Digitone feature requests!

Out of all the boxes the DN really needs more mod sources. More LFOs or just the ability to tie the Filter or amp envelope to mod other destinations.

Yesss, lfo + inversion would be magnificent.

Absolutely.
I find trigless locks are a good source of stepped modulation, but imagine if the DN had slide trigs - combining slides and trigless locks would open up a new world.

indeed!!!

The more modulations the better

… an LFO for the delay and/or reverb parameters, to get more interesting effects out of delay and/or reverb …

I was bummed out the other day that his feature is available on the Syntakt, but not on the Digis. Unless I somehow totally missed it :wink:

It’s possible with MIDI loopback (or midi sequencing from another machine) sent to the FX channel, but does involve working with the MIDI cc’s, one LFO and 8 parameters per controlling midi channel. Though yes, it’d be super cool to be able to control and lock them like the fx track on Syntakt does.

Hmmm! That’s still to be done via physically creating a loopback via midi cable, right? But I should look into it :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: Oh wait, when I have Digitakt and Digitone connected anyway can I send CCs from Takt to Tone and vice versa?

Yes, it’s a physical midi cable (and a standard one will do), and DT/DN should have to problem talking to each others’ tracks and FX channels at the same time.

@DaveMech had a cool video this summer about setting up performance macros (MW/BC/AT/PB sound controls) between DT/DN: Connect Digitakt + Digitone tutorial // Powerful and easiest method - YouTube , and I did one on making the DT control its own FX channel, all of which works on DN (in theory, I don’t own one but the feature set is near-identical). ST and DN can also loop-back to control and sequence their own performance macros, too.

Weird and wonderful machines!

Am I right, there’s no keyboard filter tracking in Digitone?

I’m pretty sure there is, in the set up menu where you can set a track to mono and set velocity mods etc.

Question from a simple man: what is it?

Keyboard note value affecting the filter cutoff frequency: the higher the note, the higher the cutoff frequency. In the Digitone it can be set between 0 and 100.

FILTER KEYTRACK in the Sound Menu? (FUNC+[TRIG])

Vel (velocity) as LFO destination for the audio tracks.
Then you can set up a macro for velocity modulation, you disable “vel to volume” and so you get a four parameters macro as lfo destination. Already possible with midi LFOs but in this case we could enjoy audio rates LFOs of the audio tracks and get a true FM modulation of four parameters in same time :nerd_face:

Lovely, thanks for the info!

I thought it’s already implemented so searched for vel parameter for half an hour)

Yes, this is killer idea and SHOULD be implemented!

Let’s flood Elektron support email)

In fact, I think it can already be done on the Digitone Keys. You have 2 have CV inputs on it and you can assign a 4 parameters macro modulation to them. So, in theory, it could be possible to send audio signal to modulate 4 parameters in the same time.
It could even be possible to take one of the individual outputs and send it to CV input.

Any user of the DK could confirm this ?

I guess it will work with DN and any external midi lfo (like from DT or M4L ) with cv it might be less discrete, but anyway it’s not the same as having additional internal mod matrix.

Yes, you can even do it with a single Digitone and a midi cable. The midi tracks can control the macro modulation of the audio tracks but you are limited by the rate of the midi lfo that can’t do FM. This is why “vel” as destination on the audio lfos would change everything (and why, in theory, the cv inputs of the DK could already make this kind of stuff…).
