The Elektron Digitone II Polyphonic Digital Synthesiser is a powerful tool designed for professionals in electronic music production, sound design, and live performance, combining 16-note polyphony with four synthesis engines—FM Tone, FM Drum, Wavetone, and Swarmer—to enable complex sound creation, intricate rhythmic structuring, and precise sound shaping through advanced editing and effects.
Unleash Sound Potential with 16-Note Polyphony
With 16-note polyphony, the Digitone II enables lush, multi-layered soundscapes that can enhance a mix or serve as evolving standalone textures. Each of the 16 tracks integrates seamlessly with any of the four synthesis engines, allowing users to layer intricate melodies, deep basslines, and sophisticated percussion in a single sequence. This flexibility supports both streamlined and complex compositions, ideal for versatile applications in studio or live setups.
Explore Four Unique Synthesis Engines
The Digitone II’s four unique synthesis machines offer distinct approaches to sound creation. FM Tone and FM Drum bring sharp, versatile FM synthesis, enabling both impactful leads and detailed percussion. The Wavetone engine introduces rich, harmonic layers via wavetable synthesis, while Swarmer delivers experimental, detuned textures suited for unique and atmospheric tones. This range of options lets professionals blend melodic and percussive sounds with ease, expanding creative possibilities across genres and styles.
Achieve Precision with Advanced Note Editing
The advanced note editor in the Digitone II provides extensive control over sequencing, with options for micro-timing and articulation. This allows for meticulous adjustment of each note's placement, creating expressive and dynamic compositions. The editor's arpeggiator and trig conditions enhance the sequencing potential, offering the ability to craft patterns that range from human-like and fluid to tight, machine-precise rhythms.
Master Sound Design with Comprehensive Filters and Effect
Sound shaping on the Digitone II is refined through a robust array of filters and effects, including a digital base-width filter, overdrive, bit reduction, and sample rate reduction. Users can place the overdrive either pre- or post-filter for varied tonal impact, and additional features like stereo compression and master overdrive ensure each layer of the mix sits perfectly within the overall soundscape. This extensive suite allows professionals to design sounds with unmatched detail for any production or performance context.
