Prophet 12 with Digitone?

Elektron Gear Digitone/Digitone Keys

Looking forward to it.

I have returned to the Digitone from time to time, to re-evaluate its place in my rig. Given that on paper, it really is the perfect synth for me, I’ve always felt I should give it another go.

But it’s like you say - that weight from a Sequential, the Digitone just can’t touch that. If that matters, then there’s no replacing it.

Though for drum duties, I would imagine it’s pretty damn excellent. An MFB cuts through the mix like a japanese kitchen knife, but it’s not nearly as flexible in design and sequencing as a Digitone.

I thought about picking up another digitone just because I miss running Tanzbär 2 thru its audio inputs.

Yes, playing also electric guitar, I need more weight from the synths and a layer of P12 with unison and mild distortion is another level. MFB is top of its field but its steps are too static at some point.

The Elektron effects with the MFBs are fitting really nicely. When I had the Tanzbaer 2 (yes I had also that before returning it to the T shop for heavy bugs) I used one A4 input for the Tz2 synth track and the other input for the “Voice 1” track and its filter was screaming. Sonically I really miss the Tanzbaer 2 but I had very likely a faulty unit.

In the end, the third gear of my ideal trio was not Digitone but Digitakt. It’s about a year now that I am enjoying music life with A4-P12-Digitakt and I would recommend to anybody the Digitakt. The sound samples from MFB 522 and Tanzbaer sound very good and realistic on the Digitakt.
