What do all the Tonverk Heads do about the lack of slicing?
I'll give some context:
I love the tonverk. It's my favorite Elektron machine I've ever had. (have had: OT, MS, and ARYTM) It's the most immediate and clear songwriting machine of all of the boxes I've tried. It's also incredibly powerful (longest sequencer length, love the ease of connection to a daw if I want to quickly dump what I've been working on.)
However, the ONE thing I miss from the OT is slicing. It drives me nuts having to split samples up in the Subtracks machine. I want to just mangle and play them in my recording! Yet surely I don't really need a whole ass Octatrack just for the slicing? Don't love sampling into the OT either, find setting up the buffer machines tedious and somewhat risky (forgetting to save your sample after recording on the buffer etc.)
I quite enjoy sampling on the Tonverk, I think the threshold recording is an easy way to play with things in time, and assigning to a track is super simple. But then I can't slice it! F#$CK!
Are there good additions I should consider here? DTI? DTII? Do I need a Digitakt II if I want the added sequencer length like the Tonverk? Should I just dream of a software update?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
