    I think the Euclidian sequencer can be a great starter to get ideas going. Once you're happy with the sequence, just FUNC + EUC to switch off the euclidian sequencer and turn your sequence into 'real' trigs.

    Sometimes when you’re realtime changing locks, the filter or envelope it sounds like if the #Digitakt sequencer slows down a bit. For example with the kick around 04:30 and the hats around 05:23 and 06:06. Maybe it’s the video, but it’s noticeable… strange 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Great video and the way I like to compile grooves as well but not you your level of expertise.
    Have had most of the Elektron boxes and now just holding onto the A4 which I love. But ita a bit to large for my workspace so considering the buying a D2 - those filters and effects on the D2 and 16 tracks I’m seriously considering. Stereo sampling to for my ears the D2 sounds better IMHO.
    So I’d have a Perkins, D2 and AH+FX. That will fit on the desk.
    I wasn’t a fan of the OG Digitakt just to my ears but the D2 sounds better to me - tell me if I’m wrong.
