Any recommendations on a drum synthesizer vs a sample based drum machine? I have a Volca Drum that does an okay job but really my heart is set on getting and learning a Digitakt. I was sold an MPC One as a drum machine but quickly realizing it's more of a PC-less setup and sample based machine which I'm not in love with. Should I get a Digitakt to synthesize and sequence drum lines instead or is there a better piece of hardware for this?

It's 1/4" with a single ring at the very tip. Nothing in the manual on if its line-level, but the Scarlett manual says synths are line-level so it \*should\* be? The Volca Drum just has a headphone out with a cable which goes from stereo 3.5mm to stereo 1/4". If I understand it right (big if) stereo cables are all TRS balanced so it should be fine?.

Your Volca Drum really excels at making weird and modern percussive sounds, so you definitely don't need another weird drum machine. But it can be difficult to make full songs with just that, so assuming that is your goal, what kind of songs do you want to make?. It is also totally valid to not care about making full songs and instead just wanting to jam around and have fun, but never record anything. That's good info to know too, as that would also influence my suggestions.
