No problem. I am somewhat new to the M8, but wanted to get a multitimbral synth to sequence with it and thought the Digitone II might hit that. It is them both being FX engines that make me worry about the overlap. Previously, I was considering the Nymphes and MegaFM (also FM). I had hesitated on the Digitakt II as samples are of lesser interest in the M8 than the sequencing and making noises, but I thought perhaps the Digitakt II might do enough more with samples to make it more interesting.
Well⦠very much unlike Shania Twain, this does impress me much! Congratulations to all at Elektron for another fantastic instrument!
When the DT2 came out, I was unsure if it was worth the upgrade from my DT1 but decided to take the chance and realised that what I thought was quite a modest upgrade was a really great one, and Iām thinking the upgrade to DN2 looks to be much more significant⦠Iāve not even watched anything except the announcement video and the āat a glanceā video, Iām sure by the end of it Iāll be even more enamoured.
Not in a rush to upgrade as Iāve got a few projects to finish before I could dig into it, plus I do need to rusky up some pennies. Sorry Ableton, your Move looks all kinds of ace but youāve been gazumpedā¦
Hi,
Can we import projects ( sequence and sounds) from digitone 1 to 2 ?
yes to both
Listening to the Substan tracks on the Digitone og i have to say that its not the gear but how you use it. His tracks sound better than what ive heard so far on the new shiny model.
Yes. Both.
Ok, thanks, now I need to save money.
Would be interesting if we can emulate the piano sound with an dtII and a sample from DT1ā¦.sequenced by DT2 and triggles trigs + combfilterā¦but for that we need comb+ on DT2 i guessā¦morph morph morph
DN1 I mean
Gotta please the investors.
DNll looks cool, but slide trigs etc would have been nice. Also iād prefer elektron to bugfix the other machines first instead of pumping out llās
Wait until he plays tracks on the new shiny model.
Looks nice, but Iāll wait for the bug thread and Overbridge!
yo Jus imagined ā¦. If the new synths were added to mk1 my moustache would fall off ā¦. Iām too attached to mk1 to sell ā¦. So thatās cool as I can wait for a few bug fixes to pass firstā¦. its got my attention
Two maybe dumb qs I couldnāt answer by reading the manual:
-
do trigs on MIDI tracks count as voices used? hope not but the implementation of MIDI tracks is different from DN1 soā¦
-
no MIDI arp per se but what if you use an arp on a synth track and layer it with a MIDI track�
No, there would be 16 voices available to the total remaining Audio tracks
good question !!
I donāt think you can layer a midi track but Iāll check.
Would be awesome if that worked! Canāt wait for mine
Can you elaborate on this? Iām not sure what you mean.
If you want a multimbral synth, the DN series are excellent.
You will need to commit to wanting to sample and use the DT as its own instrument to be happy with it. Not a problem, but if youāre on the fence about it, figure out what you want most.
doesnāt seem like it does but would sure be awesome if it could
