My minimal time with an org is that it is cave man basic, many things will piss you off, but other wise it just had magic to it with the way beats came together. You could make dozens of very differnt beats with the same samples depending on how you flavored it. Also part of the machine was very unpredictable and part of it would seem to manipulate that to your flavor. Was not s good partner for the live, especially resampling. Really hard to get things to mesh well. But anything made within the sp itself would fit together amazing, and plus the special little magic it had.

Closest thing I have seen in modern terms was the pioneer toraiz, but that had its own limitations, it would only work as a sound module for my work flow ,a great sounding one for me but it’s a machine that things just come together on. Beats almost make themselves type of ish.

If this thing is good enough midi wise I might trim everything back to just 2400, and z8 track everything out. Last interview they seemed to get weird when I brought up midi tracks....

Not really, there are 2 additional small pads above each of the 8. He confirmed you can use those as well to trigger samples. So its 24 technically.
