Digitone feature requests!

Ability to loop the active page of a multi-page sequence. It would make long sequences so much easier to edit.

Also, how is there no slide function like on the OT? Seriously, Elektron, get your crap together. All of your newer machines should have the same damn sequencer functions. Same with individual track swing. Itā€™s like yā€™all are trying to drive us crazy!

+1 great idea!

simon provides what seems like a good explanation

I meant parameter slide, like doing p-locks on 2 steps and having them slide between each other. Although portamento would be nice, too.

I would love to see a ā€˜reverb pre delayā€™ lfo/modulation parameter added to the effects settings of the Digitone (and Digitakt) without using a midi channel/lfo (CC) for it. The reverb really comes alive when modulating the predelay setting.

That would also be a nice addition for the ā€˜Delay Timeā€™
I would love some square modulated delay times to get some nice ā€˜pitch shifting effectsā€™ :slight_smile:

Ah well

+1 to PLockā€™ing the Arp.
+1 PLocking FX params.

How do people do triplets without Plocking Arps? My current workaround is to save a version of the sound with and without Arp and PLock the Arp version of that sound to the trigger I want. Seems clunky, but it works ok. Not being able to edit the PLocked voice easily is a bit cramping [literally]

Arp parameters as lfo destinations.

Holy crap, thatā€™s kind of a genius idea.

Just to make sure I understand, hereā€™s an example of what I think youā€™re saying:

  1. Sound1 - No arp
  2. Sound 1.2 - Arp TRU with speed of 6
  3. Sound 1.3 - Arp CYC with speed of 3
  4. Sound 1.4 - Arp DWN with speed of 9

Use Sound1 for most of the melodies, then when you want the triplets or crazy ā€œp-lockedā€ arps, soundlock sounds 2-4 at any given point?

Yup!

yes please

It seems a bit strange that sound locks can change the arp parameters, but they canā€™t be directly plocked. I would love to not only be able to plock the arp, but also have it as an LFO destinationā€¦ because thatā€™s when things can get weird!

We totally need keytracking for the filters. Thereā€™s all that empty space on the 2nd filter page! And more lfos! And an assignable envelope like on the A4.

Got mine today. Gotta put it through its paces to see if Iā€™m gonna keep it.

It already exists for the multimode filter:

59%20pm

but itā€™d be nice if it could be set for the base/width filter as well!

Gotcha. Wonder why they didnā€™t put a knob for easier access.

Another crazy idea. What if, when a parameter was effect by the LFO, you could actually see the parameter moving so you could even more finely tune how far you want the LFO to go? Thatā€™d be dope.

Oh, and MIDI arp. Not sure if Iā€™ve said that yet.

It would be nice to gray out the out of scale notes on the DT keyboard without shifting the whole keys. So if C is not in a scale, it is gray out but the C (step#9) stays at its spot. I am learning music theory so I maybe donā€™t see the point of changing keys positions.

Example: in the C scale the step 9->16 are the white keys on the keyboard, starting at C. But if you change the scale for aeolian F4, the C became a F, why that? Iā€™d prefer to keep the keyboard as it is.

Thought about this. The Filter Keytrack is great, but isnā€™t it unipolar? I love the A4 is bipolar.

More requests:

  1. Allow the same note to be triggered one after another without shutting off the note before it.
  2. Separate clock and transport on/off controls.
  3. More voices (not even sure if this is possible.

Overbridge is likely to show it , it does on digitakt beta , itā€™s a subtle colour thing on the graphic dial.
On device is nicer though it gets tricky with single colour , low resolution display
