Introducing Digitone II

yeah I misunderstood that part, I thought you bought second hand for 400…

not only :wink:

you completely misunderstood what I’ve said, I said I feel like I barely touched the surface of the DN, and I intend to spend time to dig into it once I’m finished with my current ongoing rytm project.

over the last couple of years I’ve heard insane things being done with the DN, various styles of music, various sounds, I’m not there by any means but I’ve heard what other people doing with it and I know this thing is deep and capable, I don’t think you can discredit the DN just because “limited tracks” or “that new thing has more”, that music was done on that machine, and that’s probably why you bought it too.
sure the timing of the purchase might be unfortunate but your comment came off as if you’re contemplating life choices just because a new thing came out, which is ridiculous imo… it’s just fomo… shake it off and move on, there’s only so much you can do about it anyway :slight_smile:

Does it have Poly Aftertouch as that would be useful if you are talking chord sequences?

No, but it now has KeyTracking as a modulation source - so you could apply different modulation per key - but nothing really anything like poly-aftertouch, it only has global aftertouch per track/channel

I think at this price and feature set it would be a bit much to ask that anyway. But thats a good workaround.

Do you ever need this? Would a transposition not just be a transient application of scale quantisation at play back?

Yes indeed

You’d have to lose conflicting notes. I don’t actually know what the OT does in this case. Will test.

I can totally see there are cases where behaviour will need to be defined and sometimes perhaps it will do unexpected things due to limitations (lose notes). But to me that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be musically useful to have this.

Certainly! OTO Boum in parallel mode , into IMC. Sounds pretty incredible (to me anyway)

Are the songs in the DN2 Playlist somehow available on DN2 as well?

of course it would be useful/preferable, but it’s not trivial to make robust or non-destructive or properly musical

In illustrating the edge cases you can understand the challenge of making it work - that was my point

My philosophy for the way things are implemented is usually why-this-way? and rarely why-not-differently? … i presume i don’t understand until i have thought about it - if it is definitely a case of why-not-differently i will pursue that, if i can follow it as why-this-way i accept it

sorta put yourself in the developers’ shoes as well as the users’ shoes, it makes for a lot less disappointment i think

Do you find it better than Heat + FX for mastering duties :)?

Ive already asked this. See afew posts just above.

Thanks, just snooping in and out at work :slight_smile:

DN Drums makes it way easier.
Transient parameter & noise + dedicated amp env and BP filter feels a bit like cheating.

16 notes in total. With dynamic allocation.

This is indeed missing for now.
I feel like MPE could also be implemented in the future.

But for now, what we have is already a blessing. To me at least.
As I said earlier, you can record velocity, length and microtiming per note within the same track.
It’s awesome.

Good launch by Elektron but not the same without Cenk!!

Where are these 2 new reverb algorithms? There is nothing to be found in the manual.

There are no new reverb algorithms, it’s the same reverb config unchanged. What you are quoting is wishful concept, i.e. how does this sound?

I think you’re slightly misunderstanding me. I’m not particularly disappointed - I mostly was surprised/interested in why you don’t think it can be implemented in a robust enough manner to be musically useful.

Let’s leave it here :slight_smile:

I was scratching my head on this one. What happened to the chord mode? :face_with_monocle:

Did you try my pack? A lot of people told me they liked these sounds - should be compatible with DN2 as well, quite interesting given the extra voice count.

Demos (a small selection of the sounds, tons more in there, from analog to acoustic to abstract)

Is it now possible to record PB/MW/AT/BC? that would be awesome for an update.

I meant for midi tracks.
16x16 possible ?
