Got my Digitone yesterday morning but didn't have time to sit down with it until tonight. Loving this thing so far, I can see why Ae was into Elektron gear early on
tl;dr - Digitakt, Digitone, Syntakt, can't decide between the three, too overwhelming, please help
I caught the fever. After software fatigue I decided to try my first piece of hardware and after having an admiration for Elektron and liking artists that have used it went for the Model Cycles and slowly grew to love it.
Now I'm looking for something else and I'm looking at either the Digitakt, Digitone, or Syntakt. I am leaning toward the Digitakt because learning to work with samples sounds fun. I'm leaning away from Syntakt because it seems too middle-ground and is only a mono synth from my understanding. The Digitone seems cool. There are just still too many factors and it's overwhelming me.
I guess I'm looking for opinions from owners on which device is worth the financial investment. I am not super experienced working with samples but I am not opposed to starting so that should not affect the decision...
Music I usually make stems from experimental (Autechre-style) to techno to ambient, but I understand all three of these devices should be versatile enough especially paired with pedals / VSTs that I'm not really worried about it affecting my range.
Thanks so much for reading
EDIT: additional question, how are the factory samples on a Digitakt?
Edit 3: This is still up for sale
Hello all, I have a Bitwig Studio license up for sale to a good home for $200. I got it thinking I would use it but I haven’t and I’m trying to downsize my music related assets. Let me know if interested. Thanks!!
Edit: Adding in this license covers version 6, and was purchased by me on April 4, 2026
Edit 2: You don't have to upvote, but please don't downvote, it will keep people from seeing this which may prevent someone from using Bitwig. This is great software and it deserves to be used, and I am not using it.

As title says, I just finished a multi week binge of Returnal and Saros and it has been some of the most fun I’ve had gaming as an adult. I thought it would be easy to find another game on my own but it really isn’t. These left a hole that’s hard to fill.
Things I enjoyed about these two games are the fast paced gameplay and shooting, the roguelike elements, the leveling systems….
Other favorite games of mine are Outer Wilds, Fromsoftware games, Kojima games….so I’m open to games of all genres.
