Which Elektron Sampler Should You Get?

What is difference between Octatrack MK2, Digitakt MK2 and Tonverk? While all Elektron samplers offer similar workflows, they each lean into different musical concepts. We will also discuss learning curve of each and why you might choose one over others. There are technically four samplers available from Elektron, but for this comparison, we will omit Analog Rytm since it functions more as synthesizer than sampler.
