![]() Linear sequencers allow more flexibility regarding timing and quantity of events. Well everything has a limit and a sequence can only use as much RAM as is available of course MPCs can also be programmed like a step-sequencer, but sequences are not strictly limited to a particular amount of events or bars. ![]() My MPC 5k has 64 tracks per sequence and - I guess - a capacity of 99 sequences MPCs have also more tracks than Elektron boxes. Technically speaking MPCs have been designed from the beginning to be a center piece of a studio and taking control over many things inside and outside the box. But my OT and DN have one DIN midi-in and one out port, my MPC 5k has two DIN midi-in and four midi-out ports (the MPC X has even 8 CV/Gate outputs … ) Elektron boxes with a midi sequencer can do a similar job in a similar way. My workflow with MPC in combination with Elektron units is that I use the MPC as a master, but use the sequencers of the Elektron instruments too. Elektron sequencers are excellent in getting all the functionality inside an Elektron box to life. I don’t waste time, to make a central sequencer to command all those features. For me it seems much more efficient, to use the strength of each unit in parallel.
