After having the DN2 for over a year I’m still finding new things to do with it and love it more than ever. I use it stand alone all the time!
I’ve noticed there’s a few things I like doing and was wondering if anyone wanted to share any tips or go to moves they use.
I like writing a hi hat groove using the FM tone machine and then change the algorithm on a per step basis for accents and tonal changes. I used to do this more with the amp page, but using the algorithm creates wacky changes by itself.
I always make more interesting drums with Digitone than with my Digitakt

I do the exact same thing but with the LFO on the Algorithm. Random Waveshape and another one slightly on the Panning
I only have the OG DN but my go to is flipping the switch to on! It’s awesome!
Returning to old projects to polish them up.
Damn, came here to post “I turn it on, enjoy the sounds, get lost and make music”.
using the macros to open and close the envelopes
I love the textural/rhythmic changes that can come from delaying the onset of the modulators to taste (ctrl-all optional)
Track layering, first track chords, with second track set to 12/16 or some other shorter track length, with a lot of lock trigs p-locked with AMP zero, additional timbral p-locks lock trigs to taste, nice polyrhythmic layering.
Copy-pasting track 1’s chord trigs to track 3, shift trigs any direction, for hooks/accents/counterpoint, remove/modify the notes so its like a mono thing
