i’ve had my Digitone Keys almost a year and didn’t really know about this feature until this month (it’s deep)
I would love this. Some different curves on the envelopes on the amp env and the mod env would really open up sound design.

btw…this can be achived if you use the Exponential LFO as a one shot. But then you tie up an LFO.
Possibilities for extreme Chorus settings like on the ‘older’ Elektron boxes

I think it would be nice to have the option to have the current pattern’s name scrolling left to right, so allowing to see the full pattern’s name - I’d find it useful especially in those instances I have to recall other gear’s patterns that are associated with the current DN’s pattern.
That option could be found in the Settings > System menu (On/Off) for example.

start amount for attack of modulation level envelope
+1 to everyone who requested this. Now that my honeymoon with DN is closing to an end, i get how important that is. Absolutely love the spaces i find within the levels, sadly theres no way to capure them

+1! Being used to the A4 Chorus, was disappointed in the DN’s very timid version.

Do you mean holding Func while adjusting Attack param of the 2x mod envs (SYN2 page) so we don’t have to switch pages?
Unfortunately all effects of the Digiboxes are subpar to the A4, only on the Syntakt I can’t complain because of the FX block …

‘Use Track Sounds’ so that DN’s 4x track sounds be cycled round-robin style like you can with the A4.

this adjusts attack delay, same parameter that you can find on page two.
right now if you want to use attack part of the envelope, it will always start at 0 modulation level, which usually acts as on/off switch for crazy FM punch.
If I for example like how range between 80-90 sounds, my only option is to skip attack, and just decay from 90 to 80. Otherwise if I choose to use attack, my sound will have to go through 0 to 90, and then back to 80. Thus turning soft pad into industrial sfx.
Right now there is no option to make attack start not at 0.
P.S. Func+Attack used to adjust attack delay, but it doesnt work on 1.40 anymore, perhaps a bug. I rarely adjust attack delay (because always 0 start makes me mostly skip attack) so i would gladly take attack start for Func+Attack.

I think you can do what you want with a LFO 
You can try this : make your modulation enveloppe (for example, Mod A) without attack phase (adjust decay and end level). Then, configure a one shot LFO with exponential curve assigned to Mod A level. Set a negative depth on the LFO and normally that should work. The negative depth will act as an “attack start” level and the speed will act as a an attack time for the enveloppe.

i agree that LFO is so flexible it can iron out a lot of bumps in the sound design process.
but also theres only two of them, and they can be used for things that are way more fun.
using LFO for such basic functions is a bit of a waste, especially on the DN, where modulating parameters can have night and day difference for a sound.
same goes for adjusting AMP curves with LFO, ect.
Yes, one more LFO could be awesome.
configuring a whole LFO page to cover for a 1 dial function is not what im after here.
but yes, theres never enough LFOs 
Quantized Arp, yes!
“You can also remove specific parameter locks on a track in real time. In LIVE RECORDING mode, press and hold [NO] and then press and hold the DATA ENTRY knob corresponding to the parameter that you want to remove.”

Hey there fellow Elektron-nutters and DigiDevs!
Back with another silly little request
Last time when I did my silly feature requests for the DigiTone, you guys implemented it into the SynTakt instead ( ! ) (Which is ofcourse nice for SY owners, but unfortunately not yet me included) Yes, thank you for listening though
By the way, pls also add some of these SY features and workflow to the DN / other digis at some point in time when target sales have been met regarding the SY roadmap and the next awesome gear project (MnM/OT pls…)
I was busy doing some of my usual daily time wasting routines, because well… procrastination/weakness, I’ve grown accustomed. But then i came across this plugin by Audio Damage (a well known plugin developer, awesome stuff there, and not forgetting Linux and iOS !!!) Anyhow when I saw this video:
I immediately imagined the sequencer TRiG steps doing something similar and nice like this, becoming a ‘tantra-devious machines-like’ TRiG FX sequence to add yet another layer of soul crushing whip cream with chocolate sprinkles!!! (Yes, I’ve asked for something similar like this before, I know I know… And yes, it was implemented in some faint way into the SY, but then again maybe somewhat moreover inspired by the Polyend Tracker performance mode? 
)
Its like this:
Now, if you would have the ability to add another layer to the cake of possible trig steps…
(and maybe implement another dedicated special LFO for this parameter FX wizardry,… per Track of course, and if not possible due to memory/cpu load, at least one LFO on the master for this task would already be amazing! Just sacrifice a midi channel as an option? = 4 extra LFO’s on the DN)
Then you could lock in LFO parameters/behaviour per TRiG/Step and have it sent to a parameter destination of choice, but being driven by the LFO opposed to hard programming, becoming more dynamic and transitional ???
So you obviously can have it do the basic French pumping faux sidechain FX, but also discover other nice new weird effects by parameter triggering as pleased.
It’s a bit like the DN LFO and destination page driving fx parameters, but instead on a per TRiG step locking basis! And more smooth by using the LFO to set the curve/time/frequency
So in a way, you can now have an automation lane of sorts to drive certain parameters as an additional effect.
Still thinking: if there could be a ‘tied note’ option when programming too, and have a parameter value change and spread out over a set multiple steps opposed to just a single TRiG… ???
I’m thinking, basic faux pumping sidechain (volume, opposed to compression here: like a basic volume shaper) effects, parameter FX glides, gates/volume triggers/mutes, wobble-type filter FX stuff, and so on…
Maybe even have the choice to apply the FX sequence to the send channel (manipulating it so it becomes like an FX texture on top of the dry signal. - Yes Ring mod for the DN please
(Ofcourse a second LFO for drive multiple TRiG step parameter destinations would be even more appreciated)
I’d love some additional FX (which might possibly be triggered on a per step basis) FX per step on/off.
- a granular Reverse delay/reverb type effect, because yes: Audio Damge OtherDesertCities plugin is fucking awesome !
- Granular FX stuff
So something along those lines pls.
Well maybe it’s just nothing more than another silly idea, and some of it can similarly already be achieved by micro editing steps?
I was also thinking: PARAMETER LEGATO, that would be f*n nice!
You could practically achieve the same LFO stuff mentioned above
Maybe like have a dedicated MATRiX (switchboard) page to drive and turn on/off a number of parameters/FX, per TRiG step??? Now that would be awesome !!!
Have a target parameter value, but trigger it, off = 0, on = locked in destination value ?
So you have a trigger gate for a destination parameter of choice, as you will?
…
Anyhow, still saving up pennies for a SY of my own, nowhere close for now and so I will have to make due and’ll probably be swarming like a fly around the Elektron booth again to have a go and play with the SY some more, and hopefully this year round also have a go with the OT as well. (thanks F*n asshole who stole it’s memory card last year! Scumbag!) Superbooth23!!! Hoping for some new surprises 
Alright Cheers All !!!

By the way: I also still love the idea posed by somebody on this forum (sorry can’t remember who you were) to have the external audio source be the operator signal to start the synthesis signal chain.
I was thinking maybe it would then be also nice to have the choice of sending in 2 mono inputs (L, R) that can be swapped out with the carrier signals/operators (A/B) (somewhat like the Digitakt in essence) (or maybe have it pass through as as a velocity/volume ducking / side chaining effect ???!!!)
This way you can have the DN (or any other Digi box) also act like a step sequenced FX box in some sort of way??? (Becoming a bit like the analog heat if you will, and faintly/remotely resemble a Zoia of sorts??? = multi purpose = broader marketing outreach)
Thanks for your consideration !!!
Cheers
Big Ups!
