    Dude honestly this is incredible. There is something about the conversation that turns on a part of my brain that no other how to video can quite do. So simple but really effective - made me buy one

      Right. I have the digitone II, and need a bit of help with some of the functions - moving away from moog and Eurorack.

    Hopefully the digitone gets a game-changing update down the line like syntakt and digitakt did recently.
    Would also love the syntakt to get some way to utilize multiple voices for chords like digitone.

    At 4min, don't you mix up voice and track? I though the digitone has 8 voices?

    • @LiamKillen
      @LiamKillen  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I should have specified that the Digitone has 4 internal tracks - which i called voices. Sorry to mix those up
      It also has 4 midi tracks which i did not mention in this video as I feel that's a little more advanced.

      @@LiamKillen it just seems like an odd design choice to give an audio production device loud clicky buttons like a 1970s typewriter. You dont get distracted by it? can you hear it through headphones?
      *workaround - sample the button clicks and use them as percussion (sure someone must have done this)

    total Elektron beginner here. this video was kinda not really any help at all, it was just dude #1 fumbling through the unit explaining all the terms wrong and dude #2 nodding and saying “ok”…i get that it’s fun to twiddle the knobs and clack away at buttons but this isnt a tutorial or explanation by any stretch.

    • @LiamKillen
      @LiamKillen  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Either way I appreciate you watching - it’s more of a video to give an idea of what it’s actually capable of and not a hands on A to B tutorial
      I do have some more precise / technical Elektron content which is more along the lines of what you’re looking for.
