Digitone II Feature Requests

Would love to be able to

  1. Have a fast dedicated Volume Knob when auditioning Presets.
    Some Presets can kill eardrums and also would be useful when auditioning samples in context which could be a low level mixed Project for some reason would be one example.
  2. Be able to store this Level for the Preset on the spot so it is its Default Volume.

not sure where to post this but could anyone hook me up with the original presets for the digitone 1 and digitone keys?

I have a lot of sounds i made in there and when i got the digitone 2 they werent included, been driving me crazy missing some of those!

Not sure of the legality of uploading them but yeah, the DN1 presets were WAY better than the DN2 presets. Elektron should put them on their web site.

I mean I made them so I don’t see how it would be a problem

The files are compatible. I pulled everything out of my DN1 and put it in my DN2 using Transfer.

Presets, projects… it all worked.

@Flekk Agreed. I absolutely hate 99% of the DN2 presets. All that aggressive/dark ambient shit. Terrible.

Something akin to Ableton corpus!!

PCM machine,

Transient machine but not drum based. Small transient samples , for piano/guitar sounds etc like found on old Yamaha/casio keyboards. (See Yamaha pss a50 for reference)

Inspired by @Jeanne’s CoreVault and VintageVault packs, I’ve come back to the DN2 with fresh eyes/ears. The synthesis is great and varied but I’m now feeling that the 3 send effects (chorus, delay and reverb) are getting tired and contributing to the sameness of the sound.

What I would like to see is FX Machines. A choice of different reverbs (start with possibly porting the Tonverk’s Rumsklang and Steel Box models), delays (good tape, BBD and multitap models) and mod fx (phaser, flanger etc.).

As someone that makes extensive use of reverbs and delays in achieving the textures and ambience I like, it feels like these same fx from the A4 days are holding back the full possibilities of the DN2.

Yep. Put them where the ā€œBit reductionā€ is, let each track have a selectable effect (fourth page on the FX editing pages is specific to the current track - lets you choose/adjust an effect).

Yeah, and please the Analog Four/MnM Chorus. That and something Clouds-like would be nice (so it’s not always Delay). And also the possibility to use an effect multiple times, e.g. three times reverb or two times delay and one phaser …

Yes, but please not the ones from Tonverk.

I love you, Elektron, but those two effects are trash.

Just as ā€œFilterbankā€

Apart from per-track effects, something like the ā€œFXā€ part of the Analog Heat+FX at the end of the signal chain…

(plus special FX tracks to sequence it).

(Though the AH +FX as well has only that Digichorus :S )

Really really wish the mute function wasn’t tied to the sequencer

why the fuck is the arpeggiator disabled on the midi out of DN2??? for both midi tracks and individual track midi note output…why??

Parameter lock Side Chain on a Trig basis. Or be able to modify the Side Chain parameters with an LFO (ideally on a Trig level)

Note as per the rules I’m not encouraging people to install custom firmware as you could damage your machine.

However some brave souls have managed to get midi Arp running on the DN2 via custom firmware.

I hope noting that this is technically possible falls under ā€œgeneral discussionā€

A flanger effect!
