Digitone II Feature Requests

How should that work? Per pattern? Or in song mode?

Arp midi out pls

Or redirecting some of the audio track resources to additional effectsā€¦
But yeah, Iā€™d be ok with a AFX track like on ST, that would only be available on track 16.

Hm, good question. I guess I was thinking it would be per pattern.

MIDI retrig

Allow adding retrig to trigs on MIDI tracks.

Arp random and chord mode, possibilities to modulate Arp parameters with lfos, modulations, plocks.

Multi Map. Btw does DN1 have Direct Jump as Multi Map setting like A4 ?

Notes overdub in Live Rec (at least donā€™t erase previous notes by recording notes with longer lengths).

(Iā€™m thrilled to see DN2 fulfilling a request I made for DN1, the ability to easily use a track as a monophonic drum machine. The preset pool trig mode takes care of it :smiley:)

  • Have the four buttons in the bottom right illuminate in DN track colors during the boot sequence. An absolute must!

  • The second trig page has two empty slots. Those could hold p-lockable MW and AT knobs.

Monomachine slides

Place a slide trig on a parameter locked trig and have the parameters morph towards the next p-locked trig. Trigs in between that are not parameter locked are affected by the interpolation but do not reset the interpolation.

Scenes that have a timing interval, and interpolate parameters . i.e. offsets that will move over a configurable set of 0,1,2,4,8,16,32 bars. (Like its done on NI Maschine) Scenes should react to a midi CC on a performance channel so they can be sequenced externally, or internally on the performance channel.

Polyphonic Aftertouch!

Yes! Glad to know Iā€™m not alone in this. I was considering selling my og digitakt + hydrasynth explorer for the digitone II, but the PolyAT is so much of a dealbreaker to me since Iā€™m a keyboardist. I mean the CS-80 had it already and itā€™s almost 50 years old! But apart from that feature, it seems super powerful I think

  • presets filtered per machine
  • performance macros and performance mode like in A4
  • per track on the fly transpose from keyboard with scale taken into consideration (A4 has such thing, although scales limited there to just min and maj)
  • multiple layers groups
  • track cue to headphones (if itā€™s possible at all from software levelā€¦)

Track Select Behavior (Config Menu Option)

If we could get a toggle menu option to change the behavior of track selection:

Play Sound: ON (default) / OFF

I would find it faster and extremely useful in a live performance setting to be able to select my active track with one button press (TRIG) rather than two (TRK + TRIG). This is similar to behavior on the original Digitone where the tracks are on dedicated buttons, so you could single press them to rapidly change them as the active track for what you are live playing.

BRR post filter possibility.
Scaled glissando.

(Overdrive, SRR and BW can be pre/post, which is already a great improvement)

One small thing, more banks for presets :wink:

Recording of Controll-all and Breathcontroller/Aftertouch/Pitchwheel/Modwheel groups

The sound design possibilities are endless with ctrl-all ā€” please let me record them to all tracks (selected) ā€¦ also with Aftertouch mod groups etc.

Let me switch between pool and banks

In track mode when pressing FUNC + Volume/Pool I only can browse sound banks not my pool (and I canā€™t switch to pool)

more destinations in MOD/LFO

add more destinations

  • Note + Note Velocity (preferably also with a scale applied?)
  • Arp (pleaaaase?)
  • Retrigs (!!)
  • Voice setup: Unison, spread
  • Machines
  • Aftertouch-, Breathcontroller-, Modulationwheel-, Pitchbend-, Velocitymod (this would open soooo many possibilities to group parameters!)

Realtime visualization of MOD and Aftertouch/Breathcontroller/Velocitymod overrides for each parameter

Maybe add a pixel-point to every parameter that shows you the real value when itā€™s modified by LFOs ā€”so important imho!

Dump LFOs to sequence

write all LFO values to sequence so you could reuse the LFOs for something new

Naming of MIDI CCs and MiDi Kits

So we can have MIDI presets for specific synthesizers e.g.

MIDI out for synth machines

Echo the local sequence and send it to MIDI out (like on Rytm) ā€” this would make it work better with visuals / lighting consoles for a/v design

Locked parameter subpage indicator

Locked parameters currently show which main page theyā€™re on, but they should also show which subpage theyā€™re on via flashing or indicating the vertical dots on the right of the screen.

Random seed reset

Random seed reset every X steps, so you can have randomisation but still have a consistent groove. Could be in page setup, or Setup menu.

ARP P-Locking

Arp parameter locking would be amazing, but seems unlikely since the arp settings are part of the preset not the sequence.

Complex Wavetables for WAVETONE

More wavetables would a big thing. Vocal/formant type stuff especially, a well curated selection of interesting and diverse wavetables would hugely expand the range of DN2.

LFO Designer 2

A return of LFO designer! Such an amazing feature that would add so much in terms of interesting modulation possibilities.
Press [YES] while on one of the MOD pages to open the LFO Designer.

Ā° change page led color in personalize menu (blue&green , red&blue,ā€¦)
(due to being slightly colorblind I sometimes have trouble seeing on which page I am when editingā€¦Itā€™s the same on DT2)
Ā° equalizer would be more useful(to me) when you could swap it with the base/width filter. In combination with the comb tilters or a high resonant filter it would be really helpful to filter out some unwanted frequenties or shape your sound a bit further. A 2 or 3-band equalizer would be even better.
Maybe implement it as a ā€œmodeā€? BW-mode & EQ-mode?

Different led colors for TRACK and PATTERN selection!
Or no led for track selection.

This annoys me A LOT on Digis since OG Digitakt release. I oftenly change pattern instead of track. I canā€™t believe it is still as is. Dimmed difference doesnā€™t suffice. I simply canā€™t imagine playing live because of this. I canā€™t get use to it.
