Introducing Digitone

I think Digitakt and Digitone are to expensive in EU (for me) , almost 800 eur.

When DT was coming out i had impression it will be more like 600, but not 800.

edit:

i am looking at thomann, if you guys have some better option for EU, can you please let me know?

You enter notes for the MIDI tracks in the same way as you enter them for the synth tracks. If you want to add more than one note to a sequencer step, either use live recording or you can use grid recording and use either the track note method or the quick note method (10.2.3-4 in the manual).

Only one LFO for the MIDI tracks yes.

The arpeggiator settings are part of a Sound so the arpeggiator only available for the synth tracks. I will make this a bit more clear in the manual.

I know I should buy Maschine MK3, but DN is so enticing.
I gave up on waiting for updates on the DT and sold it… but if they add the filters from the DN to the DT it will be hard to resist getting another DT. Got hard to control the bass freq at time on the DT

Do I get the MK3 and continue focusing on sampling as my primary sound source or do I move into synthesis as my main sound generating thing…

Really after owning the DT, the though of a Plockable synth that can generate drum sounds has me excited… and is digital (because that’s my thing, I like weirdness in sound)

Someone above wisely suggested I buy the MK3 as it’s a good hub for the studio, but I think this and the Op1 being piped into Reason10 also would be pretty great. The new Grain synth in R10 combined with the DN would be make for some wild sonic adventures. I think ima do it… and if those DT updates ever come I have a nice spot on my desk for the DT

Digitone got a similar signal path to what A4 or AK has regarding how the filters, envelopes, lfo etc. are working.
I suspect that the flagship synth descendant of AK will be a device that has eight tracks and each track can have different machines (analog from A4 MKII, digital FM from Digitone and maybe a sampler from AR) and the signal path is built on the analog circuits (overdrive, filters etc.) :slight_smile:

Looking good for chord entry!

10.2.3 GRID RECORDING USING TRACK NOTE METHOD
is good… does the Chord knob do anything there? So instead of adding notes manually to create a chord on a step can we just turn the Chord knob (G) to choose from available chords on the current scale and root note?
Is there a way to adjust individual note velocities for each note on a step and add microtiming offsets to the notes to create strummed chords?? That would add so much musical potential in Grid Recording!!!

Also, please please add pentatonic scales!!

The DT is looking great !

How to Digitone

Going by the current demos would the DN be good for techno baselines.
Tossing up between DN and Moog DFAM for this purpose.

I was just about to post this :smiley:

But now Elektron will HAVE to put that photo of Cenk inside every box, otherwise no deal! :smile:
