Okay so one CAN make it work by sending the program change AHEAD of the note using a "trigless trig" as it's called on the #digitakt. Requires some careful thinking though, especially if you want to have a track that triggers different sound effects from the #xv2020 somewhat randomly. Basically you need to "roll the dice ahead of time" and then make the actual trig only trigger if the previous "trigless trig" also triggered. 🤔 The terminology could use some work... 🤷

Alright, that tiresome Roland fanboi in me struck again and got himself an old XV-2020 for early Christmas. Why? I want to compare it to the JV-1010 I have already and then keep only one of those.

Technically the JV-1010 has more presets BUT the XV-2020 supposedly sounds better AND it can take SRX expansions. One of those called "Ultimate Keys" contains most (if not all) of the older "Vintage" and "Keyboards of the 60s & 70s" SR expansions and would presumably be my choice for sonic awesomeness. Since I proudly self-identify as a "bleeps and bloops" kinda person.

And if despite expectations it turns out that the XV-2020 is shite... Well... The average price in Germany seems to be 220 Euros and this one only was 189 Euros. So... 🤷
