  1. Anyone using the Digitone, Digitakt, or other similar Elektron boxes know if there is a basic peak meter somewhere in the UI?

    Or is that a kind of thing that makes no sense to use on a synth and instead only on a recording target or destination elsewhere? I'm trying to figure something out in the context of the compressor, in terms of a reference point to adjust each track.

  6. How do people use these Elektron compressors without a peak meter? Isn’t that necessary?

  7. Trying to learn how to use the Digitone compressor and found this really useful video. Have to say compression has to be one of the trickiest things to learn with synths.

  12. Tried to see what it’s like to do something experimental on a Digitone and it’s about as easy to use as an analog modular, I think. Took me about half hour to figure out how to record audio straight into an iPhone camera and had to use the Blackmagic camera app (amazing btw) and a Zoom U24. Used 3 tracks with “probability” triggers and 1 S&H LFO. Just 16 steps, looping. Of course not as powerful as a modular but so convenient and compact.

  17. #Elektron devices are still new to me, and I'm still learning how to use them. And I keep forgetting the shortcuts! So I created an interactive list for searching shortcuts, because I don't want to keep looking them up in the manual or asking questions and trusting some LLM.

    I am sharing this with the rest of the world.

  22. Digitone has landed

    youtube.com/shorts/zisVRvW8FdA

    I bought an Elektron Digitone II at Wired Tunes a month ago. It’s a tiny box oF Magic.

    In this jam, Condukt, running on the iPhone, is giving me a helping hand and fading in the kick and its sidechain compression.

  27. Here's a good introduction to FM-syntesis by @etherdiver etherdiver.com/how-to-synth-a-

    I've owned, and made music on, a #Digitone for a while, and making sounds often consists of tweaking things til they sound good, and trying to investigate the factory-default sounds. I'm not really a "study person", more into a trial and error.

    Anyway, following the examples, and just limiting oneself to one modulator and carrier, made me a bit clearer what's actually going on.

  30. You can name data entry knobs for CC values in MIDI tracks on #elektron #digitakt or #digitone!

    I couldn't figure it out, even though I've done it before. But the internet was telling me it was not possible. Of course it is, it's in the manual - Appendix A.

    Press and hold [FUNC] and then press and hold any DATA ENTRY knob to access the naming screen 🤦‍♂️

  32. For some reason I made a video where I play through a rough sketch of a new song I'm currently making in the synthwave-style. Melodic parts are mainly finished, but drums needs some more work.

    video.desolationpark.se/new_so

    I think the main reason was technical curiosity to try out #Hyper8 (a self hosted static site generator for video), but it led to gaining motivation to continue working on this song. You never know which things leads to other things...

  35. Arpeggio Study of the new chord mode in #digitone 2. Of course a lot of SRR and Overdrive ;)
    Just a little weekend workout. This is not mastered. The instruments will probably be part of my next live gig in #Ulm.
    This is 100% Digitone 2, nothing else. Drums are synthesized too.

  36. #Jamuary2025 day 19 desolationpark.se/jamuary-2025

    Back to my regular style, that is the style of melodic shimmering synths and natural sounding drums. Also leans heavily on the "303"-patch for #Digitone previously used in Strange Data: desolationpark.se/strange-data which in turn was inspired by this: inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=ibX9hxc (alt: youtube.com/watch?v=ibX9hxcMWK)
