I can easily get my DN to ‘break down and cry’ if i go haywire on every Trig with a nuclear blast of parameter changes. Doesn’t like it that much. (My bet is: the machines, each with their own set of parameters for tweaking, like M:C, kinda prevents overloading the machine dedicated track with Trig requests and keeps it spread out and evenly balanced?)
So i presume not that much in the hardware department changed, and the higher price will be attributed to the chip shortage???
Therefore considering all ‘the machines’ and a boxload of features (with a nod towards the monomachine) is pretty much the limit (with a tiny amount of headroom for future updates, i reckon??? And ofcourse as stated marketing strategy.
However if they keep spoiling us with future updates, i wouldn’t mind if some features would be cross-adapted to even better the performance and distinct character of each of the DigiBox tripplets
Hold on, i heard a rumour there’s another one coming this Xmas
(Though i still wonder if it would be possible to perform an OS brain transfer between DT and ST, same amount of knobs and all??? Don’t know about the bowels of the beastie, hardware-wise)
I did like a suggestion by someone here in the forum saying the headphone outputs could offer an additional output (if audio is all digitally routed by the OS, that would be an awesome feature to have, like an internally routing/bussing (summing bus-split) option
<~ (fairly reminiscent of the Amiga live performance Tracker trick (mono L R split to stereo adapter / mixer) ch1 - Keep the Bass and Breaks tight and pumping steadily, ch2 - going beast-mode on additional effects / filters / tweaking, etc)
but as a bonus without sacrificing stereo per definition in the process.
If this could be done with internal digital routing, the DN could for instance output every Track (T1-T4) in mono by panning tracks and splitting L R 1 & L R 2. Woot woot! Almost like a Tetr4, but with a lot more features, intuitive tweaking, being reserved to FM, and except for not being analogue.
(ST seems to be like a lovely best-of-both-worlds MNM, MD, A4+AH all-in-one !!!)
Imagine the new possibillities with a single DigiBox unit and a bit of creative programming (within ‘boundaries’ / ‘limitations’) + FX tinkering, wow!
Anyhow considering the new family member ST: still nowhere close to afford myself one.
