Say this word out loud or in your head:
Digit
Now say this word out loud or in your head:
Digital
Did you say “Diggit” or “Diggital” for either of the above?
I didn’t either.
So why do I constantly hear YouTubers refer to the Digitone and Digitakt as “Diggy-tone” and “Diggy-takt”?
Every time I hear it my nerves twitch a little bit. 
Just needed to get that out. That is all.
(P.S. over in North America, we pronounce Plaits as Plates, and not Platz)
It’s a Swedish machine.
Do Swedes say “Diggit” and “Diggital”? Honest question.
Even when referring to hairstyling?
Yup. I looked into it because of all the MI Plaits reviewers calling it “Platz”. It’s legit pronounced Plates in North America and Platz elsewhere.
Both are correct depending on where you live.
When I first saw the module I was like “Neat, Plates!”.
Sure! When Americans start pronouncing words correctly, we’ll talk about pronunciation 
Shoulder.
Solder.
Why is that so hard?
no one cares how you pronounce things in an international culture, unless you are learning a different language and want to get the meaning correct
I’ll check with my wife, who is both a hairdresser and American, what she would say 
Update: I asked, and it was confirmed that no American she has ever met on either coast, nor north or south, says plate(s) either.
I’d rebut that I’m Canadian but I’m not sure that scores any points! There are some…odd linguistics around this parts to say the least.
How would you call inhabitants from your continent? 
In fairness to our American cousins, they went to war (and won) and fought for the right to exclude extraneous vowels in their words.
That is near enough a banned word in my house. I say Solder. She says “Sodder” Arguments erupt. Tears flow. Accusations and bitter recriminations abound. Divorce lawyers are called; discussions about ownership of furniture and custody of the kids are started. 
North Americans! Though when Americans refer to Canadians as “Just Americans from the North” we get a little uptight
Ah, those Southern Canadians!
Lololol. I like how you think!
Nope dude, your continent is called America, north America being just … its northern part. So you and some peruvians and other people from Guatemala are all americans.
%100 correct. 
I am not Swedish. I am Canadian, like you. I do not speak Swedish. I have visited Sweden twice. Everyone spoke excellent English.
My understanding is that “digital” is a loan word in Swedish, that is, there is no native equivalent. However, there are two versions of the consonant “g” in Swedish, and neither is like the “j” sound, for which they use that letter. One is like the English hard “g”, and one is more like “y”. Given the choice between “diggi” and “diyi”, I think “diggi” sounds better. Furthermore, making the “g” hard in “Digitakt” works well with the hard sounds in the second half of the word. There is less of a case for “Digitone”. Finally, having these pronunciations serves as in-group markers. (I had to lurk here for a bit before I figured out what GAS meant.)
This is the explanation I was looking for. Much appreciated! Couldn’t for the life of me understand the pronunciation in most review/demo videos I’ve seen.
I guess in French it would be Pla’, but Mutable Instruments modules are pretty much all given English names.
