Is there any other way to design sounds on an Elektron machine than twisting knobs? 
(sampling excluded, of course, but even for sampling you will normally twist some knobs)
Right 
But I meant exploring all the numerous sound possibilities hands on rather than studying some complex math or methods and trying to make something from that.
Iām going to start saving my sounds. Thanks for the tip.
(Iāve barely used sounds at all, they feel so clunky, but I should learn.)
I donāt think anyone is going to answer because those very specific questions are answered in the manual very specifically
Oh, my, Iām in the Digitone section! I was talking about Digitakt sounds. How embarrassing. Do excuse me.
(Iām still gonna start saving sounds though, on my DT!)

QUESTION!
Iām trying to replicate some of the preset patches on this nifty little device- parameter by parameter.
I finally get the sound similar- but I have to offset the playing octave to sync the two together- is there some page or parameter that Iām missing for synthesis?
If I understand correctly shouldnāt you be able to just set the octave of the carrier operator up or down? If this doesnāt work alone, then adjust the ratios of the modulators also?

Check the transpose setting?

Thanks for your replies- itās none of those. The operator ratio and keyboard are dialed into the exact same setting and I believe the transpose is connected to the sequencer and not the actual note(also, I checked that already 
)
On the LFO page there are Operator pitch destinations- as far as I know, those parameters arenāt available directly- perhaps the presets utilize parameters that arenāt open? Perhaps something for the 2nd page of the Syn1 page(#Hope)?
Mmmā¦donāt own one so no more wild guesses sorry

I appreciate the advice you managed to round up. Thatās like being broke but offering me the quarter in your pocket

Well, itās some parameterā¦ You have to hunt for it, track it downā¦ Maybe a dog could sniff it outā¦

Itās OS 1.02- a small detail like this is equally likely to be a bug as much as user error.
Given my knowledge of fm and this device- I couldnāt place a wager either way
FUNC+TRIG page button goes to the sound setup menu (I think? Not in front of mine right now). In that menu there is an octave setting that is different to the ātrig key octaveā setting.

Thatās it! Must be a bug that causes presets to load as an octave below
Edit: nvm thatās the default setting. Thanks for steering me in the right direction
(Also you were right on the money regarding the key combination)

I have a setup like this: Arturia KeyStep controller > Digitone > Other External Synths, all MIDI DIN. With the 1.02 update, I now have no problem using the KeyStep to sound notes on the Digitone, or using the MIDI tracks to sound notes on the external gear (just using Auto Channel, so MIDI 1 on CH 5, MIDI 2 on CH 6, etc.).
But, I canāt seem to get the external gear to respond to Pitch or Mod Wheel/Strip when going through the Digitone. If the KeyStep is connected to them directly, no problem. And the Digitone recognizes Pitch/Mod for its internal tracks. It just doesnāt seem to pass the modulations on to external gear. Iāve messed with the Sound Settings for Pitch, tried enabling the knobs in settings for the MIDI tracks to see if that would work. The external synths will respond to the Digitoneās knobs, but still doesnāt pass thru anything but notes from the controller.
Anyone else encounter this? Is this a user error, bug or a limitation? TIA!

I do apologyze. The informations I was looking for were actually in the manual but in a unexpected section of it (for analog machines user at least). Thank you

I cannot answer you questions but I was just looking into getting the Arturia KeyStep these days for use with the Digitone.
How do you deal with the lack of Bpm display if you want itās sequencer to sync properly? I cannot comprehend why they left out such an important feature but is there a way around it? Can you get the main clock tempo from the DN into the KeyStep while still playing the DN with it? I guess if you bring your laptop it isnāt a problemā¦
(Someone mentioned using an iPhone for BPM display but that seems quite a nuisance to set up each time.)
In this case, I do use the DN for clock. My exact setup at the moment is actually KS MIDI Out > DN MIDI In, and DN MIDI Out to a Quadra Thru which sends MIDI out to a Minitaur, a Peak, and SH-01A and to the KeyStep (for clock).
With the KS, I do usually use something else for clock, like the TR-09. If Iām in a setup without clock (like KS > Minitaur, or KS > Peak), I do use an iPhone with an app for metronome and setting BPM. Itās a nuisance, but itās worth it to me to have a $100 portable controller with a sequencer, arp and aftertouch. And sometimes, I donāt need to be able to set to exact BPM at all, and just doing it by ear is fine. But, I agree, the KS would benefit from a simple display, as well as a click.

Am I doing something wrong when using the conditional trigs/Microtiming using the 1:2/2:2 Condition?
Sometimes the trig still sound off-beat even when trig 1 is on step 1+ 1:2 āon gridā in micro timing and trig 2 is on step 2 with -23/384 (all the way to the left) + 2:2 = still off beat on this particular sound (have been succesfull on other occasions). - Is there some parameter on the patch I need to adjust when getting this result?
