Hi all,
Does anyone know of any great wind like sounds on the Digitone, or the best way to build such a sound?
To make a really convincing wind sound you need a bandpass filter and a slewed stepped random signal. It would be pretty challenging without those tools, not to mention the lack of a regular white noise source.

Okay, thanks. I will give it my best shot on the Digi and see what I can do.

Some things to build on @RobertSyrett’s suggestions: high operator feedback will be the best source of noise, play with algorithms and ratios for tonal variations. & the two LFOs will help you out with the lack of smooth random, like modulating the speed of a triangle LFO with a random waveform of another, plus the fade options on the LFOs can help with movement.

Great points, thanks!
It can be done on there, I did a nice Melotron style Flute, don’t have it anymore, otherwise I’d send you the patch. I imagine it would have been the 1st algo, slow attacks on all, pitch mod and maybe feedback mod from lfos. No idea what ratios, I was going for strings so I think it would have maybe been 1/8/not sure.
Actually made some good progress on this. Got a wind sound using ALG4. LFO on Freq and Pan, lots of reverb, some chorus (makes it sound like wind rushing through small channel), then P-Locked Res, Volume, Starting Freq, Starting Pan, length, and note, and set up a bunch of % trigs.
I will post the track when done.

Alright, here is what I came up with. It does sound like a mix between surf and wind, but I am happy with the results. Thoughts?

That’s awesome! I’d love to know more for noob like me.
Sorry for being very late at this topic 
Wonderful track and sound. Would you still happen to have this and would you like to share the patch? My daughter is having a concert and is wondering how to make a wind soundscape with the digitone.
Hey sorry, I sold the Digitone about a year ago, and don’t have the patch.
