I've got the Seqtrak and so far I don't regret it. From now on it will only get better thanks to the firmware updates that are yet to come. Thumbs up for the Seqtrak!

[@jamesthehype]

I've got the KO Ii and it is intuitive and fun. I'm blown away by how powerful the Seqtrak is, though, for not much more money

[@ilikeitdark13]

I'm torn between these two....I would use it at live gigs in small, dark underground places...along with a few other devices (circuit Rhythm and Uno Synth Pro)... doing noisy, lofi stuff...which is best in your opinion?

[@Goth108]

Oh please. I can read feature lists just fine. What they sound like when programming the exact same thing each, now that would have been interesting.

[@GullySyde28]

Circuit tracks or Ko2?

[@ichigen511]

Sounds like a win win either way you choose. This is a good case for why capitalism and competition are good for the consumer.

Here's the video that convinced us to buy the KO II. The Yamaha has very Electribe vibes, and we may just ave to pick that one up too
