Isn't the Digitone II the most incredible and deep instrument from Elektron so far?

In my ranking of Elektron boxes, Digitone II is on first place (best of the best), OG Digitone on place 11 (second worst).

Is there a list? :slightly_smiling_face:

All Digitone II with some control-all and mutes.

EDIT: oh and I meant to say that I used some of the sounds from the DN SYS_CDX packs by @eocyte

Made a little YouTube channel, first video is a live session courtesy of our beloved DN2. Not my best track but some fun sound design ideas in there, like using FM Tone for shaping chords with dual envelopes

I’m really surprised by everything you’ve done on Digitone 2. I know you can do anything with it, but it takes a lot of knowledge and creativity, congratulations. :space_invader:

Noisy and glitchy yes but somehow organic. Feels like you put a lot of work into this. Sounds really good to my ears.

Messing about with some 3/3 timing (or something like that! has 9 steps on a single page), quite limiting seq-wise, so can be fun to fill the gaps with trig conditions and ctrl-all stuff…

Fun fact, Pops Guiro is a pulse-like wave (and only sounds right if the pitch fluctuates slightly), 78 Guiro is amplitude modulated filtered noise [at a specific pitch/rate, specific shape etc.]. Strong differences between seemingly sameish sounds (be it a Conga) throughout these machines …

Totally agree the DN2 is the GOAT UI-wise. Didn’t get the sounds I wanted out of it initially, so it has been on a shelf for a few months. But I have been trying to minimize to the extreme, and thought Tonverk + one more piece of kit could suffice, since the Tonverk can do so much.
Then i dragged the DN off the shelf, just for sake of the experiment. And suddenly I had this mindblowing aha-moment as I noticed I was gravitating more and more away from the Tonverk and towards the DN. I re-programmed the parts I had on the Tonverk, onto the DN. Now I’m suddenly wondering if I can get by with only the DN2. Go figure!
Something clicked - and as many here are saying, there just doesn’t seem to be much that can’t be done on the DN2. As a mobile setup I’m thinking the DN2 is more capable than the Tonverk in a lot of ways (16 tracks, more synth options, easier/more logical to program). Is it just my ADHD tricking me?

OK, make a realistic piano sound like this one. :slightly_smiling_face:

(or the thing at 10:45 in that video)

You really need a DN2 plus (at least) some sort of sampler to make that claim.
