I've had similar experiences with the MPC 1000 running JJOSXL - it can be as deep or as shallow as you need it to be. It's been the centerpiece in my setup for nearly 5 years and there are still entire areas of it I haven't explored yet.
I can understand the issue of working on a tiny screen, but I've never understood why so many people hold their noses at menu-diving - in the end it's all muscle memory?
JVBulman-
It also makes a difference when you want to change the filter q and delay send at the same time for example.
I think the effort they made to try and make the Oktatrack 'centrepiece' capable is part of the problem with learning the beast.
The MPC has always had a good interface based around velocity sensitive pads.

For me Elektron represents 'good value' lots of voices, a sequencer etc. Problem comes when you realise the work you have to do to unlock and maintain that using the tiny screen.
The Oktatrack is brilliant if you just use it to fire samples, it can do so much more but it is mental the way it's organised. I don't know how to access half the potential and I've owned it for years.
