Your 'go to' moves with Digitone

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!

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
