@Branshen If I've understood @axisus correctly, this device is for pwning n00bz in MMORPGs, not serenading maidens. You can tell it's not an instrument because the numbers go up to 16. Musicians can only count up to 13.
Ever heard of Em7b16? Nope.
I'm more towards the latter although I've done a fair bit of house music.
I use the Octatrack II in my live looping guitar system- I could do the same with the Digitakt but the Octatrack II allows you to process incoming audio with a thru machine, you can't do that with the Digitakt, you have to sample to process.
The guitar looping system is a Helix + a Fractal FX8 that I only use as a looper.
The Helix and FX8 loopers are free running (run independent of one another) and I can just flip between them with an expression pedal.
The Octatrack II can be fed from either the Helix or an FX8 (again with an expression pedal movement) and then that can get sent back to the Helix.
I know people are kidding but IMHO these devices are as much comprehensive and capable instruments as a guitar.
Check this out- using just the internal metronome click of the Octatrack a complete track was made, but taking that metronome and turning it into music:

Although the Digitakt is a marketed as a 'drum computer' you can use it with melodic samples no problem at al.
Also, because of the genius way the Elektron sequencer works there is nothing stopping you from assigning different samples per step.
The way to look at it is it is an 8 voice unit- what those voices are is totally open and you can assign pretty much any function to the sequencer as well, just by going into step sequencer mode, holing down the step key for the track/v rice you are on and then changing things. It is pretty powerful.
The Octatrack II is even more powerful but is much deeper and a bit harder to negotiate.
