Digitone II Feature Requests

Let lock trigs affect arps

Default TRIG note should be the Root when using scale mode.

Seems like an oversight to me. If I set a key with no C, then why would I want the default note for manual trigs to be a C?

[impbox]

Drums are a good example of why you might not want this.

I personally miss the behaviour of A4 where the default note is the last note played via keyboard.

But I think there should be a per track setting to decide whether it follows the scale or not, since the scale doesn’t make sense for all instruments.

• Possibility to layer midi tracks from audio tracks and midi tracks
• Control All for Note parameter as on ST and DT…
• Setting for Key Tracking breakpoint note (C5 is the only choice.

(There is a workaround but it would be simpler)

I’ve requested this directly to Elektron with the Digitone and Digitakt before but wanna gauge support

Quick Sound Lock

Hold a trig in grid record mode and press the [Preset/Kit] button to open to the preset browser.

Release the trig (optional)

Select a preset and it is automatically loaded to the sound pool and sound-locked to the trig.

Sound is only loaded to the sound pool if it isn’t already there, otherwise the already loaded one is locked to the trig

Edit: I realized the last point is not technically possible. One solution is to have each entry in the sound pool remember where it came from, and this is indicated in the browser by an icon, and when the sound is selected, the user can choose to use the corresponding sound in the pool (even if it has been modified from the +DRIVE version), or add it to the pool.

Add more stops to Func+Param in Modulation Setup menus

-128 … -64 … 0 … 64 … 128

Instead of just

0

unidirectional channel link

cause if 1 and 2 are linked, you can play/edit 1 and hear 2, but you can’t hear 1 when you play/edit 2

@Prints

most synths with audio inputs have the ability to route the audio through the synth stages so they can be affected by the VCA/filters/etc.,

With key tracking and a band pass filter you would get a fun vocoder!

[Prints]

Another thing I don’t get is how Elektron has already implemented LFOs that can track the oscillators with the A4 and proven how useful they are, yet they don’t implement them in the DN2. Why?

[wws]

just curious, how does an LFO track an oscillator?

[palstatt]

You mean like key tracking the LFO rate?

[impbox]

yep, it’s a feature on A4, and it would be very nice on DN2, the LFO multiplier has an extra set of options with a tuning fork icon and it’s a frequency related to the note played.

[wws]

@impbox

it’s a frequency related to the note played.

I haven’t tried it yet (getting through finals…), but seems like you could use key tracking, since you can modulate things in the MOD pages? Probably a different vibe at the very least, and I might be wrong altogether.

[impbox]

nah, it’s quite different, key tracking modulations are linear, and pitch needs to be logarithmic if you want the LFO frequency to track the note frequency.

[wws]

@impbox

key tracking modulations are linear, and pitch needs to be logarithmic if you want the LFO frequency to track the note frequency

Oh, that’s interesting. … I will have to experiment someday…

(It seems like you can calibrate the key tracking to give you an LFO at twice the frequency for C3->C4, but then it will be 3 times the frequency for C4->C5 if it’s linear but 4 times if it’s multiplicative. I am not sure which I would prefer…)

[thomaso]

Yeah. Its a feature they should have added to all their products!

@sezare56

Possibility to have less Detune on Unison Spread when you want max Pan Spread. 2 independent settings with encoders B and C ?
2 lines waiting for parameters…

I have wanted this since Digitone 1. The stereo spread is too narrow without excessive detune.
Here’s an example of the 3rd Wave synth which has separate stereo spread and detune.

1st part is mono, no detune.
2nd part I turn up the stereo spread, no detune.
3rd part I turn up the detune.

Really wish the name of currently opened project was displayed on the screen.
I created something a couple of days ago - I really liked it , was so excited about developing it into something - and then last night I saved what I was doing with some new patterns/sounds, and it overwrote the earlier project. So fucking gutted

[astricii]

I don’t follow what this is about?

[impbox]

PRE-FILTER AND POST-FILTER OVERDRIVE!

Instead of having overdrive routing, the parameter could be replaced with one to control the post filter overdrive. It could be migrated from previous versions to set the appropriate one and the other to zero.
