It will canabilise the digitone ii ... but yeap this what s missing , would have lve like 4 tracks poly ....

If I had purchased a Syntakt, I'd sell it and get the Digitone II

You def did'nt heard/noticed the sonic the diff

I'm so glad i kept the syntakt , not only the analog drum engines (taking from the rythm) rocks , but the analog osc , analog drive and filter is on another level imho ... and yes i do use also the digital synth side of it , wich is basically what we have on a digitone in a less deep way ... but core sound is the same ... now that said , i can say it ithout any hesitation that , like Nord and Acess , Elektron can make the digital synth sounds more analog that a lot of other boxes .... it is simply impressive the quality of , not only the engines but the distortion and the filters ...
I was so hyped with digitone 2 that i was close to buy it , in fact i'm still thinking of it , but not at all as being superior to syntakt , at all , but more like allowing me to go on other territories ... simple as that ....
If i want raw power , focus , depth and punch , syntakt is simply unbeatable in that aspect still ..
If i want complex landscapes , acoustic like sounds and texture , polyhonie , or even rythm sequencing ideas ...didgitone is just superb in that aspec , also as i tool box for production (you need a smooth pad fast , here we go , need a noise modulated , here we goo , ya need a 1/3/5 chord on counter note , here we go ...) same can be said for syntakt but monophony is on the menu ...

Yeah, but I have 2 Rytm's so I got the analog side covered.

I was disappointed with the digital side of the Syntakt. I briefly thought of selling one of my Rytm's and getting the Syntakt. Glad I didn't cause the Digitone 2 is exactly what I wanted. Now I can sell my Digitone 1...

Make full sens now that you gave details i was thinking digitone II as your only tool

Keep in mind that the digital side on the syntakt have been beefed with new engines AND this can go on the analog FX chain and this makes them go to life ... but of course engine are nowehre near the digitone ones (specially love the noise and transient side on the digitone 2)

I wouldn't. I've got all three, and they work great together. The ST and the DN II occupy very different ends of the sonic spectrum and serve different functions. the DT II acts as the glue between them, so you've got three different timbres from the three separate machines.

Have you compared the digitakt to something more linear like mpc live 2 ...
I ve found elektron superb when it comes to step sequenving and rythm , but not so for more linear composing when i have to go that road for melodic element ...

New ambient sound set from substan for Digitone II. I really like his music and sounds.

These things are subjective. For me personally, a combo of Rytm and Syntakt is hard to beat. Not considering DNII at the moment, I like my FM synths vibey, like those twisted electrons boxes such as MegaFM II and Twistedwave FM

Yeah, Substan does really good stuff. He shows off the Digitone well (1 and 2)

I haven't bought the Digitakt. Considered it, but the sound demos never quite grabbed my ears. The Digitone sound just does it for me.

I did buy the MPC (exactly for linear composing), but after 3 months, just didn't get along with it and passed it along. It felt too much like using a computer, but a less capable one.

I've got a Reliq arriving in maybe a month.

Thks Draig , was also intersseted in the Deluge , quit a box ...

Never had a chance to try the Deluge.

Finally got a chance to update to 1.10 and the new chord mode exceeded my hopes. Bravo Elektron, nicely done.

Digitone II Gets Overbridge

Elektron has released the Digitone II Overbridge plugin, meaning version 2.19 offers full Overbridge access for that machine. Now Digitone II owners can use the FM synth in their DAW of choice – or not, as their DAWlessness proclivities dictate.

The company has also pushed out small OS updates (1.10A) for both the Digitone II and Digitakt II. Elektron recommends that you update your Digitone II before using it with Overbridge.

The only thing wrong with current Elektron products is display issues where grey pixelated bands appear across the display, this has already happened to my A4 MkII.

Elektron are aware of the display issues with their current machines.

Mine has to go back the retailer for replacement.

How long before it appeared ?

Damn i wantd to buy before going on holiday but overbdige made me skip it ... i was like maybe they will telease it when i m there ...and they did lol. But no digitone here ahahah ....

Any feedbakc on stability will be apreciatted from the happy owners around.

About a couple of months in, some have reported their screens going like that in a few weeks.

Mine has went like this one in the photo:

Damn , mine , done so after weeks ( little less than month , sent it to elektron and they handled it ) but then i thought if it keep woirking great after a month , it's gonna be ok , but your feedback says another story ...

Regarding DN2 OB , does it record bang-on to grid when use piano roll or does it still need slight quantisation after recording.

Edit - Can say the tempo no longer fluctuates though since last update , so that’s good. But recording is still abit off in ableton requiring quantisation afterwards , would have thought be bang on via audio over usb.
