Digitakt : Great product, but buggy at release

8 years ago

The build quality for this product is great, the chassis is solid, black paint is durable, the knobs feel nice and the keyboard-like buttons feel amazing.

The OS is not as amazing, at least not until a few more updates. The first update fixed a few issues with the encoder behavior, but freezes and crashes still happen in the v1.02 firmware. I am sure they will be addressed in future update.

The sound quality is good and I find Elektron took a very intuitive approach for designing the workflow - everything is simple to do and figure out on your own, you don't really need the manual for basic operation (but it's good to read it anyway since it's pretty feature packed).
