Quoted for truth AND it’s funny how people always talk about the fidelity when often the demos are on the floor of a trade show or being monitored through shitty speakers.
Anyway, I’m glad people are excited and all, but gear-lust makes people…uhh…‘hear what they want to hear’.
Played with the Digitone and NAMM and it sounds effing great. Parameter locks really open up the creativity on this little box. Only downside is: programming FM stuff on the screen is kind of convoluted with the graphics. Not immediately intuitive. Though I’m sure with practice and muscle memory it won’t be a big deal .
Early buyers though beware: both the units my friend and I played crashed or froze up a few times.
Definitely some bugs to be ironed out
yes, but I have to say that elektron delivered exactly what the majority of the fans on this forum wanted: A FM synth with the „form factor“ of the Digitakt.
I can just picture you with a frozen smile on your face while your two digitones are stuck on a dissolving E in the startup screen. “It’s all right, it’s great, it’s FM for God’s sake!”
Only a few hours ago I had no GAS for this box but now I do, my defenses are very weak
Good news is that I spent my synth money on an A4 so it will be a while until I can get one, hopefully price will be lowered by then bugs ironed out etc. Or I could just cancel my Behringer Model D pre-order and start saving for a D1…
Box looks really great but I’m sequencing Phasemaker with a OT. Can this do anything I can’t do with that setup? I’ve recently really gotten into FM synthesis so I’m definitely curious.
This thread is generating an insane amount of Flags and they are sadly merited - it’s really simple, we will have to show less tolerance of unacceptable posting to prevent this getting out of hand. So please, you know where the guidelines are - if you have the urge to hit back - don’t - it’ll only escalate and the sanctions will come sooner than they otherwise might.
Please respect the forum and the community and the right of others to have different opinions, but we won’t sit back and watch stirring, personal attacks and pointless posts which just lower the bar. Have some humility, this is just a product announcement.
Keep it on topic - remember, address the content, not the person. And, unfortunately, this still has to be reiterated, this is not about sitting on criticism of Digitone/whatever or Elektron, it never has been, we just want the flags to stop. So keep it civil or say nothing. Please
If the community are repeatedly flagging your posts we will have to act
