How do people use these Elektron compressors without a peak meter? Isn’t that necessary?

Trying to learn how to use the Digitone compressor and found this really useful video. Have to say compression has to be one of the trickiest things to learn with synths.
#Syntakt received a landmark update and now also #Tonverk. Who are you and what have you done with the #Elektron we all know? Did they lay off their entire #marketing #department? Did they grow a consciousness and become self-aware?
I feel Syntakt would have been much different instrument if they had implemented the sample engine from day 1 as they did now, four years later with the update 1.4. Arguably better instrument. Arguably more focused and more suitable for the musos. At least for me.
Tried to see what it’s like to do something experimental on a Digitone and it’s about as easy to use as an analog modular, I think. Took me about half hour to figure out how to record audio straight into an iPhone camera and had to use the Blackmagic camera app (amazing btw) and a Zoom U24. Used 3 tracks with “probability” triggers and 1 S&H LFO. Just 16 steps, looping. Of course not as powerful as a modular but so convenient and compact.
Such a power move from #Elektron to create a simple #wavetable #synth for their #audio #sampler #Tonverk in firmware 1.3. In its essence it's a creative development of the single cycle waveform synth engine in #Digitakt and I was hoping to see something like this back in the day, but then the songmode and Loopcloud integration updates happened and it all went to downhill from there.
Still, good that they now did it. Tonverk starts to feel more and more like a real instrument. But no Overbridge

Can't believe sample playback was added to #Syntakt drum machine with a free OS upgrade! #Elektron is absolutely unmatched when it comes to long-term support of their machines.

Syntakt levels up. OS 1.40 introduces Twinshot - a dual sample player machine offering a playful and versatile complement to Syntakt’s existing digital and analog possibilities. And that’s not all. This OS also brings a range of features that offer extra fun, more control, deeper sound design, and greater personalisation. Twinshot Syntakt’s newest machine is an unexpected one. Bringing sample playing to a device already covering so many Elektron bases really does solidify it as a heck of an...
@elektron.se #Elektron Thank you for the *massive* upgrade for #Syntakt, it's crazy!
