When I talked to Simon at the Superbooth last year and asked him for a songmode he said: âmost likely noâ BUT he promised that theyâll implement a REALLY complicated pattern chain mode where you can add, remove and shift patterns around. He said it will be as good as a song mode.
Well, several months later it is not even possible to save the chain but I honestly hope Elektron sticks to what they promised literally!

in one of the YouTube videos talking to Simon it was mentioned, they doubled the processing power in the Digitone. No clue which one it was unfortunately, but can confirm itâs out there somewhere
âŚlater someone explains that no more features can be added because of that half processing powerâŚ
circle.
Oh wow, yet only 4 tracks⌠Must be a hungry little monster that Digitone!
Was this mystery solved? This is the first Iâve heard of this as well.
It is solved. Mentioned in a video by Simon.
Apparently they have added/doubled the processing power in the Digitone. Surprisingly at no extra cost because both boxes cost exactly the same

More bizarre that Digitakt didnât at least have this to begin with.
Digitone is only 8 voice and 100% digital, far from a dsp powerhouse itself.
I think the limiting factor may be USB bandwidth.
How many voices can they theoretically stream through that connection via OB 
People will compare the stars to goat urine, if its going to give them an excuse to complain.

Cool for the Digitone. I hope that thereâs enough power under the hood on the DT to get everything working properly. :-/

I refuse to believe theyâve painted themselves into a corner like that. Besides, several of the requested features shouldnât be very CPU hungry.
Product designer at NAMM said they doubled the processing chip from the Digitakt
In one of the namm videos Cenk hinted that the DT might be getting audio through like the DN. This would be super useful as it would mean you could have a couple of boxes permanently plugged into the DT inputs for playing as well as sampling, without the need for an extra mixer.
So yeah, audio through please!

could you point me (us) to this, please? thanx a lot
feature request, from Digitone manual:
LAYER Makes it possible to trig two or more tracks with the same note from the sequencer or the key- board. For example, if you on track 1 set LAYER to a ect track 2 then every note you play on track 1 also plays on track 2, e ectively playing two Sounds at the same time. Tracks that are layered to the active track have lled squares in the parameter representation on the screen.
would be cool in Digitakt too i guess

Yeah I saw the video too. So for the same money as a Digitakt you can get a box with twice the processing power. Makes me wonder why the Digitakt didnât get more power as well. Makes for easier expansion later on unless they need a reason to say expansions not possible due to processing power limitations.
Probably because it didnât need it? Sampling is less processor-intensive than synthesis. Also re price keep in mind that the DT has hardware that the DN doesnât, like larger RAM.

Thatâs true, good point! I hope it doesnât need it. Would be a big bummer if we canât get the Digitone filters or other stuff due to lack punch.
Thatâs pretty cool stuff. You can sort of do this with neighbour conditions I think. Not the same but might get you close-ish.

Please increase the 128 samples per project limit if possible. Bumping it up to 256 would be nice!

More than anything I hope they enable stereo monitoring before I get my DN(by like 02/26)- donât even really need the send FX on the incoming channel- just want to sample the DN on it without having to change my audio configuration
Thanks
