Description
The Elektron Digitone II Digital Synthesizer is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.
Step into a new realm of sound with the Digitone II, an evolution of Elektron’s original FM synthesiser, now offering expanded polyphony and enhanced creative control. With 16 tracks (versus the original’s 8) and a flexible 16-voice polyphony, you can unleash complex soundscapes across synth or MIDI tracks. Digitone II introduces four selectable synth machines (Wavetone, Swarmer, FM Tone, and FM Drum) and six dynamic filter machines, providing far more sonic variety than its predecessor. The improved 128-step sequencer, along with Euclidean sequencing and advanced modulation options, invites you to explore limitless creative possibilities. Packed with powerful effects, deeper sound-shaping tools, and a modular workflow.
Expanded Polyphony and Synth Machines:
While the original Digitone offered 8 voices and 4 synth tracks, the Digitone II doubles the polyphony to 16 voices and expands the tracks to 16, allowing for far more layered compositions. In addition, the four new synthesis machines (Wavetone, Swarmer, FM Tone, FM Drum) go beyond standard FM synthesis, offering greater creative potential for crafting rich melodic, rhythmic, and percussive sounds.
Enhanced Sequencing and Performance Features:
Digitone II features a 128-step sequencer—twice the length of the original Digitone’s—enabling more complex patterns and compositions. The addition of Euclidean mode per track offers a fresh approach to sequencing, making it easier to generate evolving rhythms. With individual pattern length, time scale multipliers, and enhanced trig conditions, the Digitone II’s sequencing features are a leap forward from the original, giving you deeper control over your compositions.
Advanced Modulation and Effects:
The Digitone II builds on its predecessor’s modulation and effects capabilities, with three assignable LFOs per voice (up from two in the original) and added effects like digital overdrive, bit reduction, and sample rate reduction per voice. The inclusion of master effects like the stereo compressor and overdrive means you can fine-tune your final mix, while send effects like Saturator Delay and Supervoid Reverb add depth and dimension to your sounds.
