Common Elektron Digitone Questions
How do I sync the Digitone to my DAW via MIDI clock?
In the Digitone's settings (GLOBAL > MIDI CONFIG > SYNC), set 'Clock Receive' to 'MIDI' and ensure your DAW is sending MIDI clock to the Digitone's MIDI input channel.
What's the difference between a Sound, a Preset, a Pattern, and a Kit on the Digitone, and how do I save them?
A Sound is a single synth voice, a Preset is a saved Sound, a Pattern holds sequencer data and links to sounds, and a Kit links specific sounds to each of the four synth tracks within a pattern; Save sounds via the Sound Manager, Patterns via the Pattern menu, and Kits are saved automatically with their associated pattern.
How do I quickly create a new pattern and start sequencing?
Press [FUNC] + [PATTERN] to open the Pattern menu, then use the data encoder to select an empty pattern slot, and press [YES] to load it - now you're ready to record.
Why is my Digitone not playing any sound, even though the sequencer is running?
Check that the levels for each track (Synth 1-4) are turned up both on the track level page and on the master level page, and ensure no track is muted by accidentally pressing the track buttons.
How do I use the Digitone's FM algorithms to create unique sounds?
Explore the SYN1 page, accessible by pressing [SYN1], to select different algorithms that route the four operators; Experiment with varying the ratios of the operators and adjusting the feedback amounts to achieve a wide range of FM timbres.
