Please push this to a full track, you got something in this little demo fo yours ^^

I am amazed how people manage to find such beautiful sounds in this synth!

Oh nice trick, at the moment we’ll have to do it like this, but it would be nice to copy the entire CHORD MEMORY programming at once and not slot by slot.
Let’s hope they implement it in a new firmware.

Thank you for answering

Wow! Great thinking, man. Can’t wait to try this out. With all this track layering, I’m soon going to be back at the standard eight voices and four tracks the digital one has… :sweat_smile: Worth it!

Excellent example of what the track layering feature can enable you to do! Not that it was not possible before, but removing the tediousness of duplicating things really supercharges creativity. I really hope they add this feature to the Syntakt as well!

The poly count reallllyyyy makes things like this possible. Another trick I’ve been doing is setting the 100% wet track to mono since it’s just adding sparkle anyways :tunga:

Great tip!

Connect your DN2 with an Akai MPC with the usb cable that comes with the elektron box.

Pull up the keyboard mode on the DN2, setup a scale and set root or spread chord, setup a plugin on the Akai MPC and jam away with chords. Amazingly fun!

So I’ d like to remember everybody that making SCENES and PUNCH IN FX with MIDI LOOPBACK is possible on DN2 too. Shoutout to Humanprogram for this very useful video I keep returning to.

Now that we have so many tracks I am experimenting with 1 midi track for each sound track and I am almost turning my DN 2 into a Machinedrum with CTRL-ALL.

My hydrasynth has preset melodies’s for the arpeggiator. Would be nice if the Digitone 2 had something similar. Sometimes is quite a hassle clicking and turn the knobs for the arp. Or am ibmissing something?

your arp settings are saved with your presets, though they are coupled with the rest of the sound on Digitones.

I meant that it would be nice if the arp page had some predefined arp presets which you could scroll through. Like a 303 baseline i.e.

When you convert a DN1 Project to DN2, Tracks 5-8 are automatically Midi Tracks on all Patterns on all Banks. If you then want to create a new Pattern and turn them into FM Tone Machines you’ll notice that they and Tracks 9-16 sound softer than Tracks 1-4. The Track, Velocity and Amp Levels are the same on all of them. However, you are not deceived, your Ears are still working correctly and you are definitely not crazy (well, depends…). Its just that those newly created FM Tone Machines also come with the new Velocity Curve while the ones on Tracks 1-4 from the DN1 still have the linear Velocity Curve.
