For anyone interested, I did a little 2 hour deep dive live stream with the Digitone 2 a few days ago. I try to explain everything I’m doing and answered some of the questions from the chat 
(the video is up, it just has the default “missing thumbnail” thumbnail, sadly)
better than “shocked youtube face” thumbnail 
I’m for it 
i’m totally in , for me “shocked youtube face”= video for dumb people, i never click on it
Started watching this and will watch more tomorrow. Thanks for sharing it!
I’m a little more comfortable on this machine now a couple days in. Messed around with FM Drum for an hour or two. Really fun.
Briefly started messing around with the comb filter, but haven’t yet been able to get into Octatrack territory of weirdness yet, but will keep poking away
ned rush nailed it
each to their own, but i feel like these thumbnails will become a bit like smoking and everyone will realise they’re bad for you.
Those who use Digitone together with Ableton - could you tell me why you prefer it over Operator?
I can’t decide if I should get the machine (I’m such a sucker for those woody, mallet and bell sounds) to pair it with Live or just keep using Operator. Sound design in DAW, except maybe sample related, is quite boring for me.
first for me operator is part of suite , and i just have standard.
i don’t like to edit automations with a daw & mouse or just using a computer for music making.
basically a digitone is a rather simple fm engine but wrapped with a soustractive filter, and any number of automation lanes you want (never reached the max plock count ) and even soundlock on a single track x4 that is easy and musical to use. plus 3 very good effects and 4 midi channel in a 21cm x28cm space that you can play live. without any mouse, antivirus or fucking windows hello and updates & notifications making ding dong when you start your machine.
i’d recommend trying it for yourself and finding out.
i vastly prefer it 
the only real difference is we don’t have elektronauts on digitone and can just make music or noise !
why people can’t make the difference between a computer and a musical instrument i don’t know.
it’s like asking a guitarist why he use a guitar instead of kontakt no ?
Not sure where you are heading with this. I don’t have issues with people making music with a software or hardware.
I just asked (maybe I wasn’t clear enouh) why would someone personally prefer Digitone over Operator.
Tchaikovski on the Digitone 2…
does operator have a filter ?
I would say that the (original) Digitone has a specific sound which differs from Operator. In part this is def due to the effects, but also because of its simplified interface, number of operators, its filters, feedback implementation and maybe most importantly its internal oversampling:
Personally, I never really gelled with the Operator interface, although it’s obviously very powerful. It comes down to a matter of taste. I vastly prefer the sound and interface of the Digitone, but if you enjoy Operator and know how to use it well, it might be redundant.
Also check Digitone versus Ableton Live Operator.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I’m signed in on the app but I can’t seem to play any embedded YouTube videos. I really want to watch this!
Private message I could watch it embedded on iphone, and I can watch it imbedded in the post reply from my company laptop (LOL) but not from my iphone!
Am I a bot? How could this happen to me?
Andertons is my fav! I’ve never had a better customer experience for the past 40 years 
I was super super excited for the DN2 as well and I ordered from them and received it the next day and I was able to pour my excitement into the device.
About DN2, i must admit i didn’t gel particularly well with dn1, but then again i didn’t know much about fm synthesis back then (many years ago). but having wavetable, fm drum and swarmer increasing variance of the palette quite a bit and i’m expecting more machines with future updates. i guess DN2 has potential to become the best all-rounder digital synth and much more than “just” an fm synth (like dn1)
yep
How’s the highhat game on digitone?
This is a good question. Ive had operator for years and there’s still so much to it beneath the surface that keeps it interesting. It’s a very deep synth, but as you said it’s maybe not always that fun or ‘instant’ to dial in the sound design, at least not in the same way as the digitone is. As much as I really hate the whole ‘tactility’ argument when it comes to hardware vs software, I have to concede that with the digitone it is nice to just sort of feel your way around it, and param and sound locking really comes into its own with FM too, in a way that obvs you can’t really do with software (id argue that dialling in automation isn’t really the same thing as param locks anyway). Ive actually never really considered them to be comparable instruments tbh but then again I dont really use hardware and software at the same time, it tends to be one or the other. I briefly owned a Kodamo Essence but got rid of it pretty soon once I realised that it just felt like Operator in a box, which is something ive never really felt about the digitone.
Before I walk tomorrow and once again feed the gas daemon:
I didn’t witness any screen issues here on the forum with Digitone2’s.
Is it that way?
Everyone’s happy?
Bonusquestion: Hows high hats on it?
I’m asking because I sold my Digitone with announcement of Digitakt2 because I correctly guessed Digitone2 will be next.
I miss it, because it’s a good module.
Yooo this is nice. Would you mind sharing the brand you have these on? I’m looking into getting one for my trinity.
