Pros

  • get you a digitone 1 or syntakt sometime my dood. nice setup
  • So I have Syntakt for the rhythm part with a Vermona Filter Lancet on my ass.
  • Syntakt or Digitone 2 are my recommendations.
  • My live setup is the syntakt with the Faderfox PC12 to get the most out of it, sequenced by the torso T-1. And on top of that I’m rocking the moog labyrinth hooked up to the microcosm. Between all of these things I think I can cover all...
  • I’ve done two psy eps with just the Syntakt.

Cons

  • I'm not sure how limiting the syntakt is in that area since it seems focused on drum sounds.
  • I got 4 stereo signals which i want to mix together, Digitakt 2 , Digitone 2, Syntakt and Torso s4.
  • I've never used any Elektron devices, but the Syntakt or Digitone II might be worth looking at. The downside is you lose the immediacy of all those pads on the Synth and Play+
  • I would stay away from the Syntakt as your sole groovebox (I had one and sold it). It has a very unique character to it, and you better be really into sound design if you have one. It's great for making fun weird sounds, but if you ever...
  • I recently bought a Keystep Pro and am using it to sequence a Syntakt, Nina, Super 6 Desktop and a Steampipe.

My live setup is the syntakt with the Faderfox PC12 to get the most out of it, sequenced by the torso T-1. And on top of that I’m rocking the moog labyrinth hooked up to the microcosm. Between all of these things I think I can cover all my bases.

I would stay away from the Syntakt as your sole groovebox (I had one and sold it). It has a very unique character to it, and you better be really into sound design if you have one. It's great for making fun weird sounds, but if you ever just need some straightforward 606/808/909 samples you are really going to have to work for them.
