Expanded synthesis and filter concept

With the Digitone II, Elektron has significantly expanded what is on offer and has included four synthesis machines. While the predecessor had to make do with just one machine, there is now Wavetone, Swarmer, FM Tone and FM Drum, which expands the sound spectrum enormously and allows even complex drum sounds to be created in just a few simple steps. The filter section now offers interchangeable filter machines. You can choose between Multimode, Lowpass 4, Equalizer, Comb-, Comb + and Legacy LP/HP. This alone significantly enhances the sound palette! The track effects bandwidth filter, overdrive, bit reduction and sample Rate reduction are also available for each synth track. A lot has also been done in terms of modulation: no less than three very flexible and, above all, freely assignable LFOs per track provide plenty of variety in the sound. All tracks are given the finishing touches with the excellent sounding Saturator Delay, Supervoid Reverb and Panoramic Chorus insert effects. The master effects Overdrive and Stereo compressor are available to get the maximum out of the audio tracks. All effects can be edited extensively and range from subtle to club-suitable to cinematic. This is where it becomes clear that the Digitone II is so much more than a versatile groovebox with a focus on FM sounds. Thanks to the new synthesis machines and filter machines, there are so many possibilities that were previously unthinkable in-the-box. On top of that, the compact device is the perfect sequencing center for smaller and larger setups.

Live sequencer!

The sequencer of the Elektron Digitone II is absolutely suitable for live use, quick to program and, above all, easy to learn. Real-time and rock-solid timing are the magic words for Elektron's recipe for success. A total of 128 patterns can be saved. Each pattern can have a maximum length of up to 128 steps (8 bars), and each track can also be given its own step length and scaling. Naturally, the Digitone II also features parameter locks, allowing individual parameters to be locked to one or more steps without permanently affecting the sound. Other features such as a Euclidean pattern generator, arpeggiator, shuffle, micro timing or programmable trigger probability effectively round off the intervention options. Each of the 16 internal tracks can be configured as a MIDI track for external MIDI equipment such as a desktop synth. The tracks are four-voice polyphonic playable respectively programmable, allow the addressing of 16 CC parameters and two LFOs can be freely assigned. The keyboard mode with 36 scales is a great help if no MIDI keyboard is connected for note input.
