No tips thread?

[swiss]

How come the takt forum has a thriving tips and tricks thread yet us toners have not

[Baztek]

You guise are still all reeling with all the unfathomable possibilities the Tone has?

They might be man

Me however, I’m neither clever nor creative enough for tips and tricks

[Baztek]

Well, there’s gold allover youtube and a lot of the other elektrons have similar features you can translate to the DN.

Check out Zivs video: https://youtu.be/b24h6Ggw0uo

Some good things there. But DN specific?

Edit: Actually, the best tips and tricks are in the factory patterns. The Elektron people pack those things with a lot of hidden tech. I study them often.

Cheers man. It’s a good start

Perhaps the toners are more secret then the takters

[tsutek]

can’t really give you much tips as most of the time I have no idea wtf I’m doing when I’m using the DN - but great stuff still just oozes out from it! The DN really rewards experimentation.

But if you want patches to dissect, I strongly recommend the RTFM soundpack. Lots of great sounds in there which utilize the idiosyncracies of the sound engine! Also check the new DK soundbank, it has alot more new sounds than the DN original factory bank (haven’t checked them myself yet tho)

Nice one tsutek. Wasn’t begging for tips, but do appreciate them massively

Just keep seeing the big juicy takters thread and feel us toners needed one

sure, I’m sure nobody will mind any tips threads around here! The more the merrier.

One big tip I can think of came about when the new ratio offsets were introduced. @RobertSyrett figured out how to do wavefolding with the digitone almost immediately after the update! I bet that’s a massive treasure trove of sound right there…

Also, check the posts made by @ess about using ratio offsets. Both topics can be found here:

Fun with Ratio Offsets

Let’s talk about offsets! What do they actually do? Well, you might have used the Detune parameter before - this does virtually the same thing, but using a clever macro mapping, and only affecting certain operators, that is fine tuned to the algorithms and underlying system of the Digitone engine. This simply adds an offset to the ratio in fine increments, e.g 1.001 (.001 being the offset) - this will introduce a slight drift in the timbre if used for modulation for example. What the ratio o…

A centralized tips and tricks thread seems like a good idea, so I went ahead and started one over here:

Digitone Tips and Tricks

Elektronaut Swiss mentioned that there was no Tips and Tricks thread for the Digitone. So I thought I might start one and see if it gains any traction. I’ll start: Here is how to set up Digitone (with 1.21 and up) for live-recording multi-sound finger-drummed parts using the Digitone sequencer keys. When set up properly, it also has the added bonus of allowing more than one sound to be recorded on the same step in a single track without having to use the microtiming trick. For setup, you …

We’ll see if it gains any traction.

I could have just edited this thread come to think of it
