Digitone II Feature Requests

I thought this sort of approach was a good idea too, I think I requested something pretty similar about a year ago.

I totally agree, that’s the whole point of it, if only we could ā€œsnap to scaleā€ once using the random LFO, that would make much more reliable ā€œin tuneā€ melodies

Random pitch is great for percussive and filler sounds, but not for melody…

It would be nice if the trigger condition ratios expands into two ratios against one like: 1&2 : 4, 3&4 : 4, Etc.

For being able to be more accurate with longer bar loops

Probabilistic partial chords would be so tight. I’d love if you could set velocity randomization ranges for notes in a chord too.

I know that it’s highly unlikely due to DT but I’d love very simple user sample playback so I can layer samples underneath synthesis (Ć  la Arturia Microfreak) to make real authentic dirty hip hop/boom bap drums. I can get close with the current pcm samples to add transients but huge area for improvement here. Perhaps nestled inside a future Granular synth machine?

Otherwise, I’m a simple man. Just dedicated track solo for me.

Having a Randomize action for the ARP would be so much fun, like holding the ARP button+YES? ((like any other randomizable parameter).

I’m sure this has come up before, but I’d love to see support for incoming relative cc messages (I think usually that’s 63 for ā€œ-1ā€ and 65 for ā€œ+1ā€). That way you could make more use of a midi controller without messing up a performance and causing sudden jumps.

Given that a ctrl+all stunt or a pattern switch completely changes parameter values without the midi controller knowing, I feel that support for relativt cc’s is especially important on Elektron boxes. :heart:

Would love to see an octatrack style LFO shaper or maybe an etch a sketch style one, maybe it could be added as an additional shape to the list of LFO shapes and the phase and fade controls could be replaced with X and Y controls for drawing it in. Or just have it as a submenu on the third LFO to switch to a drawable LFO type. Is this technically feasible with the architecture and cpu power?

Same on digitakt 2.

Sometime I want to make precise pitch bends, and while possible, it’s really quite difficult achieving this with the shape, phase, and fade controls.

+1, my faderfox ec4 is just sitting collecting dust because of this :upside_down_face:

When using overbridge, and changing patterns while recording automation in a DAW, recorded parameters don’t jump to the new positions in the new pattern. It would be helpful to have them jump to whatever positions the parameters are in the new pattern. Recording multi-pattern performances as midi cc automation tedious the way it works currently since you have to either slightly turn whatever knob you’re recording automation from or edit the automation manually after.

You can still use them for aftertouch, breath and mod wheel macros though. That’s at least 24 encoders. :blush:

Thanks for the suggestion, hadn’t though of using it that way. This avoids the parameter jumps?

Yes, it’s really neat that way. It’s a perfect bridge between kit performance mode and retaining individual patterns. Best of both worlds.

Being able to update all existing patterns with a new kit/track. I can only change tracks for empty or specific patterns, and I’d like it if I could apply all changes to tracks after as well as before I write notes to a pattern.

I’d like this but not for all existing patterns, just the ones that share a kit with the pattern you’re changing (kinda like it worked on the machines before the digis).

Another thing I’d really like is multitrack audio over USB, for those who don’t like using overbridge (for stability and latency reasons).

It would be nice to have user samples in the transient part of the FM drum synth.

Hey, that’s a great technique!

That’s be next level sh_t!

The Digitone 2 also happens to be a multi channel audio interface, so you already can do that, or am I missing something?
