Digitone II is a synthesizer that can transform your sounds into colorful sounds. This machine has polyphonic capabilities to create a wide range of sounds. It expands your creative possibilities by producing unique melodic and rhythmic sounds.
Digitone II is a multitimbral polyphonic synth with a modular workflow. 16 tracks are available to any synth machine via MIDI, with 16 voices available across a range of selectable synth machines. Along with this flexibility are extensive filters, an expanded Elektron sequencer, playability enhancements, a powerful note editor, and much more. The rabbit hole is deeper and bigger than you'd think.
Synth Machine
Synth machines are the route for generating sound on the Digitone II. There are four synth machines, each with their own unique characteristics and all with tweakability.
WAVETONE
Dive into Wavetone, a fresh take on the classic two-oscillator synthesizer. Morph oscillator shapes, add phase distortion and oscillator modulation, and precisely define noise flavors.
SWARMER
Take your buzz to the next level with Swarmer. The Super Saw-in-Origin Cluster gives you loads of waveform control over the entire swarm. Choose your shape and combine detune and noise modulation controls for rich, complex textures.
FM TONE
FM Tone is the original Digitone FM synthesis engine, capable of twisting your sound in all sorts of fascinating directions.
FM DRUM
Unleash FM Drum and harness the percussive flexibility and tweakability to create your own smacks, booms and everything in between. Despite the name, it's also capable of melodic magic.
Modularity
This is a box packed with modulation goodness, with modularity at its core. With flexible workflows, interchangeable synth machines and a wide range of filter options, you're free to shape your soundscapes according to your creative vision. Digitone II's extended filters show just how much depth is possible. Try Comb- and Comb+, or explore Multimode, EQ, Lowpass 4 and Legacy LP/HP. The Bass Width filter is also more flexible than ever, and can be placed before other filters or at the end of an audio track chain. Each voice has a dedicated amp envelope. ADSR adds control and clarity, while AHD maximizes percussive sounds. Use the 3 LFOs and their various destinations and controls to push your sounds into unpredictable, yet evocative, realms.
FX Page
The FX page gives you even more options to refine your sound. Immerse your sound in whatever works best: lush delays and reverbs, shimmering or dissonant choruses, or intense bit reduction, sample rate reduction and overdrive that can be placed before or after the filter. Mix it all together to create the perfect potion.
From the mixer page, use the master compressor to open up the side chain and other parameters, as well as the master overdrive for further distortion control.
ELEKTRON Sequencer
The Elektron Sequencer is the beating heart of the instrument. 128 steps offer a variety of parameter locking possibilities, letting you dive into different territory step by step. Or record your tweaks live as you twist. Switch to Euclidean Sequencer mode to combine two Pulse Generators to create math-driven sequences with an almost primitive feel, opening up new creative avenues. Per-step conditions, configurable probabilities and retriggers give you even more control. Page loops give you even more granularity as you compose and perform.
Performance and playability
Digitone II is packed with tools to maximize performance and playability. Note Editing lets you deeply edit every note of a chord. Tweak the note, length, speed and even micro-timing of each note. Hit the Arpeggiator button to explore rhythmic and melodic ideas. Take your sounds further with customizable modulation settings for aftertouch, pitch bend, mod wheel, velocity and breath control, and the newly added key tracking, each with four assignable parameter destinations and independent depth. Connect an external MIDI controller and tweak it however you like.
Packed with preset sounds
Packed with great preset sounds right out of the box, Digitone II can inspire you right from the get-go or give you a sound that you can tune exactly to what you need. Save your special sounds in Kits to store sounds, synth parameters, modulation destinations and more across all your tracks and recall them quickly and easily when starting your next track. Use Perform Kits to try out some wild tweaks or try a completely different kit than ljudlab. Save states will never be overwritten.
CONTROL ALL
Control All gives you full simultaneous control over parameters, so you can tweak settings for all or individual tracks. Four trigger modes give the 4 trigger keys different functions, such as adjusting velocity levels, changing retrigger speed, or selecting and recording multiple preset sounds onto one track. There's also a Song mode, which lets you easily create playlists of patterns that you can edit and tweak as you play.
