably more complicated)?

@@fargoththemoonsugarmaniac Yes. Well actually not sure about repitch.

All it needs would be stereo sampling. But these updates have been amazing for the Takt

Octatrack ain't have nothin on the ease & inspiration-factor of the 'takt workflow 😎

Given the fact that the developers of the Octatrack have left Elektron they ensure that their sample-playback-devices are kept up-to-date. I would never trade my OT to a Digitakt, but I love both and this new update is a real game-changer! Loving this!

Yeah congrats Ricky! That’s pretty awesome. Great video as usual bro!

agreed

Can't wait for Rytm update

​@@vm1974-irkutsk TOTALLY! A4 too.

100% - if we got digitakt style stuff on the rytm sampler would be super nice!

What? Theres an MPC update too? 🤪

@@aikighost What? There's a Polyend Play update too? 🤪

@@RockLobster223 I have a polyend tracker which is awesome, but the play looked too "composition generated by machine" to me so I ignored it.

I'm glad I've had it for a few years because having all these features at once would be a bit jarring, similar to the OT's learning curve. The DT was fairly straightforward "back in the day", now it has a lot going for itself. I'm probably buying a second one..

I got the DT when it first came out, and I am genuinely stunned to still be getting updates on it this late in the game. Elektron's business plan seems to be one of the best and fairest out there these days: continuously improve, and then charge more. Look at how much more a new DT costs compared to 2018! Yes, inflation is real, but Elektron is also earning the right to charge more with these bonkers enhancements.

@@bouguification I was actually thinking the same, I’m glad I got to fully understand the “basics” of the DTs functionality before all the recent updates, now implementing them seems like second nature.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
