Digitone in mono?

Has anyone used Digitone in mono? Im guessing the stereo outs are for panning voices, delay spread, and the reverb. Since I’m not using any panning, delay spread nor the digitone reverb, is there any reason to run stereo out of the digitone?

Context, live use through octatrack (with OT cue outs to external stereo reverb, external reverb needs to OT inputs to return. ) if Digitone is fine in mono, it gives me one more mono input.

Cheers all.

The chorus is also stereo. I personally wouldn’t use it in mono, it sounds very lush with the stereo effects!

Yes. I have been experimenting all morning. I really like the digitone ping pong delay, so stereo it is. Sounds extra lush with my external reverb on it.

An idea for a use for mono digitone would be to send one of the channels out of left or right and then send it to a dedicated filter or FX chain.

I know people were able to mod their a4mkis to be ext out.

Surely there’s some madman out there rigging a solution for this.

I doubt it’d be as easy as on the A4… or even possible at all, since the DN isn’t mixing analog tracks together.

Maybe an internal Raspberry Pi with internally connected USB, splitting the USB audio out into separate channels? :laughing:

Imma be that guy to say hey Overbridge let’s you multitrack DN over USB now :wink:

That’s what I was getting at, just on a Pi, splitting to physical outputs!

Thats nice. I have zero interest in multi tracking personally.

I’ve answered my own question anyway. Sure you can run it it mono no worries, but its a better sound in stereo due to the stereo delay and chorus, which are quite nice actually.

(Not fussed about the reverb, but I have a reverb I like so not an issue)

Don’t forget the spread on Unison. Don’t think that was mentioned. That is a stereo spread I believe.

Yeah it’s stereo spread just like on OT!

this is extremely underrated innovative idea since tusi could be

internal overbridge raspberry mod

It’s a nice idea, but there is no class compliance, nor a linux audio driver…
If one of those things is ever added, I’ll be all over implementing this…:slightly_smiling_face:

Indeed, and no overbridge-supported DAW will run on a pi

Reaper probably does :smiley:

Anyway, it’s just a thought experiment, nothing to be taken too seriously… but It looks like there are Win10 compatible SBCs out there, so it could possibly work!
