I don’t feel that an Octatrack/Digitakt/Digitone is quite a replacement for an OP-1. They may be better sequencers (I don’t have the relevant knowledge to claim whether or not they are), but I’ve always gotten the impression from professional musicians and composers that the appeal of the OP-1 is a combination of form factor and portability. It has keys in a piano layout which makes it easy to play on and it is in a small enough size that you can throw it in your backpack when traveling.
