Syntakt: are 12 tracks enough? Talk & Jam

Elektron Syntakt for me has been the most plausible upgrade from model cycles. It improves my favorite drum machine in nearly all aspects while retaining the compact format. Syntakt now is more than just a drum machine, but are 12 non-polyphonic tracks enough to make it a stand-alone workstation for dawless pleasure? There will be no general answer but in this video I present some specific arguments and a midi performance feature that I find rather important in this context.

The second part of the video shows my 12 tracks demo jam recorded directly from the Syntakt stereo out using my good old Tascam DR-2d.
