Do I press the SUCK BUTTON!? Yamaha SEQTRAK Review - 2024 

Not a bad idea! I see me coming back to Seq later though.

Hah! Thanks for watching to at least 2:50 worth! :)

@@baconbigbeats actually I watched the whole video. It was driving me crazy what the digitakt was until you said it

@@jodo985 oh well I’ll say it sooner next time! Thanks for watching a lot more than 2:50!

Good point! Didn't plan it to be like that but when i started going I realized that these Elektron devices really did set the bar for me and it was tough not to compare it like that. Thanks for watching!

@@baconbigbeats I didn’t want to sound negative! I know you don’t have a Model Samples but that would have been a better comparison

@@trevormalcolm4328 I think you are right on that one.

Both fruits

Yup. Maybe one day I'll step into an MPC Live, I'm just having a tough time with the idea of it's workflow on those devices.

You know the surprising thing to me is I thought this would be a slam dunk just because of how much I love the Takt and this takes a few manuevers from the elektron world....but I ended up returning it. Just goes to show some things are not what they seem. Anyway thanks for watching!

Bought to use as a Synth Module but actually like the workflow tho lack of Probability for Synth Engines kinda boggles my mind. Digitakt had one, liked it but always got pushed aside for my Force so traded it for Ableton 11 Suite License.

@@duhguyfrombrooklyn1693 Hey Duh, I gotta tell you i'm REAL curious about the Force. I've been watching a ton of videos on it and it may be my next purchase, well, after the Syntakt of course. Why do you like it so much? Does it have a better workflow/experience?

@@baconbigbeats ability to Roll my own Rompler with the AutoSampler and the 64 pads in Scale n Key make a real nice compact 8 octave “Keyboard”. I have hundreds of Gigs of Keygroups for it and MPC. Keygroups are what Akai their MultiSampled Multi Velocity collections. I looked at the play n play 2 from Polyend but never jumped. I have their OG Tracker which is well made. I realized the Play(2) very likely won’t replace my Force so didn’t bother to grab one. Marcus Elbow has a lot of good Force videos as does Matthew Stratton n even Dylan Paris.

@@baconbigbeats only Sampling I really do is AutoSampling favorite Patches from Hardware, Software and iOS Synths. I am not the traditional Akai customer. No crate digging here. Hopefully Yamaha don’t keep the SeqTrak hamstrung n add new features in the coming year.

I get that but I not sure build quality would change my mind with where I stand now. I think the OP1 has a far superior build quality then this but I ditched that because of a workflow that didn't jive with me. But I have a question for you, which do you play with more and what do you prefer?

@@baconbigbeats I‘m completely fallen to the elektron ecosystem. :)
