Wow... You have no idea how much I appreciate these posts.

In the last few years, since I started walking a new path with music, I’ve been discovering a thousand and one new things. I’ve learned to open my mind to new forms, textures, and different methods of finding inspiration.

On that journey, I remember coming across a Digitakt Mk1 very early on… and I wasn’t ready. Years later, I realized that while it was never going to fit for me as a “drum machine” or for creating pseudo-static sequences, it actually had a much broader use when explored as a “super sampler” triggering and modulating long sequences. The Mk2, with its stereo capability and 16 tracks, felt like having a monstrous tape looper—an excellent bass and an enveloping pad… While everything moves and nothing remains the same over time.

So I came back to it, and even though I haven’t been able to focus on music in the past few months for other reasons, I know it’s there.

Thank you again for your generosity and for keeping the excitement of learning and experimenting alive.
