WAY OUT (Digitone 2 Only Jam / Revox B77 Recording)

[@djhumanrights]

my dn2 coming tomorrow, looking forward to it, cant stop typing 'elektron digitone ii' on youtube to see what the lucky people who grabbed one early are doing with it

[@acid_gray]

@@djhumanrights Have fun with your device! Probability the best electron over the last decade!

[@DiegoFuego87]

Mine arrived yday, and can confirm it’s a beast! All the original limitations gone and all the extra fun of the Digitakt II features and workflow. Instantly the new standard, enjoy!

[@markus6409]

When diegofuego can confirm it then i am in. What are you going to comfirm. Posting this comment i think you are a looser.

[@PvKAmsterdam]

Great vibe!

[@acid_gray]

@@PvKAmsterdam thank you so much 🖖

[@djhumanrights]

very coool setup there, nice track, outstanding work. video looks great.

[@acid_gray]

@@djhumanrights thanks, mate!

[@Cepheid-IDM]

Ace tune! DN2 is killing it

[@acid_gray]

Thanks for watching 🖖

[@robertcalton9198]

Brilliant! What modules are you using to get the sound from the DN2 into Eurorack? Something like a Doepfer A-119?

[@acid_gray]

Thanks a lot! Actually, I don't mix Eurorack and Groovebox stuff (to keep complexity managed somehow). Nevertheless: 1010 Bluebox (external, non-Eurorack) is / would be my device of choice, as the Bluebox can handle the high Eurorack levels (and the normal line levels as well). On top you could connect every device and even record up to 12 single tracks mono or 6 stereo. You can monitor via headphones - or send the signal to PA.

Quality !! 😎

Beautiful! Great track.

[@acid_gray]

@@FelixMatathias Thanks 🙏 🖖

[@JohannesLind]

hey great music!, a question, in your opinion, can you make new sounds on the digitone 2 that you couldnt really on the 1? particularly more analog or subtractive sounding, warmer etc? gthank you

[@acid_gray]

Thanks a lot, Johannes! I think in general you could create most sounds on DN1 as well (true FM specialists are probably able to create any sound on a DN1). There will always be workarounds (use two tracks panned left and right + detuned saw-waves + chorus to get a swarmer- like sound). If you don't need 16 tracks (for me the instant buy argument, as I now have many potential midi tracks - and can create drums AND melodies directly on DN2), maybe a DN1 could be a very good option for you. Currently those devices are offered at relatively low prices on the second hand market - and will give a lot of bang-for-the-buck. Nevertheless: the additional machines speeded up (my workflow) significantly. In terms of "analogue" or "warm" sounds: Also digital devices can sound incredibly lush and rich. Check out Miles Kvndras video tutorials for DN1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGHcemh7mbF2r80 Most important is to spend time with your device. Have fun!

Thanks for the inspiration! I’m eagerly awaiting mine. Love the track. Can you say more about the versatility?

[@acid_gray]

This machine offers so much more than FM synthesis with Swarmer-, Wavetone- and FM-Drum-Machines. Plus three (!) LFOs (LFO 3 enabling crossmodulation). My initial guess was: a super modern machine reviving some of the really cool Monomachine features plus an awesome modern sequencer. Moreover: sixteen tracks is a lot (at least for me). Here, I used tracks 1-4 for melodies, 9-16 for drums. Some people might not even need an additional drum machine. Otherwise, you could use the spare tracks as midi-machines and sequence whatever you like. Soundwise you can do everything between lush pads, banging techno and industrial noise🖖 Have fun with your Digitone 2!

[@jregras]

Digging this!!!!

[@acid_gray]

@@jregras 🖖🖖🖖thanks!

[@djhumanrights]

the pad is very detroit

[@DiegoFuego87]

Agree! For me the Detroit sound is also really in the twittery highs which this is packing too. Sweet jam!

[@acid_gray]

@@DiegoFuego87 thanks, Diego!

[@acid_gray]

@@djhumanrights it’s a perfect machine for pads - and so much more.
