But yea it's not a huge on the fly inspirational thing, more a plan it out or get lucky thing. The digitakt seems to me what I always kinda wanted the octatrack to be, a funky weird simple sampler. <span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>On Apr 21, 2017, at 7:28 AM, foRUMS 4 punkdISCO <<a href="mailto:forums@punkdisco.co.uk">forums@punkdisco.co.uk</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>Andrew T wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> I might get this and the mono station and the Digitakt instead of the OB-6 desktop I was thinking of getting<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m not too sure about the Digitakt. I had and loved the Rytm but, hated how the Rytm handled samples. I came to the conclusion that if they made a Rytm without the sampling part, it would be a killer machine. Hopefully they have learnt some lessons from how not to handle samples in the Rytm and carried that knowledge into the Digitakt..<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So sold the Rytm and replaced with a MachineDrum MkII UW which I feckin love!!

It’s quite hard to explain how the MD samples using RAM and ROM machines but it’s very simple and quick to use, taking happy accidents to a whole new level. When inspiration is needed, I feed into the MD, say, a Depeche Mode track and program a drum part using a 200ms short sample. You set this to keep auto-sampling every pattern loop until it captures a gem (typically every 4 or 5 attempts). Repeat this a few times with other parts. You now have a track that sounds Depeche Mode-esque without being in anyway recognisable to the original.
