Layer rich textures with 16-note polyphony
The Digitone II’s 16-note polyphony allows you to create lush, multi-layered sounds that can fill out a mix or stand alone as rich, evolving textures. Each of the 16 tracks can be used with any of the four synthesis machines, giving you the ability to layer intricate melodies, deep basslines, and complex percussion all at once. The combination of polyphony and flexibility ensures that your compositions can be as simple or as complex as needed, making this synth a powerful choice for both live and studio environments.
Four versatile synthesis machines
The Digitone II offers four unique synthesis engines, each providing different ways to craft sound. The FM Tone and FM Drum machines allow for sharp, dynamic FM synthesis, ideal for creating both punchy leads and intricate percussion. The Wavetone machine adds wavetable synthesis for rich harmonic textures, while the Swarmer provides experimental, detuned sounds perfect for otherworldly tones. This range of machines lets you switch effortlessly between melodic and percussive elements, opening up endless creative possibilities.
Precision control with advanced note editing
The advanced note editor on the Digitone II offers deep control over every element of your sequence. With micro-timing and advanced articulation options, you can fine-tune the exact placement and feel of each note. This allows for more expressive sequences and performances, giving your patterns a human-like quality or allowing for incredibly tight, precise rhythms. Paired with the included arpeggiator and trig conditions, you can create evolving, dynamic compositions with ease.
Comprehensive sound shaping with filters and effects
Sound design on the Digitone II is taken to the next level with its wide range of filters and effects. Each voice comes equipped with a digital base-width filter, digital overdrive, bit reduction, and sample rate reduction, allowing you to sculpt your sounds with fine detail. The movable overdrive can be applied either pre- or post-filter, giving you more control over the tonal impact. On top of this, the stereo compressor and master overdrive effect help you shape the overall mix, making sure your sounds sit exactly where you want them.
