<div dir="ltr">I don't have an audio demo to show for it yet, but....WOW. Very well done.<div><br></div><div>Main points:</div><div><br></div><div>1. The sound is excellent. The synthesis is simple, but you have to remember the sequencer is really part of that engine. One voice can do a LOT. It is far more 'vintagy' sounding than I thought it would be.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. The FX are what I expected - nice as part of the sound design, but nothing to write home about. I will more than likely bypass them and use outboard</div><div><br></div><div>3. Elektron is *finally* starting to get workflow. You can save a pattern, edit that pattern, and then reload the pattern if you don't like the changes. save and reload is done with two buttons. If they could just add a 'Save To Pattern' function that allows saving the data to a different empty slot that would be perfect. Kits, sounds and tracks all get the same treatment. </div>
<div><br></div><div>4. This thing is actually easy to learn. The manual is less than 100 pages and only hardly needed at all. </div><div><br clear="all"><div style>5. Their one big screw up was to only put 2 outputs on it. It really needs 6 (individual for each and a stereo pair). You can get around this easy enough, but </div>
<div><br></div><div style>6. I hope they implement the Octatracks User LFO shapes. But I can live with P-Locks.</div><div style><br></div><div style>If anyone is on the fence, get it. I don't think you will regret it.</div>
