Hi friends. I’m planning on getting a Digitone but there’s one thing I haven’t quite been able to figure out.
Do the midi tracks perform independently from the synth track?
In other words, if I have a synth on Track 1, can track 1 in midi mode also control an external synth with a different pattern? or do both the Synth and external synth controlled by the Midi track have to share the same pattern/notes etc?
I can’t figure out if each track is a one or the other situation, or if they are independent meaning there are effectively 8 tracks like the manual says.
Best,
David
Yes, there are 4 synth tracks and 4 midi tracks, so 8 tracks total.

PERFECT!
That’s what I was hoping/thought but didn’t want to order it without knowing for sure.
Thanks so much!

You won’t regret it!
I have a lot of synths and still think it’s the best sounding of all of them.
Also, for an FM synth, it’s surpisingly easy to make quality patches.

I’m obsessed with the ModelCycles, it’s become my center point for writing. It’s only downside is it has such a unique sound, it doesn’t necessarily sit well with some of the other hardware I have. I think the Digitone will gel with it better. Being able to sequence my other hardware from the same box will be a huge workflow help. I’m excited to get it and learn it.
I LOVE FM synthesis but I’m not seasoned with it. The way it’s simplified in the Cycles and Digitone is such a God send for me. I want to utilize that sound/texture but not spend years fiddling with minute details.
Thanks again!
