Pull your sound through the prism and into a spectrum of dazzling tones and timbres. Digitone II unleashes layers of exciting sonic possibilities. Get set for the reimagining of our box of FM Synthesis into a multi-machine, many-realm-reaching wonder, taking the evolution of Digitone synthesis and sequencing to new heights.
Digitone II is a multitimbral polyphonic synth framed in a modular workflow. Its 16 tracks can be used for any of its synth machines or for MIDI, with 16 voices available across those selectable synth machines. On top of this flexible flavor, there’s also an abundance of filters, an expanded Elektron Sequencer, playability unlocking goodness, a powerful note editor, and a whole bunch more. The rabbit hole is deeper and more magnificent than ever imagined.
Synth machines are your route to generating sound with Digitone II. There are four synth machines to play with, each with their own character and every single one stuffed with tweakability.
Dive into Wavetone, a fresh take on the classic 2-oscillator synthesizer. Morph between oscillator shapes, add phase distortion and oscillator modulation, or define with precision the flavor of your noise. Take the buzz to the next level with Swarmer. A super saw-in-origin cluster offering lots of waveform control across the swarm. Pick your shape, combine detune and noise modulation controls, and reach rich, complex textures. FM Tone is the original Digitone FM synthesis engine, and still capable of twisting your sound in all manner of delicious directions. Unleash FM Drum, with heaps of percussive flexibility and fine-tuning on offer to craft your own smacks and booms, and everything in between. And despite the name, capable of melodic magic too.
