Digitone feature requests!

Doh! Must admit I hadn’t looked at this for a while. Thanks for pointing out the obvious! (note to self about making late night posts)

It would, however, be amazing if you could bypass an FX for one of the inputs.

So you could have delay and reverb on your mono synth, but no delay on the drum-machine.

Good point. Yes, that would be really useful.

ARP SWING!!!

it’s almost useless without this (to me)

Dropping back in to re-re-request track transposition via holding a track button + trig or key (DNKeys or external keyboard).

Arpeggiator over midi!!

Unlocked sound locks : when moving the track knobs you also move the sound lock parameters relatively. A sound lock becomes an unlocked sound lock with func + trig.

Even more : shared unlocked sound locks : the relative position of the knobs of unlocked sound locks are consistent across patterns (kits workaround)

A quicker way to edit sounds in the sound pool for live tweaking multimap!
EG if you could easily select a sound in the pool to edit, you could have your DN controlled by some external midi sequencer using multimap to turn it into an 8 voice drum machine. Then you could tweak each voice live while it’s running.

We don’t need another flagship machine for DN. Digitone together with Digitone Keys are their flagship machines. I also like the compact form factor of DN.

Please add more LFO and complex envelope for modulators and definitely arpeggiator should be capable of being controlled by LFO and p-lock.

In the capable hands of Elektron programmer, all these could be achieved in a couple of days with a few lines of coding.

I hope DN would become a classic synth like microfreak with additional synthesis. it even doesn’t need additional engines. We need imported samples and wavetables for waveform of each operator. Might be great there are a few more filters like formant, low pass gate, comb filter and bit reduction effects though.

Hope Microfreak also has low pass gate simulation. If someone knows Arturia developer, please ask them to add LPG that was already implemented in mutable Plaits. It works well with a captive keyboard a la Buchla Easel.

A ‘Strum’ feature in the Chord Note Mode…

Can be set up now using the Arpeggiator , but would be good to use the Arp as a sequencer within the sequencer whilst ‘Strumming’ a chord.

Up, Down, Up&Down and Random plucking. …

Also looping envelopes.

4 channel mixer.

More LFO destinations. (to FX)

I have a few more for the Digitone Keys… re. the Multimapping and EXT control mode but can’t figure out how to word them!

Also… Some kind of visual signifier on the Arp Setup page as it is playing through to show you what step/offset of the arp you are editing. That would be well good.

An OLED screen - could it be programmed for different colours? So the colour of the pixels matched the colour of the current track…

‘Operator Locking’ so the ratio can’t be wrongly adjusted… I know you can always reload, but when starting a new patch from scratch you haven’t already saved it.

-Track detune, like the “Pitch All” LFO routing but manually adjustable/p-lockable
-LFO keytracking, would be sick to use them as additional operators like you can with the A4
-Maybe I’m being picky here but it would be sweet if we could toggle between how the LFO pages are set up now and having each page contain all the controls for a single LFO
-Routing external inputs to USB but not to the main outs
-An additional random LFO that slides between values instead of jumping

2 midi lfos per track!

Be able to lfo the velocity

Retrigs… Come on Elektron don’t leave this out. It won’t hurt sales on the Digitakt… It would mesh the 2 tighter

Sequencer… random and back to front (or ping pong… whatever) ratchets… theses littles with the conditionals at a tempo of about 80bpm would tickle tiptop :dizzy:

4 channel mixer.

Extended harmonics range.

Louder reverb!

Compression / side-chain please!

No idea if it’s possible, but I’d love how this would improve the balance/interplay between tracks.

it would be a very interesting alternative to the arpeggiator to have an algorithm of Euclidean rhythms

More Operator Faders! can we get metronome pre-roll//count in to apply to both machines If I am using an Elektron system!? Could we get a Cue system for the Digitone’s headphone amp? 4 outs instead of 2? The ability to template Midi tracks across banks and patterns! Lfo parameter on screen animation. Is the high pass filter numbering system translatable into hz? Does the number 30 on the high pass filter correspond to 30 hz? Could we also get a notch filter?Do we have a way to preview sound settings on the actual pattern?

Paraphonic chord mode (each operator as a separate pitch, allowing for a four note chord that uses one voice)

The ability to override p locks, letting you tweak the main sound as well as p locked sounds. The scaling idea someone suggested re:this earlier in the thread would be great.

& another vote for p lock sliding
