Common Elektron Digitone Questions
How do I sync the Digitone to my DAW using MIDI?
Configure the Digitone's MIDI settings in the SYSTEM > MIDI CONFIG menu to send/receive Clock and Transport, ensuring your DAW's MIDI sync settings are sending clock to the Digitone's MIDI input channel (usually set to Auto). Double-check that OVERBRIDGE MODE is set to 'No' in the system menu if you are not using the Overbridge plugin.
What is the difference between a Pattern, Sound, and Kit on the Digitone, and how do I save them?
A Pattern is the arrangement of notes and parameter locks, a Sound is a single instrument preset, and a Kit combines four Sounds with performance settings; Save Patterns by pressing FUNC+PATTERN and selecting SAVE, save Sounds from the Sound Manager (FUNC+SOUND), and Kits are saved automatically when you save the Pattern they are associated with.
How do I quickly add parameter locks (p-locks) to notes in my sequence?
While the sequencer is running, hold a step on the sequencer and tweak a knob to record the parameter change on that specific step; You can also use the FUNC + NO buttons to clear p-locks on selected steps.
Why is my Digitone making no sound even though the sequencer is running?
Ensure the track volume is turned up, both on the individual track and the master volume; also, check that the sound is not muted by pressing the corresponding track button or by accidentally triggering mute mode.
How do I use the Digitone's FM algorithm presets as starting points for sound design?
Access the sound browser (FUNC+SOUND) and select a preset; then, delve into the SYN1 and SYN2 pages to adjust the operators' ratios, levels, and feedback to sculpt your own unique FM sounds, utilizing the filter and effects sections for further refinement.
